Recent years have seen an increase in public attention to identity
and representation in video games, including journalists and
bloggers holding the digital game industry accountable for the
discrimination routinely endured by female gamers, queer gamers,
and gamers of color. Video game developers are responding to these
critiques, but scholarly discussion of representation in games has
lagged far behind. Gaming Representation examines portrayals of
race, gender, and sexuality in a range of games, from casuals like
Diner Dash, to indies like Journey and The Binding of Isaac, to
mainstream games from the Grand Theft Auto, BioShock, Spec Ops, The
Last of Us, and Max Payne franchises. Arguing that representation
and identity function as systems in games that share a stronger
connection to code and platforms than it may first appear, the
contributors to this volume push gaming scholarship to new levels
of inquiry, theorizing, and imagination.
