Article: Games as Playground and Space

This article discusses game environments from both a narratological perspective and - perhaps more interesting for us - a gameplay perspective. Among many things, the author discusses environmental affordances, and coins the expression 'Game Ego' to explain the part of the player that acts within the game on a motoric/sensory level. Throughout the whole article, the author exemplifies with games and draw comparisons to childs play, movies and novels.
