Andrzej Marczewski's Blog   Expert Blogs

A gamer for some 30 years and a lover of all things gamification for the last 2, I am amazed every day by how much is happening in these fields and enjoy feeling part of this. I blog on a weekly basis about Gamification, social media and other side topics. I write about video games on my games review website (Yet Another Review Site running since 2006) and in 2012 I also self published a short eBook on gamification – Gamification: A Simple Introduction.

I want to experience games not just play them.
Posted by Andrzej Marczewski on Mon, 20 May 2013 06:36:00 EDT in Design, Console/PC
