New title from David S. Heineman, "Thinking about Video Games: Interviews with the Experts." This book consists of a collection of interviews with a who's who of the video game universe. According to Michael Newman, author of Video Revolutions: On the History of a Medium, "Heineman's conversations reveal the many dimensions of games as technology, industry, and popular art. This is sure to be essential reading to a wide audience of players, makers, and critics of one of our century's most defining forms of cultural expression."

The first book in the series has just been published--Playing with Religion in Digital Games. The book is edited by Heidi Campbell and Gregory Grieve and contains essays by some of the most influential scholars investigating the intersection of video games and religion. According to Paul Emerson Teusner of RMIT University, "This volume offers, finally, a space for legitimate discussions on the nature of 'play' within our notions of religious participation or spiritual searching. The greatest benefit of this book is that it highlights how engaging in digital gaming represents new questions about what makes a thing (be it a story, an action, or a symbol) religious."
