Your's is the most comprehensive article on game genre. I am a Ph.D student at DePaul University's school of Computer and Digital Media (department- Information Systems). I could really use your inputs on a topic that I am struggling with right now. My initial area of research was Personality and Game Genre (essentially creating a personality profile based on various game genre). Since I could not find a well developed genre scheme for games, my advisor has suggested that I switch my topic to " developing a game genre by using the lexical approcah (i.e. creating a dictionary of all words related to describing games . A similar approach was used in personality study) I wanted to check with you about two things. 1. As an expert in this field, do you think a 'lexical approach' is a viable approach to study game genre? 2. Is 'game genre' a worthwhile topic to pursue. ( Is there enough demand in the industry/academia) for a genre study. Thanks for your website and your dissertation. It is very helpful and I refer to it a lot.

Like to know your opinion what are the factors that determine how players "read" games. Do they walk away with the message the game designer want them to take away or do they "read" the game differently to what the designer have in mind? Hope you could email me your respond. Regards Hi
