Review Quotes: "This important new book provides evidence from a large scale learner-based study of the benefits of using a digital game in foreign language education. This comprehensive volume will doubtless become essential reading for educators, students and researchers in the fields of computer assisted language learning, game studies and the learning sciences." --Mark Peterson, Kyoto University, Japan
