Blockbuster Central: Vicarious Play and the Paradox of the Video Game Movie: A Central Question for Media Education
$7.50
DESCRIPTION
Despite far surpassing movies in global sales, and rivalling them in terms of star power and internet hype, video games are rarely given as much critical attention as films – something that isn't helped by the dismal quality of big-screen game adaptations. Peter Gutiérrez explores the complicated relationship between cinema and gaming, and explains why leaving gaming out of lessons means missing out on a rich media learning opportunity.
Additional keywords: Assassin's Creed, adaptation, Tomb Raider, Lara Croft, Street Fighter, Doom, Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, gaming, Gutierrez.
