| | Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter $15.98 Tom Bissell is a prizewinning writer who published three widely acclaimed books before the age of thirty-four. He is also an obsessive gamer who has spent untold hours in front of his various video game consoles, playing titles such as "Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, BioShock, "and" Oblivion" for, literally, days. If you are reading this flap copy, the same thing can probably be said of you, or of someone you know. Until recently, Bissell was somewhat reluctant to admit to his passion for games. In this, he is not alone. Millions of adults spend hours every week playing video games, and the industry itself now reliably outearns Hollywood. But the wider culture seems to regard video games as, at best, well designed if mindless entertainment. "Extra Lives" is an impassioned defense of this assailed and misunderstood art form. Bissell argues that we are in a golden age of gaming?but he also believes games could be even better. He offers a fascinating and often hilarious critique of the ways video games dazzle and, just as often, frustrate. Along the way, we get firsthand portraits of some of the best minds (Jonathan Blow, Clint Hocking, Cliff Bleszinski, Peter Molyneux) at work in video game design today, as well as a shattering and deeply moving final chapter that describes, in searing detail, Bissell?s descent into the world of "Grand Theft Auto IV," a game whose themes mirror his own increasingly self-destructive compulsions. Blending memoir, criticism, and first-rate reportage, "Extra Lives" is like no other book on the subject ever published. Whether you love video games, loathe video games, or are merely curious about why they are becoming the dominant popular art form of our time, "Extra Lives" is required reading. |

| | Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth about Violent Video Games and $17.48 Listening to pundits and politicians, you?d think that the relationship between violent video games and aggressive behavior in children is clear. Children who play violent video games are more likely to be socially isolated and have poor interpersonal skills. Violent games can trigger real-world violence. The best way to protect our kids is to keep them away from games such as Grand Theft Auto that are rated M for Mature. Right? Wrong. In fact, many parents are worried about the wrong things In 2004, Lawrence Kutner, PhD, and Cheryl K. Olson, ScD, cofounders and directors of the Harvard Medical School Center for Mental Health and Media, began a $1.5 million federally funded study on the effects of video games. In contrast to previous research, their study focused on real children and families in real situations. What they found surprised, encouraged and sometimes disturbed them: their findings conform to the views of neither the alarmists nor the video game industry boosters. In "Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth about Violent Video Games and What Parents Can Do," Kutner and Olson untangle the web of politics, marketing, advocacy and flawed or misconstrued studies that until now have shaped parents? concerns. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all prescription, "Grand Theft Childhood" gives the information you need to decide how you want to handle this sensitive issue in your own family. You?ll learn when ? and what kinds of ? video games can be harmful, when they can serve as important social or learning tools and how to create and enforce game-playing rules in your household. You?ll find out what?s really in the games your children play and when to worry about your children playing with strangers on the Internet. You?ll understand how games are rated, how to make best use of ratings and the potentially important information that ratings don?t provide. "Grand Theft Childhood" takes video games out of the political and media arenas, and puts parents back in control. It should be required reading for all families who use game consoles or computers. Almost all children today play video or computer games. Half of twelve-year-olds regularly play violent, Mature-rated games. And parents are worried? ""I don?t know if it?s an addiction, but my son is just glued to it. It?s the same with my daughter with her computer?and I can?t be watching both of them all the time, to see if they?re talking to strangers or if someone is getting killed in the other room on the PlayStation. It?s just nerve-racking " "I?m concerned that this game playing is just the kid and the TV screen?how is this going to affect his social skills?" "I?m not concerned about the violence; I?m concerned about the way they portray the violence. It?s not accidental; it?s intentional. They?re just out to kill people in some of these games."

| | The Civic Potential of Video Games $17.98 This report focuses on the civic aspects of video game play among youth. According to a 2006 survey, 58 percent of young people aged 15 to 25 were civically "disengaged," meaning that they participated in fewer than two types of either electoral activities (defined as voting, campaigning, etc.) or civic activities (for example, volunteering). Kahne and his coauthors are interested in what role video games may or may not play in this disengagement. Until now, most research in the field has considered how video games relate to children?s aggression and to academic learning. Digital media scholars suggest, however, that other social outcomes also deserve attention. For example, as games become more social, some scholars argue that they can be important spheres in which to foster civic development. Others disagree, suggesting that games, along with other forms of Internet involvement, may in fact take time away from civic and political engagement. Drawing on data from the 2006 survey, the authors examine the relationship between video game play and civic development. They call for further research on teen gaming experiences so that we can understand and promote civic engagement through video games. |
| | Sex in Video Games $33.49 Since the first computer games became available, sex has played a role in some form. But with the release of games like Playboy: The Mansion, Leisure Suit Larry, and The Singles, sexual content has gained a firm foothold and for the first time, ventured into the mainstream. Even casual games like The Sims have started to rev things up a bit, and in on-line games, tales of cybering have become commonplace. This sexual revolution in games has generated intense scrutiny of the games industry by political watchdog groups and family-oriented organizations. And it has brought the importance of self-regulation and rating systems to the forefront of the industry. Seeking to understand this emerging trend, developers, publishers, retailers, and consumers are asking themselves: When is sex appropriate in a game? How far is too far? What will it mean for the product? For its distribution? For my company? For me? Do games with sexual content sell better? Are they generally profitable? So far, there are no definitive answers to these questions. Sex in Video Games provides insight into this issue and presents guidelines and answers by studying the history of sexual content use in games and within the industry itself. In addition, the book considers ethical issues, parental and retailer responsibility, and explores industry attempts at self-regulation, along with a growing concern about potential censorship. |

After years of chronic infidelity, Gary Bloch (Kevin Scott Crawford) is getting his comeuppance when he learns that his wife, Traci (Patricia Paul), is having an affair. Driven mad by jealousy, Gary confides his thoughts of killing his spouse to Dan Hess (Joel D. Wynkoop), a longtime friend who works as a police detective, and is also involved in a destructive sexual relationship. As he tries to reassure his friend and convince him not to kill himself or someone else, Dan remembers that Gary?s cousin is Mike Strauber, a notorious local serial killer. Wondering if there might be a familial link in Gary and Mike?s desire to turn to violence, Dan discusses this notion with David Siedow (Kermit Christman), a local psychiatrist with a history of working with criminals. Dan?s real reason for visiting David is to establish Gary as a possible suspect when Dan kills his troublesome girlfriend, as well as Traci. However, while David is on to Dan?s scheme, this makes things all the more puzzling for him when another killer arrives on the scene. Wicked Games is a loose follow-up to an earlier direct-to-video feature from writer and director Tim Ritter. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi |
