Un comic pour Batman Arkham City
Batman: Arkham Asylum a été l’un des plus grands succès vidéoludiques de l’année 2009 et a même reçu un Guinness World Record du « Jeu de superhéros le mieux reçu par la critique de tous les temps ». Au mois de mai prochain, découvrez les événements qui se sont déroulés entre Batman: Arkham Asylum et la suite très attendue BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY dans une mini-série de six épisodes qui fait le lien entre les deux jeux et amène l’histoire du 2e opus, dont la sortie est prévue à l’automne.

DIY Media 2010: Video and Gaming Culture
This is the fifth in an ongoing series of curated selections of DIY Video prepared in relation to the screening of DIY Video 2010 at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and organized by Mimi Ito, Steve Anderson, and the good folks at the Institute for Multimedia Literacy. The following is the curator’s statement from Matteo Bittanti, a Social Science Research Associate at Stanford Humanities Lab. I have always been fascinated by the tension between different forms of cultural productions, by the ongoing diatribe between the artistic nature of gaming, which to me has much more to do with the notion of gaming as a set of practices rather than gaming as a specific set of artifacts. That is: I am more interested in understanding the broad range of gaming performances by different social players than defining/defending a canon.
