The use of computing technology for entertainment purposes is not a
recent p- nomenon. Video game consoles, home computers and other
entertainment media have been used widely for more than three
decades, and people of all ages are spe- ing an increasing amount
of time and money on these technologies. More recent is the rise of
a vibrant research community focusing on gaming and entertainment
applications. Driven by the growth and the coming of age of the g-
ing industry, and by its increasing recognition in the media and
the minds of the broader public, the study of computer games, game
development and experiences is attracting the interest of
researchers from very diverse fields: social sciences, comp- ing,
electrical engineering, design, etc. Research of this kind looks to
extend the boundaries of gaming technologies. In a relentless drive
for innovation, it looks to create and understand an ever
increasing range of experiences, and examine how games can provide
value for educational, therapeutic and other 'serious' purposes.
These themes were reflected in the call for participation and
eventually the papers accepted for presentation. The Fun n' Games
conference was the second event of a bi-annual series of c-
ferences. The first event of the series was held in Preston in 2006
organized by the University of Central Lancashire. Following the
success of this event it was decided to run a follow up.
