Take a deep dive into gaming history

Do you love playing video games and want to take a deep dive into where they come from and how they are developed? Learning the history of popular games will not only increase your love of games but also your appreciation for the work that goes into their development.

In this History of Games XSeries program, you will explore over 5,000 years of gaming history. The program provides a historical and analytical approach to the evolution of game design, including how game design has been shaped by cultures and societies around the world, from board games to video game consoles, and the impact that games have had on how people play, learn and connect with each other today.

This program is based on the Game Design and VFX School at our LaSalle College Vancouver campus, which has been crowned the #1 undergraduate school in Canada for video game design by the Princeton Review 10 years in a row.

With this newfound understanding of the evolution of games, you can begin to make choices about what design elements you might want to include in your own video games.
