Play Reality: How Videogames are Changing EVERYTHING

by Teace Snyder, Jayne Gackenbach

Play How Videogames are Changing EVERYTHING, is Jayne Gackenbach's and Teace Snyder's first book together and, like, the twentieth or something between the two of them. Jayne Gackenbach is a well-respected videogame and dream researcher and Teace Snyder is a 'kind of' well-respected hardcore gamer and lifelong writer. Jayne works at, and can be contacted through, Grant MacEwan University, where she has taught and researched for 21 years, and, Teace, oversees, and can be contacted through his website, www.teace.ca, which he created and launched in 2007. Oh yeah, and by the way, they're mother and son too, and, are currently living in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, where they regularly express the endless bounds of their geekiness and hold hipsters in utter contempt.

[Thomas Myers · Rating 2 out of 5]

I've been trying to find this for years ever since I read about in Game Informer magazine. But I was kinda disappointed. It is written waaaaayyyy too casually, and takes too long to get to its central point. And other researchers talk about the topics better, such as "gamification," in Reality is Broken by Jane McGonigal.
