[game_edu] Journal of Game Development

[Mark Harmon]

I have heard of a couple peer-reviewed journals that cover games,
although they are not necessarily the primary focus.

Games and Culture:

Convergence:

Simulation & Gaming:

Yeah I am a bit curious about a -publisher- owning a peer reviewed
journal. I think they may need more academics involved but I'm not
sure how to encourage that.

Heh, by the way, I have no personal involvement in this. I was just
passing on the information.

Is this really the only full journal on the computer science end peer
reviewing game development papers?
