摘要：
It is becoming more and more difficult to ignore video games. They are not simply for children. They are not a passing fad. While much popular and academic debate concerning video games touches on topics of interest to Marxists, neither opponents nor proponents of gaming typically have a Marxian framework in mind. Nick DyerWitheford and Greig de Peuter's Games of Empire helps fill this gap. There are some unresolved theoretical issues in their autonomous Marxian account of gaming. Nonetheless, this book offers the best analysis of the contradictory problems and promises of video games within the context of contemporary capitalism.
