I miss your column -- if not the fits the NYT gave me trying to find it every other week. For what it's worth, of all the folks that have been axed at both the Times and the W Post (my local paper) lately I'll miss yours the most. <BR/><BR/>Best wishes and good luck going forward. I'll keep an eye on your blog and will look for your any future writing from you with interest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498062.post-34024283604975325392008-05-17T18:15:00.000-04:002008-05-17T18:15:00.000-04:00Not to mention once most game columns stop soundin...Not to mention once most game columns stop sounding like reviews for mp3 players! I worry that this won't even change with the gamer generation, unless the industry starts giving narrative the same attention as gameplay. Hard to do when most games are penned by programmers or technical writers.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074161293948883832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498062.post-48752136810312859382008-05-17T01:13:00.000-04:002008-05-17T01:13:00.000-04:00The question of where to put video game reviews se...The question of where to put video game reviews seems to be an issue in a lot of newspapers. It can wind up in tech, business or arts depending on who is making the decisions. The real issue is the people in charge are generally not gamers, and usually not of the gaming generation, so they don't see how video games are closer to movies than to MP3 players. This will change as the gaming generation begins to take over.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04343869580416843625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498062.post-24773050256067695442008-05-16T21:01:00.000-04:002008-05-16T21:01:00.000-04:00Sorry to hear about your bad luck, Charles.

Do you think this is an ideological debate between editors, not knowing whether to categorize gaming as business or art? Or does it have more to do with the exigencies of publishing?<BR/><BR/>Regardless, your reviews are a bright spot in a dismal review industry. Hopefully we'll have a chance to hear your thoughts on game storytelling soon.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03074161293948883832noreply@blogger.com
