Games Week at The Guardian

by The Acagamic

Everybody still search­ing for an excuse of the cul­tural impact or sig­nif­i­cance of games, will be delighted to hear that the guardian site has decided to have a whole week ded­i­cated to press cov­er­age of gam­ing. This spe­cial includes a tech weekly gam­ing related pod­cast, an over-the-top state­ment piece from acclaimed MUD god­fa­ther Richard Bartle (Quote: “they” [the gamers] “aren’t psy­cho­pathic killers, and they resent those bone­heads – that’s you – who imply that they are addicted and are psy­cho­pathic killers”), a nice snip­pet about Sony’s London Studio and of course not miss­ing the gigan­tic release of Grand Theft Auto IV this week. Yes, GTA IV will again pro­voke pub­lic debate about gam­ing, let’s hope this time around, we will get some insight­ful reflections.
