What video games make me understanding

When I start this final blog, I have already decided to write this with a game mood. It is the last time to write on this blogger and have to say goodbye to Game Theory 328. But a serious game cannot easily been given up.

As one game own tens of thousands of players, it has been seen as one of mass media. In one hand, the players could have multiple interactions with each other. On the other hand, the video game is a carrier of text, image, audio and video which could propagate mess information, meaning even ideology. The space of game is a mirror world of our society. The new technology could bring us new media, and the new media like video game can guide us to the new life. People have to figure out both positive and negative aspects behind of this multiplex media.  

As McLuhan said before ‘games are the Extensions of Man’. After I studied this course, in my personal cognition of video game, it is a significant, valuable and funny life. Although the game space probably has a certain distance with our real life, but the space allows the player to gain a kind of interactive experience with others. It’s an extension of our life; it’s a tool of self-expression.

This means that the course is a game. How to benefit from it is the most important thing, which every player have to think about that. Otherwise, probably you gonna left it once finished it.
