Abstract
This paper discusses opportunities and challenges related to the use of computer games for design creativity research and education. Two bodies of work were analysed: scientific papers published in design and creativity journals and commercial computer games available at Steam game platform. The qualitative analysis of the papers reviewed (n=21) uncovered the core issues and benefits verified by researchers when using games, as well as the main features employed. Data analysis from the games selected (n=68) enabled the identification of games genre, features and related aspects that contributed towards addressing current research limitations. The discussions contribute towards an increased awareness of possible uses of games for design and research education.

The current recommendation prototype on the Apollo Repository will be turned off on 03 February 2023. Although the pilot has been fruitful for both parties, the service provider IKVA is focusing on horizon scanning products and so the recommender service can no longer be supported. We recognise the importance of recommender services in supporting research discovery and are evaluating offerings from other service providers.
