Jennifer, Nicole, Luciano, Robert: thank you very much!! Other AIRlisters: more recommendations? Alejandro. 2014-03-31 16:13 GMT-03:00 Nicole Grove <nicolesunday@gmail.com>:
I agree with Robert, Ian Bogost's book Unit Operations and also How To Do Things with Video Games are very good. McKenzie Wark's Gamer Theory and Alexander Galloway's Gaming: Essays on Algorithmic Culture are also good if you are interested in the ethics of games and gaming.

Hi Alejandro,
I would recommend Ian Bogost's work on procedural rhetoric, and you might message a MA student with whom I've been working, whose thesis, just defended, deals precisely with game design ethics among other things. His name is Andrew Potter: andrew.potter@ttu.edu

Hi, I´m doing some research about video games and ethics... Can you recomend me some books/readings about it? I´m focusing in this two perspectives:
1) Implicit or explicit values in video games.
2) Gameplay and mechanics as a frame for ethical decisions in video games.
Thanks in advance,
