Gamification

Video Games

This week, Luke is away but Kev soldiers on with Archer and Meags, along with newbie Jono to discuss all things Gamification! What is Gamification? Well, it’s the use of game thinking and game mechanics in non-game contexts to engage users in solving problems and increase users’ self contributions. Fitness, education, banking and now even safe driving have all been gamified so the team today explores this topic and how it works!

The big topics of the week are of course discussed, with news about a big change in Microsoft, amiibos getting some more love, Hyrule Warriors costumes, Halo 5 multiplayer madness and Sony saying a big ‘sorry’ regarding the PSN outage, giving some great benefits for its customers! Tune in to get all the info!
