Thus, the game is taken as an anthropological phenomenon, producing a new perspective of thinking created not only by the game, but also for all media related to computers (ubiquitous media). In this sense, the concepts of drama will be reviewed, especially the elements focused on dramatic play that takes place in the staging, and on game, moving to the reflections on the implementation of the non-virtual system of games to the virtual environment, and also the points of contact and of withdraw between them, namely, the character/avatar, particularly, with theoretical application to the selected games: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Fallout 3. / Tomando os videogames dos g?neros action-adventure e RPG (com elementos do g?nero shooter) como uma transposi??o da representa??o dram?tica (o role-playing), esta disserta??o de Mestrado prop?e-se a analisar o jogo virtual em computador e console como m?dia simulat?ria e forma contempor?nea de arte, engendrando um novo modelo poss?vel de recep??o da obra de arte, sendo o pr?prio jogo arte. Dessa forma, o jogo coloca-se como um fen?meno antropol?gico, produzindo uma nova perspectiva de pensamento criada n?o somente pelo videogame, mas tamb?m por todas as m?dias ligadas aos computadores (m?dias ub?quas). Nesse sentido, ser?o revistos os conceitos de drama, especialmente os elementos centrados no jogo dram?tico que se realiza na encena??o, e de jogo, passando para reflex?es sobre a transposi??o do sistema dos jogos n?o virtuais para o ambiente virtual, e, ainda, os pontos de contato e afastamento entre os dois, a saber, a de personagem/avatar particularmente, com aplica??o dos pressupostos te?ricos nos jogos de Lara Croft: Tomb Raider e Fallout 3.
