It is our aim to put in evidence the uneasiness of the art critic to talk about videogames, what we have called “ludectrophobia”. The prevailing critical silence calls attention to the position of videogames in the art world and simultaneously serves as a launching platform in tracing a critical argumentation of videogames based on manifestos and thesis that we found on the theme.porVideojogosCríticareviewArtejournal article2183-6981
