In the past forty years we have seen huge technological leaps:
computers, the Internet, and mobile phones, among many other
fantastic things. The human nature to play and the need to be
challenged mingled with these technologies, and videogames were the
result. A whole generation has grown up with videogames; to them,
holding a joystick is as natural as holding as pencil. Videogames
have survived economic setbacks, refusing to be destroyed by a
fickle market, always managing to evolve into something new to
capture the imagination and find some way to take over lives and
homes. Sonic, Mario, PlayStationa these terms are now part of the
cultural lexicon. It isn't uncommon to find a console lurking under
televisions but at the same time, this newly emerged media has come
under attack by those looking to find a cause for society's ills.
Part rock 'n' roll, part multibillion dollar industry, videogaming
is the fastest growing media in modern culture. Clearly, it is here
to stay. The Pocket Essential Videogaming contains: a complete
history of videogames; cultural essays on branding, popular
culture, violence and female gamers; and reviews of over 120 of the
most important videogames of the past thirty years.
