Analog Game Studies<\/a>: As the name implies, this is a journal dedicated to writings on analog games. Divided into three sections – “analysis,” “documentation,” and “experimentation & design” – each issue contains three articles. A useful & interesting resource if you’re interested in the analog side of gaming.<\/p>\n

BoardGameGeek<\/a>: A\u00a0great resource for (as you might guess!) board games. Some of the user-submitted content is excellent, and the site offers overviews of everything from ancient games to the latest releases.<\/p>\n

The Console Living Room<\/a> (Internet Archive): An amazing example of software archiving, The Console Living Room is a\u00a0digital collection\u00a0of home consoles (and a few handhelds), with a great many playable (in your browser!) games.<\/p>\n

Critical Distance<\/a>: C-D brings together some of the more interesting, thoughtful, and unique writing on games each week. There are also curated collections related to specific games, as well as a podcast.<\/p>\n

The Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA)<\/a>: DiGRA is one of the main associations for academics & professionals who research digital games. You can access the digital library<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Transactions of DiGRA<\/em> (ToDiGRA)<\/a> journal.<\/p>\n

GameSetWatch<\/a>: Now defunct (though the archives are intact) little sibling to Gamasutra; the archives (particularly the columns) are worth poking through.<\/p>\n

GDC Vault<\/a>: The Game Developers Conference (GDC) comprises several conferences – these are some of the premier events for the (digital) game industry. The GDC Vault includes the conference presentations, talks, and panels – many of which are available for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Internet Arcade<\/a> (Internet Archive): Another example of pretty amazing software archiving, the Internet Arcade is another digital collection with many playable games.<\/p>\n

Leigh Alexander<\/a>: A selection of writing by Leigh, whose writing I have enjoyed for a long time (a good place to get ideas about thoughtful, but non-academic, writings on games & media generally)<\/p>\n

Memory Insufficient<\/a>: A games history ezine with a wide range of thoughtful essays. Published approximately once a month, it’s another good place to hunt for interesting articles on everything from ancient boardgames to videogames.<\/p>\n

MS-DOS Games<\/a> (Internet Archive): Like the Internet Arcade & Console Living Room, you’ll find a large collection of (playable in your browser!) MS-DOS games – including some real classics from several genres. There is also a showcase<\/a> highlighting games of particular interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
