Playing horror : narrative and genre in Valve's Left 4 Dead Series
2013
The place of story and narrative in digital games has been a hotly contested topic within the field of Game Studies during the past two decades.

Studying the field of game studies : a proposal model to categorize game studies
2016

Kategorisoinnin avulla voidaan saada lisää tietoa siitä, mitä pelitutkimuksen alueella tutkitaan. Mäyrän (2008) ja Juulin (2011) pelitutkimuksen kuvailujen perusteella olen rakentanut mallin, jota kutsun 3+1-malliksi. Ehdottomani 3+1-mallin kategorioiden mukaisesti kaikki pelitutkimukseksi luokiteltavat tutkimukset voi kategorisoida johonkin seuraavista luokista: peli, pelaaja tai konteksti, tai näiden yhdistelmiin: peli ja pelaaja, peli ja konteksti, pelaaja ja konteksti, tai kaikista kolmesta koostuvaan pelaaminen-luokkaan. Tämä Pro gradu -tutkiel…

Video games as new tools for political persuasion : web games of the Estonian Centre Party

Using video games in political campaigning is a recent and not very widely spread trend. Therefore, these web games provided an opportunity to examine the ways how political messages can be inserted into video games and how the qualities that are unique to video games can form political arguments and persuade the players. The main objective of this thesis was to identify the persuasive components of Centre Party's web games and to compare the persuasive arguments that were found from the games' representative layer to those that were formed on the games' p…
