http://lp.noe-kaleidoscope.org/outcomes/litrev/
In his review of literature reviews
John Kirriemuir, Groundhog Day for Games in Learning
http://www.digra.org/hardcore/hc13/
Kirriemuir likens literature reviews to the movie Ground Hog Day. He says "The relatively small amount of genuine and novel research in the field – to date – results in substantial duplication of content, references and discussion ... Unless there is analysis of the literature ... then it doesn’t add anything new to the knowledge base."
As Kirriemuir might predict, there are 2 1/2 pages describing the industry. "Providing an “introduction to games” results in a load of flannel that can be read in any of 10,000 other media. Text such as “Many people now own a Playstation 2, which is made by
Sony yadda yadda yadda” dates horribly."
