Game Criticism: Topics*

36-3540

This is an intensive writing course that develops the game designer's capacity to do substantial, written, critical analysis of a game, including substantial research and references to prior art. Two primary projects are created, both of which are extensive reviews of contemporary games. The latter game title is the rotating topic game of the course. Students are expected to cite relevant and prior art game play elements and to provide criticism that makes specific game design recommendations to remedy any deficiencies.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.

* Prerequisite Required.
