Because of the characteristics of game software, it is important to quickly identify and reflect users' needs into game software after its launch. However, most sites such as the Google Play Store, where users can download games and post reviews, provide only very limited and ambiguous classification categories for game reviews. Therefore, in this paper, we develop an automatic classification system for game reviews that categorizes reviews into categories that are clearer and more useful for game providers. The developed system converts words in reviews into vectors using word2vec, which is a representative word embedding model, and classifies reviews into the most relevant categories by measuring the similarity between those vectors and each category. Especially, in order to choose the best similarity measure that directly affects the classification performance of the system, we have compared the performance of three representative similarity measures, the Euclidean similarity, cosine similarity, and the extended Jaccard similarity, in a real environment. Furthermore, to allow a review to be classified into multiple categories, we use a threshold-based multi-category classification method. Through experiments on real reviews collected from Google Play Store, we have confirmed that the system achieved up to 95% accuracy.

This paper proposes a novel method for Game character classification based on texture and edge orientation feature. The character dose not move(NPC) and move the character is classified. Classification of property within the character of straight line segments are used to extract features. First, the character inside edge feature extraction and then calculates EEDH, SSPD. The extracted attribute represents the energy of a particular direction. Thus, these properties were used to classify of NPC and Monster. The proposed method, the user can reduce the unnecessary time in the game.

The recent growth of smartphone users and high speed network has fueled the expansion of the market for mobile application. Among these applications with various purposes, smartphone games are the hottest contents on this market. Smartphone games are far different from former games due to their new input and output interface (e.g. touch sensors and gyro sensors).It is possible that the most resonable way to categorize these new smartphone games is comparisons of different objects, in this case, various smarphone games. But there exists no classification of the games neither for the use of the market nor the purpose of researches. Even though there are few classifications for games, those classifications have a major flaw that their criteria are derived from superficial features of games. In this paper, we propose a new method to categorize smartphone games through game mechanics of principal design components.

Classifying digital games' genres is quite ambiguous work, as they have been using other media's genre classification such as film genre. Therefore this paper tries to propose a new way of classifying genres of digital games. There are two kinds of approaches to digital games genres: one is based on gamers' activities and the other is on game text. The former turned out to be limitative because the meanings of gamers' activities are sometimes overlapped and this overlapping causes lack of objectivity in deciding which activity belongs to which genre. On the other hand, the latter is comparatively clear and accurate as it is based on what a game text provides. After all. a new classification of digital games based on game text makes total of 7 digital game types, which are Physical obstacles, Mainly Physical & partially intellectual obstacles, Intellectual obstacles, Mainly intellectual & partially physical obstacles, Self-supporting games, Confronting games, Ranking games, and each type has its own convention and characteristics.

This study aims to investigate the transition of the game rating system in Korea and to search for problems and improvement measures in the era of IARC game grade review. IARC(International Age Rating Coalition) is an International Classification Alliance, with 37 member organizations from 6 countries. In addition, IARC grants participating store-fronts autonomy to review game ratings. The method of deliberating games in Korea is proceeding with direct review by rating system and deliberation by IARC's own classification system. The problem of the rating system of the game is that the civilian becomes the subject, it relies on the questionnaire, and its side effects are caused by its own classification system. IARC guidelines can be developed to improve the game rating system, education on penalties and ratings for game developers, and management of participating front-stores. In conclusion, it may be dangerous to delegate rating authority to open market, and it is necessary to construct a discussion forum for ratings, including government and industry, game developers, users, and parents of under-age gamers. It is necessary to create a rating system for the game environment in Korea.

The purpose of this paper is to study and suggest a new classification method of the medical serious games which take the second major part of serious games after the educational games. Based on the classification suggested, various possibilities of medical serious games are suggested. Especially, how movement based language and contents can be used on various kind of medical serious games such as rehabilitation and cognitive behavioral therapy is explored.

In this paper, we developed the device for an interactive game interface using bio signals which were able to recognize user's motion intention using EMG signals and it was applied to the games which need the information of the muscle motion directions. The module for acquiring EMG signals consists of 4-Ch, wrist-motions were defined as up, right, down and left state. The user's intent was recognized through thresholding and comparing signals of each channel. The classification result of the motion directions could control the arrow keys on the keyboard of PC and it was applied on the various games. This proposed game device can be expected to induce an effective exercise with an interesting and enjoyment, and it can use both self-developed or commercial games.

This study analyzes the attitudes of users who use the automatic-play function of mobile-games. It also observes changes in different emotions to enjoyment. For the analysis, the Q methodology appropriate for the subjectivity study was used, and it classified two types of attitudes based on the analysis. After the classification, it defined the characteristic of each type based on Lazzaro's theory on classification of fun. Types with high rate of convenience feature dependency utilize automatic-play feature to play games for collecting and growth, and they prefer managing the game outdoors. Another type enjoyed the experience of problem solving through games. They want the process to be a good skill to possess in game-play. There was also a tendency to perceive oneself as the game's character. Both types were responded positively to using automatic-play to play mobile-games. This is expected to be used as important data for game production, leading to usability evaluation for analyzing the emotional sensitivity of mobile game users.

Based on the love styles theory used in psychology, this paper classifies users(Passionate Love, Game-playing Love, Friendship Love, Practical Love, Possessive Love, Altruistic Love) and investigates satisfaction with the motivation for using TikTok love videos(Entertainment, Social Relationship, Love skills-learning, Self-verification, Problem-solving) according to the theory of use and satisfaction. First, 414 users were selected to conduct TikTok surveys to collect data. Then, through the analysis of the research results, among the six love types, game-playing type and possessive type have a positive (+) impact on entertainment motivation and love skill-learning motivation. Game-playing type also have a positive (+) impact on social relationship motivation and self-verification motivation. In addition, altruistic type and possessive type are also factors to strengthen the motivation of self-verification. The altruistic type, possessive type and practical type will improve the problem-solving motivation. Finally, through hierarchial multiple regression analysis, it is confirmed that game-playing love type, entertainment motivation, love skill-learning motivation and self-verification motivation can improve user satisfaction. The above results enrich the research of user classification as well as providing inspiration for improving the quality and communication efficiency of TikTok's video and enhancing user experience.
