What can I learn?  What do I do?  What should I expect?  If these are the three essential questions in philosophy, that doesn't mean they aren't perfectly applicable to our normal relationship to videogames, which is deeply, though not at first glance obviously, tied tp current philosophical relfections.  And despite all this, the potential videogames have as a new hegemonic mode of expression has yet to be exploited in the field of philosophy.
To attempt to explain to us some of the more complicated currents of the relationship between videogames and philosophy, we have Álvaro Arbonés, the author of cultural and philosophy criticism blog The Sky Was Pink, in addition to several of the winners of the first-ever Ariel Best Young Essay Bloggers prize.  What can I learn from videogames?  What do I do with them?  What should I expect from the experience?  These are three possible questions that philosophy could answer regarding videogames: three questions rooted in complex, deep-digging problems that we have a vested interest in solving.
