The genre of digital games is not a fixed and invariable system, but a generative system of revisions and changes. The purpose of this study is to define a concept of alternative genre for digital games. The alternative genre of digital games should be presented in combinations of various genre elements and reflected the genre awareness of the user. In this context, user tags of the game transform the classical genre concept into a family resemblance based categorization and establish a user-driven bottom-up genre system. User tags as the form of alternative genre can spread the 'small' genre through multiplicity of genre elements and strengthen the communicative function of the genre.

본 연구는 기본적으로 현대 디지털 사회에서의 게임의 공간 문제를 장소론적으로 해석하려는 목적을 갖고 있다. 디지털 게임에서의 공간과 장소성은 인류학적으로 보는 관점과는 어떠한 공통점과 차이점이 있는지를 탐구하여 게임의 비장소의 공간들이 어떻게 구현되고 장소적 특성을 보이고 있는지를 살펴봄으로써 장소론적 입장에서 게임공간을 연구하였다. 디지털 게임공간의 장소성에 관한 연구는 디지털게임을 이해하는데 있어 기존의 '매체 지향적 논의'들과 '서사중심'의 파편적인 논의를 통합하는 계기를 제공하고 다양한 방향으로서의 연구 가능성을 제시할 수 있으리라 본다.

Digital games have become a major part of the modern popular culture, but little attention has been paid to understanding the textuality of games and what the game texts have the cultural meanings. As the games develop, however, the academic and journalistic game critiques and reviews that try to understand and to deconstruct the game texts are on the rise. This study explores how the game criticism characterizes the game texts, creates and shapes the understanding of games. The finding shows that game criticism is rich and varied in terms of themes and approaches covered, more generally, games criticism can also help preserve game history by focusing on the distinctive game textuality, forms and meanings, and by contextualizing the links and cultural meanings that exist between games and between games and the cultural context.
