During the last few years, a new area of creative media industry,
namely Serious Games, has started to emerge around the world. The
term serious games has become more popular for example in the
fields of education, business, welfare and safety. Despite this,
there has been no single definition of serious games. A key
question, what the concept itself means, has stayed unsolved though
most have agreed on a definition that serious games are games or
game-like interactive systems developed with game technology and
design principles for a primary purpose other than pure
entertainment. In this book, serious games are understood as games
which aim at providing an engaging, self-reinforcing context in
which to motivate and educate the players. Serious games can be of
any genre, use any game technology, and be developed for any
platform. They can be entertaining, but usually they teach the user
something. The central aim of serious games is to raise quality of
life and well-being. As part of interactive media industry, the
serious games field focuses on designing and using digital games
for real-life purposes and for the everyday life of citizens in
information societies. The field of serious games focuses on such
areas as education, business, welfare, military, traffic, safety,
travelling and tourism.
