Contextual studies research into the fusion between books and video games

when I started this idea for my essay I wanted to show that its not all about video games giving to books all the times but that books can be taken into the future and give back to video games.

Device 6
is a game-book that is for the android or iPhone which has both a puzzle mystery which only uses words and sounds to both give clues to the reader and give an idea of the environment. this game is up for awards that tell me people are interested in the fusion of these different medias and the different routes this fusion can take.

Jesse Schell on video games in the future

Jesse Schell and his game company Amplify' are in the development of making a game called 'Lexica' where the player is in a library and is able to met characters from different novels and help them out in their tasks. Jesse Schell that its won't just be classic characters like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde but modern day characters like Harry Potter and with all these character to explore Jesse is hoping that it might intrigue the player to find out more by actually reading the book which won't be just for educational purposes but it can also help with tasks within the game; as the Reader would be more wise on how to answer certain characters for example. Even though this is an interesting concept as its not been released  yet there hasn't been more up-to-date news on the design or the challenges the player will face but overall this game idea would not just be an educational and fun game but has the chance to influence them to read more.
