Aesthetic Theory And The Video Game by David Kirkpatrick
A concise, theory-driven examination of video games as aesthetic objects, arguing that their mechanics, interactivity, visuals, sound, and narrative jointly produce distinctive forms of meaning and emotional response; it adapts and critiques traditional aesthetic frameworks to account for player agency, procedurality, and emergent behavior, offers analytic tools and case studies for reading games’ formal features, and considers cultural and ethical implications of game design, ultimately making the case that videogames demand their own critical vocabulary and methods within contemporary aesthetics.
