Sex in Video Games $33.49 Since the first computer games became available, sex has played a role in some form. But with the release of games like Playboy: The Mansion, Leisure Suit Larry, and The Singles, sexual content has gained a firm foothold and for the first time, ventured into the mainstream. Even casual games like The Sims have started to rev things up a bit, and in on-line games, tales of cybering have become commonplace. This sexual revolution in games has generated intense scrutiny of the games industry by political watchdog groups and family-oriented organizations. And it has brought the importance of self-regulation and rating systems to the forefront of the industry. Seeking to understand this emerging trend, developers, publishers, retailers, and consumers are asking themselves: When is sex appropriate in a game? How far is too far? What will it mean for the product? For its distribution? For my company? For me? Do games with sexual content sell better? Are they generally profitable? So far, there are no definitive answers to these questions. Sex in Video Games provides insight into this issue and presents guidelines and answers by studying the history of sexual content use in games and within the industry itself. In addition, the book considers ethical issues, parental and retailer responsibility, and explores industry attempts at self-regulation, along with a growing concern about potential censorship. |

Advergaming Companies $9.16 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Advergaming (a portmanteau of advertising and gaming) is the practice of using video games to advertise a product, organization or viewpoint. The term “advergames” was coined in January 2000 by Anthony Giallourakis, and later mentioned by Wired’s “Jargon Watch” column in 2001. It has been applied to various free online games commissioned by major companies. With the growth of the internet, advergames have proliferated, often becoming the most visited aspect of brand websites and becoming an integrated part of brand media planning in an increasingly fractured media environment. Advergames theoretically promote repeated traffic to websites and reinforce brands. Users choosing to register to be eligible for prizes can help marketers collect customer data. Gamers may also invite their friends to participate, which could assist promotion by word of mouth, or “viral marketing.” Games for advertising are sometimes classified as a type of serious game, as these games have a strong purpose other than pure entertainment. While other categories have been proposed, Advergaming normally falls into one of three categories which are derived from an historical categorization technique normally applied to traditional media: Chex Quest was the first CD-ROM advergame bundled for free with boxes of Chex cereal in 1996.Examples of ATL advergames include promotional software. In employing ATL advergaming, a company typically provides interactive games on its website in the hope that potential customers will be drawn to the game and spend more time on the website, or simply become more product aware. The games themselves usually feature the company’s products prominently (often as “powerups” or upgrades). These games may consist of reworked arcade classics or origi… More: |

Advertising 2.0 ensures that readers understand the advertising options possible in the Web 2.0 environment, provides examples of companies using these options, and offers guidelines for their application.Advertising 2.0 goes way beyond running banner ads on Web sites and explores the rapidly burgeoning world of social media marketing.

CPA Simplified $1 CPA Marketing is fun.I have to tell you – that particular unexpected side effect really caught me by surprise. Look – When I was first starting out I tried all sorts , Adsense was a little tricky until I got the hang of it, although I was never a master!But there was absolutely no emotional involvement.Cloaking affiliate links was, frankly, a pain – and confusing to learn. And affiliate marketing was a lot of work (and usually nothing more.)Oh I was very happy to promote products and people I sincerely believed in. But nothing about these forms of marketing would ever make me think of all that work as “fun”.But CPA Marketing is different. The closest way I can describe it……It’s sort of like playing one of those video games, where you collect the “jewels”. That best describes the feeling it gave me, when I first started seeing results.It’s gratifying to see something in return for what you’re doing. (Especially since, once you’re past your simple set up, you’re not even really “doing” it!)You see, when I accidentally got re-routed into CPA marketing, I discovered it was actually the easiest money-making form of internet marketing I’d tried yet!And you don’t feel like you’re doing back flips, promoting someone else’s work. (Because you’re not!)Let’s cut to the chase – what info do I have for you?I’ll show you how to… Join several CPA networks – and see how easy they make it for you to promote their well-streamlined and tested offers Learn how to pick and choose – both what you’ll promote, and which one-click method you can use.

Medical schools have used game-like simulators to train surgeons, reducing their error rate in practice by a factor of six. A recruiting game developed by the U.S. Army, for just 0.25% of the Army’s total advertising budget, has had more impact on new recruits than all other forms of Army advertising combined.
