"Founded in 2006, the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab sets itself apart by emphasizing the creation of video game prototypes to demonstrate our research as a complement to traditional academic publishing. The goal of the monthly four part Research Video Podcast Series is to provide a rarely seen transparency of the research process here at GAMBIT. These video podcasts will serve to showcase our unique mission here to not only the games industry but to academics who still remain unclear as to the nature of video game theory, our particular methodology and the background of our researchers. Episode 1: DEFINING GAMBIT RESEARCH is a discussion amongst the GAMBIT Staff as to the nature of the GAMBITs particular methodology in regards to videogame and the state of videogame theory in general.
