The academic journal I choose to look into more was the Games Studies, who define their purpose as shining light onto games and gaming. Although they say they welcome all types of games, they focus mainly on computer games. While I was reading through I archives, I found many theories on the general ideas of games as well as specific games such as Pokémon Go. Out of the 10 journal entries I read, eight of them had abstractions. On the other hand, all of them gave credit to their author’s on the left side, as well as background on their qualifications giving a very creditable feel.

Originally, I choose my major of computer science hoping to enter the gaming industry. Although my passion for working at a gaming company has decreased, I still enjoy games and what they are all about, so to me the journal had interesting concepts. The journal had many interesting entries and ideas, but the overall appearance of the site and articles are boring. Some did make use of visuals, but there was still an overwhelming amount of text to read comparatively. As far as navigating the journal, because of its basic design it is easy to find what you want. The only part where I became confused was knowing what volume of the journal I was in, since the only change from volume is in the right hand corner.
