 The Game, the Player, the World: Looking for a Heart of Gameness
As a player you agree to be happy if you win the game, unhappy if you loose the game.
Player effort is another way of stating that games are challenging, or that games contain a conflict, or that games are "interactive".
As such, attachment of the player to the outcome is a less formal category than the previous ones in that it depends on the player's attitude towards the game; it is part of what we may term the "game contract" or lusory attitude (Suits, p.38-40) that the player agrees to by playing.

 Game Studies - When Seams Fall Apart - Video Game Space and the Player
Identification by the player with the player's position within the game space obviously functions differently based on the in-game point-of-view (as first-person, third-person and god-view games are perceptually different gaming experiences) and as based on the player's incorporation of the player-character into her imagined integral self.
Often the player position within the screen is referred to as the player-character, but the player presentation in game space is not always a player-character in the sense of being a character that has a position within the created game space.
The player does not become the gaze by being the player or the player-character; both are contained within the gaze and the gaze presumed by the game dominates the relationship because it is the structure of the relationship.

 The Player of Games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Belatedly, he discovers that his participation is part of a Culture plot to overthrow the corrupt and savage Empire, and that he, the player, was in fact a pawn in a larger game.
The Player of Games (ISBN 1857231465) is a science fiction novel by Iain M. Banks, and the second published to feature the Culture, his fictional utopian society.
The game itself is sufficiently subtle and complex that a player's tactics come to reflect their own political and philosophical outlook.

 Digital audio player - encyclopedia article about Digital audio player.
Devices such as CD players can be connected to digital audio players (using the USB port) in order to directly play music from the memory of the player without the use of a computer.
Such players are generally integrated into USB keydrives.
Modular keydrive players are composed of two parts: the head (or reader/writer) and the body (the memory).

 GameDev.net - The Interface Part I : Mapping the Player
The PGI has to map the thought input of the player to the game language, which is comprised of the game's manipulation rules, in a way that gives the player a feeling of familiarity and has a small conversion overhead.
For the first Part of this series, I'll only talk about the Player to Game Interface, which defines how the player interacts with the game, not the information feedback provided by the game using the Game to Player Interface.
Do not tear the player completely away from the game with fullscreen interfaces (especially in real time games!), since he loses complete control over the actions and will always be hectic to leave the menu again.

As this is the entry point for the player into your world, this needs to be easy to understand for everyone without any prior knowledge of the game universe on one hand, and give a good introduction to your world so the player can become comfortable with the new environment on the other.
As the previous article was about how the player should be able to interact with the game, this part covers how the game talks back to the player, feeding him with the necessary information.
But nevertheless, additional information, especially in more complex games like strategy titles, may be required to give the player a better overview of events and current stats.

 :: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: The Player (xhtml)
Robert Altman's "The Player," which tells Griffin's story with a cold sardonic glee, is a movie about today's Hollywood -- hilarious and heartless in about equal measure, and often at the same time.
"The Player" opens with a very long continuous shot that is quite a technical achievement, yes, but also works in another way, to summarize Hollywood's state of mind in the early 1990s.
Watching "The Player," we want to despise Griffin Mill, but we can't quite manage that.

Although it is not too scathing, "The Player" is one of the darkest and most hilarious satires on Hollywood too ever be made into a film.
This sort of thing occurs many times in "The Player," usually not as bluntly as this first example, meaning that you have to put your thinking cap on to fully take it in.
Again, "The Player" succeeds in having more ironic and intelligent references to itself than any other film I have ever seen.

Writing before The Player, Michael Wood noted the irony of so many cautionary tales: "All the film's real energies come to it from the myth it sets out to criticize, and it ends up not as a correction of the myth but as another fine instance of it" (Wood, 1975: 95).
The Player examines the question of what kinds of stories get told in films.
