Critical Games Studies: Bibliography

This is the third part in the Critical Games Design series. Earlier in the year we were introduced to the Library resources in UCS. The library allows us to access a large selection of texts which will help us in our studies. This is a bibliography.

This was completed with the help of Zotero and Firefox which easily allow for referencing at a high standard. I hope these are correct if not please do comment to make me aware. The last reference was added after my extensive research of The Royal Game of Ur for a previous assignment.

Wrapping up

So from being introduced to Zotero a great tool for referencing I can now develop and 

understand the uses of academic referencing which I have previously shown is a weak point

in my assignments.

Personally I struggled with this and using Zotero, I tried using it with Google Chrome in which you need a stand-alone version. After a lot of trial and error, a new browser and some help from other students I think I finally got there.

So that is the end of Part 3 of the Critical Games Design series. Part 4 coming soon.
