Going against recent academic trends that analyze video games in a vacuum, this book considers video games as cultural artifacts. Using a cultural studies lens, Toscano addresses common themes in popular video games and identifies ways in which they reflect on the violent, sexist, and chauvinistic culture that produces and enjoys them.
