Subj: announcing G|A|M|E journal n.5/2016




We’re proud to announce that G|A|M|E n. 5/2016 has been published and is 
available (open access) at http://www.gamejournal.it/issues/game-n-52016/


Can video game design be compared to more formalized practices of 
scientific research or speculation within game studies? And, by virtue 
of an intellectual leap that in itself calls for discussion, can video 
games be considered as an efficient vehicle for the presentation of 
certain kinds of knowledge, in the same way in which papers, conference 
presentations, and books are?

In an experimental format for academic publishing, G|A|M|E n. 5/2016 
contains both articles and playable artifacts that address these themes.


The editors of G|A|M|E n.5/2016
Giovanni Caruso, Riccardo Fassone, Gabriele Ferri, Stefano Gualeni, 
Mauro Salvador
