unexplored, especially from a media and communication studies
perspective. Multiplayer: Social Aspects of Digital Gaming is the

various forms of human interaction in and around digital games,
providing an overview of debates, past and present. The book is
divided into five sections that explore the following areas: Social

Social Gaming This engaging interdisciplinary book will appeal to
upper level students, postgrads and researchers in games research,
specifically those focusing on new media and digital games, as well
as researchers in media studies and mass communication.
