[game_edu] How not to write a college essay about videogames

[Aaron Chia Yuan Hung]

There's an online journal "e-Learning and Digital Media" (http://www.wwwords.co.uk/elea/) that publishes more scholarly game reviews. I've written some of them, but there are others. I believe most of them are free to download now.

You should encourage your students to contribute to the journal and write up scholarly game review.

It was really hard to let go the "awesomeness" and "adrenaline-pumping" words of my mind when thinking about advanced computer technology and algorithms in AAA games.
