Descriptions, Reviews, etc.

Description: Simulating Good and Evil shows that the moral panic surrounding violent videogames is deeply misguided, and often politically motivated, but that games are nevertheless morally important. Videogames should be seen as spaces in which players may experiment with moral reasoning strategies without inflicting real harm.

Review Quotes: "A thoughtful and challenging read. Schulzke leaves no stone unturned as he asks us to consider what values we bring to games with as players, consumers, and enthusiasts."
--Aaron Trammell "Editor-in-Chief of Analog Game Studies"
