Robbins, M. Brandon. “Puzzle It out.” Library Journal, vol. 141, no. 7, 15 Apr. 2016, p. 60. EBSCOhost, proxy-wcupa.klnpa.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=114555334&site=ehost-live&scope=site.
As far as academic research goes, this article felt pretty lacking. There wasn’t any research cited to help further the point of the article or establish any credibility. The writing wasn’t even that in depth and took most aspects of the game at face value. The article overall felt like it was written as an editorial piece in a newspaper. After re-reading the article for the third or fourth time, I felt a little bad about myself for enjoying it so much on the first read because it doesn’t really have much to offer. I still think the article made some successful points about the game it mentioned. I think it was successful in bringing the sense of a puzzle being hidden within a first person shooter game to light by providing examples and descriptions of the game-play. The article still needs to cite some academic, peer-reviewed research to gain any credibility regarding these points.
