  In recent decades, the intertwining of two different Western and Iranian-Islamic cultures has changed the perspective and style of our lives at home, in society, and in the educational system and has increased and decreased our propositions of comfort and tranquility.The role of the media has been undeniable in counting the influential indicators of our lifestyle. It should not be forgotten that the first link and starting point for most of children, adolescents, and young people to the media is computer games. Digital gaming is a full-fledged medium that engages the audience more than its competitors, such as books, movies, or music, because of its interactive nature, leading to the peak of happiness or the valley of misery for its user. This paper's research method is a qualitative method based on semiotics of cultural components of the Iranian-Islamic lifestyle in domestic computer games. The results of this research, which are presented in numerous tables, show that domestic computer games have not yet met the expectations of those audiences and players who were willing to comprehend the principles and values of Iranian-Islamic life through the available domestic computer games.

  This paper aims to investigate the role of dimension computer game in students’ achievement motivation as well as their mathematics achievement in relation to their background knowledge of English and mathematics. This study was a kind of quasi experimental research with pre-test and post-test with a control group. The statistical population included boy students in grade two of secondary school in Tehran city. Through cluster random sampling method, 87 have been selected and divided into two control and test groups. The research tools were researcher-made English test, mathematics test and mathematics achievement motivation questionnaire. The statistical method was block multiple variance analysis. The research results indicated that the computer game based method (dimension game for teaching equation and coordinate axes) with media of English and mathematics background knowledge can increase academic achievement. English background had no influence on the effect of dimension computer game on tendency motive. Computer game with medium of mathematics background knowledge can increase tendency motive. English background did not have any influence on the effect of dimension computer game on preventive motive either. Computer game with the medium of mathematics background knowledge, too, can increase preventive motive. Computer game based method with media of English and mathematics background knowledge can result in positive attitude towards mathematics. Therefore, we can conclude that emphasis on English and mathematics background knowledge as well as using educational computer games can lead to students’ academic achievement and mathematics achievement motivation.

The present article wants to answer the above question and it examines these games in two parts. First part is about battles in Islamic countries, the games which their story happens in Islamic countries. The second part is about future games, the games that are related to wars which happen in the near future. The methodology used in the paper is descriptive-analytical. The finding of the paper shows that these games help improve the soft power of the United States and could influence the audiences and change their way of thinking. Moreover, these games prepare the ground for implementation of the Western countries policies especially the United States one and try to legitimize those policies. Manuscript profile

  پژوهش حاضر به بررسی بومی سازی بازی های رایانه ای در نسخه های ترجمه فارسی پرداخته و همچنین استراتژی های به کار رفته توسط مترجمان ایرانی در بومی سازی بازی های رایانه ای را بررسی کرده است و همچنین ، کاستی های ترجمه را با توجه به بومی سازی نشان داده است. این تحقیق پنج بازی کامپیوتری را مورد بررسی قرار داده است و داده های این پروژه بر اساس مدل Tomaszkiewicz جمع آوری و بررسی شدند.  سپس داده ها توسط محقق جمع آوری شدند و با استفاده از نرم افزار اس پی اس اس پردازش شدند. داده های توصیفی شامل فراوانی، درصد، و میانگین بودند که توسط جداول و نمودارهای مربوطه نشان داده شده اند و سپس نمودار ها و جداول بطورکامل توسط محقق تفسیر و گزارش شده اند.  نتایج این تحقیق نشان داد که تفاوت بسیار برجسته ای بین فراوانی استراتژی ها وجود داشت. بعبارت دیگر، استراتژی ترجمه تحت الفظی بیشترین درصد فراوانی را به خود اختصاص داده است در حالیکه کمترین درصد فراوانی مربوط به استراتژی های "حذف" و "قرض گرفتن" بوده اند. با این وجود از استراتژی "جایگزین کردن اصطلاح فرهنگی با اصطلاح" اجتناب شده است از آنجایی که نمی تواند یک ترجمه طبیعی و قابل قبول را ارائه دهد.
