Research Resources

Page history last edited by Colby 12 years, 2 months ago

This page is for any books, articles, links, or research that deals with gaming. If time, we can give a brief summary and editorial comment for each resource (i.e. "this is awful!")

(By the way, if you are interested, I'm using APA formating, but we don't need to be this formal. I'm trying to practice my APA because I'm so terrible at it and I need to know how to do it for my other academic research project.)
