Game Research Lab

The Game Research Lab in the University of Tampere is a top facility for culturally and qualitatively oriented games research and part of its new media department, Hypermedia Laboratory. It provides both traditional and experimental means for examining games and players, together with the various cultural, social, and psychological aspects that are important in wider contexts of gaming.
