Evaluate the article
I would say this article is a detailed and complete page about the subject of game studies. The introductory passage is a good entry for those unfamiliar with the subject, and it gives a good background on the complete history of game studies in a brief section. All the sub-sections are well noted and divided; examples include social science, games and aging, cognitive benefits, game culture, etc. Some of the content appears out of date, although it mentions and game studies is a very new endeavor. There doesn't appear to be any bias in the article, although it points out bias in others, such as studies that concluded violent video games are linked to real-life violence.
