Reviews
'The work as a whole is useful for both game researchers and game designers; individual essays focus on such topics as intellectual property, music theory, the history of technology since the 1970s, identity and representation in video games, and the affective and physiological effects of music beyond this specific field ... Recommended.' W. McNelis, Choice Connect
