With literally thousands of titles to choose from, there is definitely something for everyone to enjoy. But just how enjoyable ARE video games? How do you quantify the ‘enjoyment’ of them?It’s arguably true that we’re ALL predisposed to feel sentimentally attached to the video games associated with our childhood. In many ways, video games from our past, act as symbols of a simpler, more carefree period of our lives. Video Games trigger nostalgia, because we invest EMOTIONS in playing them, heightened feelings of competitiveness, frustration, joy, and pride. Video games produce ‘feedback loops’ that reward players for playing them, also sharpening our sensory reflexes.Video game narratives offer players a significant and highly memorable chance to feel heroic, and experience a sense of mastery, which can often be rare in our non-gaming lives. With the arrival of every new era of video gaming technology, those born into it will unwittingly accept it, not even realising that it is new, while those who are rooted in older video game technologies (like myself), will often prefer to go back, to the way things ‘used to be’.If video games are YOUR passion, then this book might be of interest to you, particularly if you're a fan of video games which featured prominently within popular culture - during the era of 1975-2020.'Video Game Review Archive: Volume 1' rates the enjoyment factor of precisely 500 video games, spanning the period of 1975-2020.
