[game_edu] Reading Material for Critical Game Studies course

[David Wessman]

I have found these useful:

Homo Ludens by Johan Huizinga
Man, Play and Games by Roger Caillois
An Introduction to Game Studies by Frans Mayra

The first two are particularly thought-provoking, but can be challenging
for students who believe anything written more than 2 years ago is
hopelessly out of date and irrelevant. ;-)

And I would avoid this one:

Handbook of Computer Game Studies by Joost Raessens
