Game Research: a multidisciplinary gaming site

Game Research attempts to bring together knowledge on computer games from the areas of art, business, and science. I like their cross-discipline approach to gaming.

This site presents short introductions to important areas of gaming issues and gaming research, and provides access to a database of links and references to literature. The “research articles” should be read with a bit of skepticism, as they are not in a peer-reviewed journal; however, they usually link to reliable sources, and the site itself provides links to the online academic journal Game Studies .

I also found their gaming dictionary useful, although it is rudimentary. Submissions by site visitors are encouraged, as is the posting of articles on gaming. It's a nice place to do a little research.
