Engaging and creative subject that explores video games from social, psychological, and technological angles. Discussions were lively and intellectually stimulating. David is very engaging and I love his approach to teaching. If you're creative you'll enjoy this subject.

goated subject. what a wam booster. didn't even attend most of the lectures but i found that the ones i did were good (not rly that important for ur assignments tho). find a good, productive group!!!!!!!!

Super interesting class! The lectures were always engaging, interactive and enjoyable.The 2 group assignments are pretty chill and fun, always collaborative, just make sure you find a good group! David was lovely, always willing to answer any questions. Also met so many different people from different degrees and courses, so was nice to make friends across disciplines. ALSO there are not really tutorials, just 2 (non compulsory) lectures a week. I would def recommend this subject, I didn't know anything about video games and still found it interesting and didn't struggle to keep up or anything. It's a really nice, relaxing and fun breadth (and at least in my case, was a wam booster).

Grade: H1 93. This is the easiest subject as long as you have some interest in video games. Stopped attending lectures and tutorials after 4 weeks of the same ramblings by David Shea. Truly an eccentric fella. Both assignments are easy and relatively short and the second one even allows you to develop further on the first. Only gripe is that they take the "remaking reality" part of the subject a bit too seriously. Like gaming is not that deep bro, chill. Acting like video games is such a profound medium that can change the world is off-putting to me. Comes off as such a cope

Get to meet some really cool people while taking the class. Extremely chill vibe although you may not really learn much if you already know about video games. Guest lecturers are where the subject shines content wise as they are given by already established individuals from different aspects in the industry. Assignments are straight forward and easy enough to do well in.

David Shea is a charismatic, knowledgeable tutor that truly has a passion for video games

Best subject in all of university. Not hard to get H1

David himself is relatively new to video games, so don't expect any deep insights or concepts about game development from him. His main area of expertise is music. He spent most of the time talking about weird interesting barely related topics. The guest lecturers he invited, however, were experienced and knowledgeable people in the industry, and are very happy to help out students who are proactive to ask questions. I got a H1 (80) by the way.

David (the tutor) is clearly extremely passionate about teaching a lot of game-related concepts making this subject pretty fun, however the marking scheme is entirely fucking bullshit. It should absolutely be a pass-fail subject, as the assessments are extremely vague and you receive marks for them both at the very end of the semester so you get no concept of how well you're doing or how to improve. This could be an amazing subject if it weren't for this totally unfair system and I'm left with regret for doing it as it's drastically bringing down my average subject score. As much as I'd like to, I definately won't be enlisting in arbitrary subjects like these ever again. It's one thing to get a bad mark and know it's your fault, but man do I really wish I could get that undeserving mark back. I feel like if I re-did the subject it'd be another dice roll to find what I got.
