Video-Game Journalism: A Joke

I found this interesting little article: Video-Game Journalism: A Joke

What particularly interested me was the snide comment 'published literature about games about games surely you jest'.

Firmly at the core of my passion for gaming is a deep rooted belief in the emotion games can evoke. I can not see why games are regarded as second rate media. Plots in games can be as involving and evocative as any cinema release or book published. Characters are deep and there is a genuine capacity to care for these computer generated images. Landscapes are breathless and limitless. What is the difference say, between Avatar and Gears of War? The interactive element? Surely that makes the medium more involving and adds interesting dimensions? Can it be said then, that video games are in fact a higher medium of entertainment?

One day, I will write a book about this sort of thing. Now that would be published literature about games.
