Research in Modern Computer Games
In the world of computer science, combinatorial games (eg various
2-player board games) are reasonably well-studied. For the large
software projects most people refer to as computer games (Modern
Computer Games), scientific academic work has concentrated primarily
on graphics, and some artificial intelligence. There are, however,
many other aspects of modern computer games that are worth academic
exploration.
This page is a resource list for current research in modern computer
games. The focus is on academic work on computer games rather than
game construction per se. Work specifically and exclusively on
graphics and AI is not included. Note that some of the journals and
conferences seem to concentrate on artistic or cultural studies of
games; many however also consider computer science and/or
mathematical approaches.

Game Conferences
Many conferences, particularly AI conferences publish papers on
computer games. Here are some conferences dedicated to games per se.
Note that these links are not kept up-to-date year by year; for the
