Produktbeschreibung
From their inception, video games quickly became a major new arena of popular entertainment. Beginning with very primitive games, they quickly evolved into interactive animated works, many of which now approach ¬lm in terms of their visual excitement. But there are important differences, as Arthur Asa Berger makes clear in this important new work.

Berger, a renowned scholar of popular culture, explores the cultural signi¬cance of the expanding popularity and sophistication of video games and considers the biological and psychoanalytic aspects of this phenomenon.
