Building on the game design philosophy of Chris Crawford and the game criticism theory of Clara Fernández-Vara, the author proposes a paradigm for game criticism. This approach examines globally popular video games from the 1960s to the 2020s through lenses such as consumption, gender, transmediality, and regional culture. By adopting a perspective of critical reflection, the book aims to cut through the digital complexity and offer readers a path to comprehend the cultural significance of games and enhance their gaming literacy. Ultimately, it seeks to use video games as a medium for understanding our diverse and complex world.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿10¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿Chris Crawford¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿-¿¿¿Clara Fernández-Varä¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿1960-2020¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
