What is a social game? - Games Brief
Social games were the flavour of 2010 and look likely to continue to be the flavour of 2011. But what exactly is a social game, and why is it so special?. My definition of a social game is a game that has a very gentle learning curve, easy-to-understand UI, and lives on a social network, taking advantage of your friendships in meaningful ways within the game. We’re at the beginning of this style of game, and we’re learning so much at a breakneck pace about the play patterns and desires of the largest gaming segment any game designers have addressed, and it’s very exciting. These games are predominantly free-to-play and employ microtransactions as a business model, which presents very interesting challenges for game designers.

[Just what will the achievementization of the world mean? Author and game designer Ian Bogost ponders Jesse Schell's DICE talk and blends his interpretation with research. Will it work... and, more importantly, is it good?] In a widely disseminated talk at DICE last month, Carnegie Mellon University Entertainment Technology Center professor Jesse Schell made a provocation: can game-like external rewards make people lead better lives? To answer the question, Schell explored hypothetical scenarios that might combine awards of Xbox Achievements-like scrip with emerging sensor networks that would track our everyday behaviors.

Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World: Amazon.co.uk: Jane McGonigal: Books
'If the world of gaming seems alien to you, this book will crack it wide open. For experienced gamers, it will likely inspire you to play - or even invent - better more meaningful games. Despite her expertise, McGonigal's book is never overly technical, and as with a good computer game, anyone, regardless of gaming experience, is likely to get sucked in.' --New Scientist `An intriguing and thought-provoking book.
Game guru Jane McGonigal says “gamification” should make tasks hard, not easy | VentureBeat
Gamification, or making a non-game application more engaging by making it game-like, should not make tasks easy for the people undertaking them. It should make them harder, says Jane McGonigal, game research director of the Institute for Future and author of a new book on gamification, “Reality is Broken: Why games make us better and how they can change the world” . McGonigal says Web site owners — including those of major corporations — should make tasks challenging, so that the sense of achievement upon completing them is greater. The assertion is related to McGonigal’s definition of a game, which she talked about at the Gamification Summit today in San Francisco. She said that “games are unnecessary obstacles that we volunteer to tackle.” When people play games, they are trying to achieve a feeling of “eustress,” a kind of positive stress that motivates us to perform our best, she said.Par Rémi Sussan le 30/03/10 | 13 commentaires | 3,293 lectures | Impression Agon, le conflit : c’est l’une des quatre catégories employées par l’écrivain Roger Caillois (en compagnie de Alea, le hasard ; Mimicry, le faire semblant ; Ilinx, le vertige) dans sa classification des jeux pour spécifier leur nature.

Par Hubert Guillaud le 16/02/11 | 5 commentaires | 3,214 lectures | Impression La gamification ( Wikipédia , que certains traduisent par “ludification”), c’est l’idée que les règles et techniques de jeux peuvent être transférées dans d’autres domaines, rappelle Nicolas Nova, l’un des organisateurs de la conférence Lift qui se tenait il y a peu à Genève. Ce qui n’est pas sans limites… ni critiques. La vérité sur la gamification Si l’enfer avait été gamifié, cela donnerait un jeu de Tetris avec un fond rond pour aligner des pièces rectangulaires, s’amuse Steffen Walz , directeur du Laboratoire du jeu et de la gamification (GEELab) de l’Institut de technologie royale de Melbourne, auteur de Space Time Play et consultant dans le secteur du jeu.

I like neologisms. We need new words because we have new ideas, and ideas are the only things that break the law of the conservation of energy. Where once there was nothing there now is something , and the history of the neologism is a history of those moments of pure creation. ‘Gamification’, that said, can go take a long walk off a short pier. I’m heartened beyond measure to see that it’s been deleted from Wikipedia .
