About this book

The book provides a comprehensive application of narrative theory to video games, and presents the player-response paradigm of game criticism. Video Game Narrative and Criticism explains the nature of gameplay - a psychological experience and a meaning-making process in the fictional world of video games.

About the author

Dr. Tamer Thabet presently leads an international research partnership between universities and private sector to explore new horizons in game design and content. His other publications deal with video games in the contexts of postmodernism and humanities, which appear in various academic journals in North and South America and Europe.
