[Commlist] Game Studies special issue - Queerness & Video Games

Amanda Phillips and I are proud to announce that the "Queerness & Video 
Games" special issue <http://gamestudies.org/1803/> of /Game Studies /is 
now out! The issue includes eleven original peer-review articles on a 
variety of topics relating to queerness, gender, sexuality, games, and 
play, as well as an introduction from the special issue editors, Amanda 
and myself. We hope that you will have the chance to read, teach, and 
share this important collection of work. A table of contents with links 
to the individual articles below.

This issue has been a number of years in the making and represents the 
hard work of many, many people -- including the authors, the reviewers, 
the Game Studies editors, and our supportive network of colleagues in 
queer game studies and queer game communities. Our thanks go out to all!

Sincerely,
Bo Ruberg and Amanda Phillips
