Abstract :This study aims to bring the tangible but difficult to define concept of a dynamic urban environment together with that of an intangible but real static virtuality and to create a new information and discussion medium by combining their inherent dynamic and static natures. To this end, video games containing virtual urban environments have been chosen as the domain of this study.A conclusion was then reached that video games, as a virtual medium, can be defined as urban environments because of their inclusion of elements pertaining to real environments.Keywords : Virtual city, Image, City, Video games
