The sensory richness of VR experiences, coupled with intuitive motion controls, has redefined how players engage with games, blurring the boundaries between the digital realm and the physical world.</p><p>This research investigates the potential of mobile games as tools for political engagement and civic education, focusing on how game mechanics can be used to teach democratic values, political participation, and social activism. The study compares gamified civic education games across different cultures and political systems, analyzing their effectiveness in fostering political literacy, voter participation, and civic responsibility. By applying frameworks from political science and education theory, the paper assesses the impact of mobile games on shaping young people's political beliefs and behaviors, while also examining the ethical implications of using games for political socialization.</p><p>This study explores the integration of augmented reality (AR) technologies in mobile games, examining how AR enhances user engagement and immersion. It discusses technical challenges, user acceptance, and the future potential of AR in mobile gaming.</p><p>This research investigates how mobile games contribute to the transhumanist imagination by exploring themes of human enhancement and augmented reality (AR). The study examines how mobile AR games, such as Pokémon Go, offer new forms of interaction between players and their physical environments, effectively blurring the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds. Drawing on transhumanist philosophy and media theory, the paper explores the implications of AR technology for redefining human perception, cognition, and embodiment. It also addresses ethical concerns related to the over-reliance on AR technologies and the potential for social disconnection.</p><p>This research examines how mobile games facilitate the creation and exploration of digital identities through avatars and personalized in-game experiences. The study investigates the psychological and sociocultural effects of avatar customization, including how players express aspects of their personality, race, gender, and social identity in virtual environments. Drawing on theories of identity formation, social psychology, and media studies, the paper explores how mobile games can influence players' self-concept, self-esteem, and social interactions both within and outside of game worlds. The research also addresses the ethical implications of identity representation in games, particularly with regard to inclusivity and the reinforcement of social stereotypes.</p> <p> <a
