Niedenthal, Simon : DiGRA Online Library (2009) "Breaking New Ground," Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) 2009 Conference, London, UK, September 2009.	peer-reviewed conference PAPER

English abstract

Digital games are commonly described as phenomena that combine aesthetic, social and technological elements, yet our understanding of the aesthetic element of games and play is perhaps the least developed of all. All too often, an aesthetics perspective within game studies and design discourses is relegated to a marginal role, by conflating game aesthetics with graphics and “eye candy,” or by limiting aesthetic discussion to graphic style analysis or debates on the question “are ...
