Introduction
Exploring the Frontiers of Digital Gaming: Traditional Games, Expressive Games, Pervasive Games
Keywords:
Video Games, Digital Gaming, Traditional Games, Expressive Games, Pervasive GamesAbstract
Since the turn of the millennium, the study of digital games has taken a lot of space in the academic endeavours focussing on ludic manifestations. Many literature reviews of contemporary game studies essentially focus on the work being done on this format (Rueff, 2008; Zabban, 2012). Clearly, where digital games are discussed during conferences, in dedicated books and journal issues, reflections on non-digital games or other experiments at the margin of video games don’t receive as much attention, even though they are continually developing.
