Adult Gamers within the Family
Hi Can anyone help me with references about adults playing computer games as part of the family, for instance, parents who use the computer for work which blurs into entertainment through gaming. Thanks Sue
Hi everyone. I'm also interested if anyone knows of any work on computer games as used adults, as I'll probably be writing my dissertation in that area. The only things I've found have been related to using college-aged students for the sample, and usually in cases of video game violence effect studies.

James Gee has a new book coming out, _What Video Games have to teach us about learning and literacy_ I haven't seen it so I don't know if it's applicable to what you're researching, but it might be worth a look. Good luck.

Hi Sue, You may find it useful to take a look at the digital gaming bibliography at www.digiplay.org.uk/books.php and even post a request to the Digiplay list. Although, not specifically family orientated in its focus, Marinka Copier has done some fascinating work on older game players. See www.cric.ac.uk/cric/gamerz/abstracts/copier.htm.
