[Commlist] Special issue of GAME on digital entertainment and special needs published

Special issue of GAME on digital entertainment and special needs is out

A new special issue of GAME has been released with a focus on Digital 
Entertainment and Special Needs.  Edited by Enrico Gandolfi, Kaybeth 
Calabria, and Richard E. Ferdig, it includes 5 peer-reviewed articles 
that address different aspects of the relationship between video games 
and special needs (e.g., spanning universal interfaces, empathy through 
games, ludic mechanics for visually impaired players, and haptic media 
as inclusion drivers). Implications for design and development are 
included along with best practices for using video games to address biases.
