JOURNAL DETAILS
JOURNAL OF BOARDGAME DESIGN
http://jbdgames.blogspot.com/
Description
The focus is on game mechanisms – what makes a game exciting and why. How did the board game designer make his game fun? Components and theme are secondary. The play’s the thing.
JOURNAL OF GAME DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION (JGDDE)
http://www.rit.edu/gccis/gameeducationjournal/about
Description
The Journal of Game Design and Development Education (JGDDE) is a peer-reviewed journal that covers all aspects of teaching the art, craft and science of game design and development to students in and out of a higher education setting. We plan to cover a range of work in the emerging field, as well represented by the content in the first issue. For example, Ian Parberry’s piece covers the emergence and growth of his pioneering work in the field teaching game programming in a university setting over the better part of two decades while Beth Lameman’s article looks at an evolving effort to teach game design and development to pre-university indigenous youth as a way of recapturing and owning their heritage while David Schwartz’s effort chronicles the early design of a mixed hardware and software course to create new types of game controllers.
Games are a multidisciplinary medium and those who teach their creation come from as broad a set of backgrounds as you can find. JGDDE will celebrate that diversity of skills and backgrounds.

JOURNAL OF GAMING & VIRTUAL WORLDS
http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Journal,id=164/
Description
The Journal of Gaming and Virtual Worlds focuses on theoretical and applied, empirical, critical, rhetorical, creative, economic and professional approaches to the study of electronic games across platforms and genres as well as ludic and serious online environments.
JOURNAL OF GAMES CRITICISM
http://gamescriticism.org/about/
Description
The Journal of Games Criticism grew out of lively conversations among graduate students and faculty from the Department of Communication and Media (C&M) and the Department of Science and Technology Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Starting in 2012, several C&M students identified the need for critical tools for reflection about and useful for the design of video games. From these conversations, it is apparent that, while there are a handful of established journals within the field of games studies, additional space was needed to join together the communities at work within gaming culture. This space would call on all corners of the community, from developers and writers to bloggers and academics, to be a dynamic, current, and multifaceted journal. It continues the hallmark of peer-review from academic journals while opting for total inclusion.
We take video games as our impetus and our enterprise. With multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity as our tools, we look to the past of video gaming in order to orchestrate and build its future. Looking to rhetoric, media studies, and cultural studies, many apparatuses of analysis are present, but they all must be brought into these media and reborn.

JOURNAL OF VIRTUAL WORLDS AND EDUCATION
http://www.cvwer.org/journal-of-virtual-worlds-and-education/
Description
This groundbreaking journal is the first to be devoted exclusively to the use of virtual worlds as education platforms, and is rich with research in this emerging field. The inaugural issue contains more than 200 pages of research on the pedagogical uses of virtual realities, featuring works by educators and scholars from around the world.
As we work on the second issue, we are excited and intrigued by the growth of virtual worlds and look forward to research into the educational use of Second Life, Open Sim, Blue Mars, Open Wonderland, Cobalt, Active Worlds, and others.
