Oooh, looks interesting. Kev Smith will be pissed of that someone's beaten him to it though.
Shall have to have a good browse when time allows.
Salut.
"Welcome to the first issue of the first academic, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to computer game studies. This is a noteworthy occasion, and perhaps the most remarkable aspect is that such a journal has not been started before. As we know, there have been computer games for almost as long as there have been computers: SpaceWar, arguably the first modern game, turns forty this year, and
commercially the genre has existed for three decades. So why not
something like this before?"

Interessting...
One thing I think is constantly overlooked in narrative-game-theories is the root of many modern computer games in Pen and Paper Roleplaying.
For example in Henry Jenkins Essay "Complete Freedom of Movement" (http://web.mit.edu/21fms/www/faculty/henry3/pub/complete.html one of the few things I have read and not only read about) he builds a very interessting theoretical framework, for computer games, completely ignoring P&P, but if you read the article you will see that the framework is perfectly suited for P&P.
