Not all of the half of Americans age six and older who play video/ computer games are adolescent males. In addition to gamers demographics, Garrelts (English, Saginaw Valley State U., Michigan) traces the games' evolution. In 15 essays, North American and UK scholars—some avid gamers—analyze the complex relationship between player and game from cybernetic, social, psychological, and "modding" (user modification) perspectives. Contributors address the debate over the impact of such violent games as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR More Reviews and Recommendations
