Abstract

By the 20th century, with the swift development in digital technology such as computer, network and multimedia, digital games have created an enormous social impact on all aspects of the community. Evolving from the initial simple means of entertainment to an interactive media visual culture, it would have more significant impact on human culture. Given its new form of technology-based representation, we need to examine it from a new horizon accordingly. This paper aims to articulate the cultural characteristics of digital games from three aspects, mass media, mass culture, international communication.
