This issue of the Entertainment Computing Journal contains papers presented at the International Conference on Entertainment Computing ? ICEC 2009. ICEC 2009 was held in Paris in September and we received 105 submissions. For this journal, we selected the 10 best papers and asked the authors if they agree to submit an augmented and enhanced version of their work. After a review of the revised versions, we had five papers left. One common aspect of this selection and, more generally, from the submission to ICEC, is probably an analysis between psychological and design aspects.
