“…Thus, to understand elderly people's user experiences, we applied the Game Experience Questionnaire (GEQ), which is widely accepted by researchers in game UX [29]. According to Norman [30], GEQ is a reasonable and applicable tool in investigating a player's experiences with a game. The author also stated that the GEQ questionnaire has been widely and successfully used in many studies.…”

Attitudes and motivation towards physical exercises play a vital role for elderly people's adherence to exercise. In recent years, digital games have been used to enhance elderly people's experiences in physical exercises. However, there is a limited number of studies regarding elderly people's attitudes and motivation towards digital gamebased exercises. In this study, we aim at investigating the Finnish elderly people's attitudes towards physical and digital game-based exercises, as well as their motivation in the gameplay. Furthermore, we intend to investigate if digital games can be an alternative way of exercising for elderly people. We conducted a user experience test of the "Skiing Game" with 21 elderly participants in Finland. We applied both qualitative (e.g. interview) and quantitative (e.g. questionnaires) methods to collect data from the participants. Then, we analyzed the data by using SPSS and Nvivo. The findings show that the Finnish elderly people's attitudes towards physical exercises are more positive than digital game-based exercises. However, their attitudes towards digital games have become more positive after the gameplay. Their in-game and post-game user experiences were moderately positive. Their motivation to play digital game-based exercises was moderately high after the gameplay. Their feedback towards the Skiing game was positive. They recommend that digital game-based exercises can be an effective way of exercising. Based on these findings, we recommend that digital games are promising to be used as an alternative way of exercising for the Finnish elderly people. The discussion in this study can help researchers gain insights about using digital games for promoting elderly people's participation in physical exercises.

“…The questionnaire was designed specifically to assess people's engagement with violent computer games, although the end result is similar in both content and format to the Game Experience Questionnaire. A comparison of the two questionnaires is presented in [30]. We note that presencethat is, the feeling of being in the fictional game world-may be a useful metric in its own right for game music, especially where the goal of the music system is to provide ambience.…”

Despite an emerging interest in the application of dynamic computer music systems to computer games, currently there are no commonly accepted approaches to empirically evaluating game music systems. In this paper we pose four questions that researchers could assess in order to evaluate different aspects of a game music system. They focus on the music's effect on the game playing experience (whether the music leads to a more enjoyable experience, and whether it affects the player in the intended way during the game), and how the music itself is perceived (whether it reaches a certain aesthetic standard, and whether it accurately conveys the intended narrative). We examine each of these questions in turn, for each one establishing a theoretical background as well as reviewing and comparing relevant research methodologies in order to show how it could be addressed in practice.

We present the design and preliminary results of the validation of the Player Experience Inventory (PXI). Based on the input of 64 experts in the field of playercomputer interaction, we designed and refined this new scale. Our scale is based on the MDA framework (and on Means-End theory, underlying MDA). The PXI incorporates two subscales, one with dimensions at the functional level (i.e., dynamics) and one at the psychosocial level (i.e., aesthetics). The initial results, via principal factor analysis, suggest the scale can be used accurately to evaluate player experience. This work is our first step towards presenting a new, validated survey instrument for player experience evaluation.
