Video Gaming Trends for Librarians
Public
Do you know your FPS from your RPG? How about your Sandbox from your MMORPG? Learn about video game trends beyond Guitar Hero and Wii Bowling. I am a librarian with a long history as a video gamer on hand-helds, PCs and consoles. I started this twine to collect interesting news and trends in video games that librarians can use to better serve their patrons.
