 As chair of the International Game Developers Association’s Sex Special Interest Group, and with an impressive 21 published products under her belt including Playboy: The Mansion, Brenda Brathwaite brings a respectable package of experience to her latest book Sex In Games Video Games. This hard copy text book is an essential reference for any game makers considering the sex games market, and any teachers or researchers exploring the interrelationship between sex and games. Sex In Video Games provides a well-informed introduction to all aspects of this complex and challenging thematic unity.
Of most use to developers are the areas of the book strategising regulation, with Positive Inclusion and Self Regulation offered as solutions to the child's media / adult's content debate.
Teachers will also find an abundance of reference material with the collections of research results Brathwaite has made available for further discussion (for example a collection of interviews exploring culturally differing attitudes towards sex in games).
For academic researchers already exploring the area of sex in video games, the conceptual weight of the book may seem too light, however the abundance of interviews and other raw research materials make Brathwaite's Sex In Video Games an invaluable reference material.
