During the COVID-19 pandemic, games played an important role in people's lives. Numerous online users flocked to the game platform, and brand companies started using online games to promote their products. Medical institutions have also implemented policies for healthy physical activity through online games. In order to attract more global game users, research on immersion in games is also very important to prevent users from leaving the platform. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the common immersion elements of popular games by country and study them from the perspective of changing devices. In this paper, representative popular games of Korea, China, and Japan, which are recently called the dark horse of the game industry, are classified by devices of mobile, online PCs, and VR games and analyzed using immersion analysis tools proposed by researcher. Next, the representative metaverse games of the Web 3.0 era were analyzed, and their characteristics were compared with the results of the immersion analysis between Korea, China, and Japan, and proposed as game immersion elements suitable for metabus games.

With the continuous development of the game field, the subdivision of game types is becoming more and more precise. There are also more and more games that draw on some achievements in other fields in their game design. Among them are meta-fiction games based on metafiction. This article will explore whether the combination of a meta-fiction game and a side-scrolling game with a unique visual experience is appropriate. If the side-scrolling game is the external form of the game, then the meta-fiction game is the internal content core of the game. The degree of fit between the external form and the internal core will undoubtedly determine the lower limit and upper limit of the game quality. Based on alienation theory, this article takes several highly rated side-scrolling games on the market as examples to conduct a theoretical analysis on the compatibility of side-scrolling games and metafiction games. The analysis results suggest that compared to first-person games, side-scrolling games with a unique third-person perspective have the best compatibility with meta-games.

Video games are an alternative channel for public health authorities constantly striving to reach target audiences and make positive changes. The objective of this research is to address effectiveness of health games as a health promotion technology for anti-smoking communication. This study tested the impact of advertising message types and voice-over relative to anti-smoking persuasion. By using commercial-level custom-made first person shooter (FPS) games, two experimental studies demonstrated usefulness of applying health games to change a player's attitude towards smoking. In particular, an interactive in-game message with a persuasive voice over was the most effective method to change targets' attitude towards smoking. Findings of our research offer meaningful insight on health promotion research and provide possible directions for future anti-smoking communication using health games.

The constructivism is an important stream of the recent trends of mathematics education. In order for students to construct their knowledge for themselves, above all, it should be a prerequisite that they participate in actively, Using games helps students to participate in learning mathematics actively. I think, up to now, mathematics teachers use games mainly for motivation and it does not connect to true learning mathematics through using games. So, the purposes of this study are developing the mathematical games connecting to mathematical contents closely, designing the teaching models to connect game activities to learning mathematics, and developing several teaching plans using games to mathematics class. In this study, I propose what conditions 'good' game should have, classify games as practice game, concept learning game, and strategy game, and develop 43 games from 1 to 6 grade. And I design the teaching models depending on the game types and develop the teaching plans.

AI blockchain technology, which is attracting attention as a core technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution, is a technology that can be used as an important means of innovation not only in the current gaming industry but also in various industrial fields. This paper extracts the platforms and types of blockchain games currently ranked within the top 100 on the blockchain app (DApp) sites State Of The DApps, DApp.com, and Dapp Rader and introduces the top games on major platforms. As a result of extracting platforms and types, the top games were mainly based on Ethereum, EOS, and Steam. However, the results showed that there are significantly more games based on the Ethereum platform, which are stable, easy to apply, and have a low barrier to entry due to the large number of users and DApps. We plan to improve awareness of blockchain games by studying the characteristics that only blockchain games have.

한국에서는 아직 가상현실 게임에 대한 연구는 활발하지 않은 편이다. 따라서, 본 연구는 가상현실 게임에 대한 대학생들의 인식, 가상현실 게임의 동기 요인들 및 가상현실 게임의 주요 특성들을 살펴보고자 한다. 본 연구는 가상현실 게임을 최근 경험한 대학생들 10명의 심층인터뷰를 바탕으로 구성되었으며, 연구 결과, 가상현실 게임을 즐긴 참여자들은 높은 가상 현실감, 몰입도 및 통제성을 느낀 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 요인들은 모바일, PC, 비디오 게임에서는 쉽게 나타나지 않는 특징들로 가상현실 게임의 변별적 특징으로 규정될 수 있다. 게이머의 재방문 의사에 미치는 요인들로는 가상현실게임에서 4D 효과, 다양한 가상현실 콘텐츠, 게임에서의 자유, 독특한 경험, 실재감, 긴장감, 액션 기반 경험, 그리고 그룹 게임 가능성 등이 있다. 본 연구결과, 가상현실 게임에서 주요한 특징인 몰입, 참여, 및 가상 존재감이 가상현실 게임 태도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 주요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 가상현실 게임 콘텐츠를 제작함에 있어 게이머들의 몰입, 참여, 가상 존재감을 높일 수 있는 장치들을 사전에 고려함으로써 소비자들의 만족도 제고에 노력해야 한다.

This study is an investigation of children's video and computer games usage. The respondents included 286 third and fourth grade children, of whom 152 were boys and 134 were girls. The participants were selected from a pair of elementary schools in Seoul. The instruments used consisted of children's self-reported computer game use and their evaluations of the video and computer games. I employed frequencies, percentiles, means, Chi-squares, 1-tests, one-way ANOVA, and the Scheffe Test. Ninety-five percent of the children interviewed reported having played video and computer games. Among these children, most reported that they played the games 2 to 3 times per week for 112 to 1 hour each time. The most common reasons given for playing was 'fun'. The most popularly played games included themes of action, adventure, violence, and competition. There was a significant gender difference in playing and usage. Boys played games longer than the girls. Boys played the games with their friends while the girls played the games with their siblings. Children who played these games longer perceived themselves to be faster, more attentive, and more stable than children who played for a shorter period of time.

2008 베이징 올림픽게임이 성황리에 막을 내렸다. 지난 세기동안 올림픽게임은 여러 방향에서 폭 넓게 주목을 받아왔다. 반면, 델픽게임은 거의 주목을 받지 못하였을 뿐 아니라 고대 델픽게임과 현대의 델픽게임에 관한 연구나 서적마저 거의 없다. 이 연구는 델픽게임을 학계에 알리고 소개하기 위하여 그 역사적 맥락과 의미, 행사의 내용 측면에서의 콘텐츠 성격 및 특성, 문화관광 측면에서의 비전에 관하여 논의 하였다.
