review 1: This is a great introduction to gamification, but it felt that it needs more dept at times. It starts with a somehow too wide explanation of why games are important in our lives and then gets into the elements and structure of games. The latter part of it - the explanation of the Game frame was the part that was interesting and probably most valuable. Overall - I think its a good read to get the basics of gamification and a start point into a more deep view of the subject.
review 2: This book is similar to Reality is Broken by Jane McGonical, and Dignan references her several times, although this book is a bit more structured. He gives a bit of information about the history/background of games and then gives a step-by-step way of developing a behavioral game, ... morecomplete with numerous examples. It was a pretty quick read and, I think, really useful. I can definitely use some of his strategies in teaching and I'm pretty sure these ideas could be implemented in lots of places. less
