The July 2008 issue is out! This issue’s theme is Family Fun. As well as some stories about gaming with family members, we have our usual crop of interviews and insightful and creative articles. Enjoy!
We’re currently looking for submissions for our August issue. Here’s the call for submissions:
Submission deadline: July 20
Theme: Fight Like a GirlViolence of one kind or another is a common feature of many games, and a matter of some concern to the non-gaming population. Is it all just harmless fantasy fun, or are there lines that shouldn’t be crossed? What’s so enjoyable about fighting in games?
And what about gendered violence in gaming? Female fighters are often fetishized in a way their male counterparts aren’t, and women and girl characters are often victims of sexualized violence. What does all this mean for gaming and for gamers?
If you’re interested in topics relating to violence, fighting and sexuality in gaming, be sure to submit your work for this issue.
