		The term "video game" is often not considered to include computer games and coin-operated arcade games, both because historically the games in these three categories were very different, and also because the activity of playing these three types of games is different.
		Video games are made by developers, sometimes individuals, but almost always a team consisting of designers, graphic designers and other artists, programmerss, sound designers, musicians, and other technicians.
		Video games are very popular and the market has grown continuously since the end of the video game crash of 1983.

		From time to time, video games are criticized by some parents' groups, psychologists, and politicians for glorifying violence, cruelty, and crime, and exposing this violence to children.
		Racing games are one of the most traditional of computer game genres.

		But some observers say that a non-interactive video game presentation may not be stimulating enough for many gamers.
		Gaming "people overwhelmingly want to get to what they want to get -- compared to the number of people that want to just sit back and watch," says Ryan MacDonald, executive producer at GameSpot.com, a video game news site.
		Video game reviewer and consumer technology expert Marc Saltzman says the jury is still out on whether gamers will play into G4.

		Stores that primarily rent video and computer games are more likely to have policies preventing children younger than 17 from renting or buying games rated M compared to stores that primarily sell games (89 percent and 47 percent respectively).
		In a study of 387 12- to 16-year-olds, 20 percent were classified as currently addicted to playing computer-based video games, and one in four adolescents had been addicted at some point in their lives (Griffiths and Hunt, 1998).
		In our study of 607 8th and 9th graders, 20 percent of game players said they had felt like they were addicted to video games, 30 percent said their parents tell them they play video games too much, and 40 percent said they have friends they would call "addicted" to video games.

	Review: FIFA Soccer 2002 (GameCube) -- Gaming Voice
		Gaming Voice ratings are based on the technical and/or gameplay merits of a given product as well as the developer's choice of features and delivery of same.
		While control is the most important factor in a sports game, difficulty may be next in determining how valuable the game is. Most sports games feature a ridiculously easy beginner setting (as FIFA does) but most games make an extreme AI jump in the higher levels to make the game practically impossible.
		Graphically this game is an obvious port as it lacks the clarity of original Gamecube games, but FIFA still looks nice and runs smoothly.

	Coming up next: Ambushed on "Donahue"! - Salon
		I've been writing about video games for more than a decade, have testified before the Senate Commerce Committee and the Federal Communications Commission, have conducted workshops with game designers, spoken to PTA meetings and the American Library Association, and been interviewed by more reporters than I can count.
		90 percent of American boys play video games, so it's a pretty good bet that if the killer is an adolescent boy, they can find the proof that he was a gamer.
		Banning games doesn't put a stop to domestic violence, doesn't ensure that mentally unstable kids get the help they need, doesn't stop bullying in the hallways, and doesn't deal with the economic inequalities and racial tensions that are the real source of violence in American culture.

	Idaho Election 2002: Tribal Gaming Initiative
		The initiative was filed in response to the legislature's disapproval in 2001 of the compacts negotiated between Governor Kempthorne and the Nez Perce and Coeur d'Alene tribes.
		Those agreements formalized the use of video gambling machines used by the tribes and set out a policy for the future expansion of Indian gaming facilities on reservations.
		The initiative defines "tribal video gaming machines" as allowable in Idaho and allows for a 25 percent expansion in the number of those machines over 10 years.

	Gaming Illustrated - US Open 2002 review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
		US Open 2002 is one of the few Tennis games out for the PC platform, and comes from an up-and-coming company in Strategy First out of Montreal, Canada.
		US Open 2002 is a nice tennis game and perfect for gamers who love tennis and don't have a lot of experience playing video games.
		If you decide to play the game on the more difficult level of gameplay, the game definitely gets a lot more fun because of the challenge, but the sometimes failing control system will make you slap your forehead a few times, but not enough to make you wish you weren't playing.

		We considered every North American game released during the 2002 calendar year, and took into consideration our review scores for those games (especially our editors' choice award winners), how our perceptions of those games might have changed over time, and many other key factors.
		Notably, during this process we tended to give deference to games that were developed to take advantage of a given gaming platform's unique properties--all other things being equal, we preferred to honor those games that were released exclusively for a particular platform, rather than those that were ported to most or every gaming system.
		Last year might have marked the release of a few truly exceptional games such as Grand Theft Auto III for the PlayStation 2 and Halo for the Xbox, but this year, great games showed up in droves, and competition was fiercer than ever before.

	The Sports Gaming Network - NASCAR Racing 2002 Season (PC) Review
		There may be readers who have another one and want to know if it's worth buying NR 2002, or who are trying to decide which Nascar title should be their first.
		Unfortunately, at the beginning of a race, his annoying "green flag, green flag, green green green!" is still there from the older games in the series.
		Certainly you can capture the feel of each track and all the 2002 season tracks are in the game, with the addition of a fantasy track named Coca Cola where you reach speeds over 230 mph and where, I suppose, Jeff Gordon never wins.

		While the game's Omaha Beach level is derived from the opening of "Ryan," it's a fully interactive re-creation.
		And that could be a disaster for anyone who wants to see games evolve into a medium every bit as culturally relevant as movies or books.
		It is, of course, indisputable that the world of gaming is replete with titles that have little redeeming value, just as it is true for every other artistic medium.

		The Game Developers Conference gives game developers the unique opportunity of stepping away from their current projects for a couple of days to put their heads together and hash out the answers to these problems.
		Most designers agreed that to date many games have done a poor job of letting the user know up front what kind of world they were stepping into and how conflicts were to be handled.

	An update on the year's top gaming stories - Dec. 27, 2002

		The game not only looked good, it was a heck of a lot of fun.
		That was followed almost immediately by a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives that proposed making it a federal crime to sell or rent violent video games to anyone under 18.

		The necessity is to reignite demand for game consoles, a $9.4 billion industry.
		"If you're going to blow video games beyond the niche they're in, [online gaming] is it." What remains unspoken is that Xbox Live is also an effort to transform the console, which debuted a year ago, from an also-ran into a worthy competitor.
		Online gaming alone probably won't do the trick, though: Five years from now only 10% of households with game consoles -- a projected 4 million -- will use them to play on the Web, believes David Cole, president of interactive entertainment consultancy DFC Intelligence in San Diego.

	Miyamoto not impressed by online gaming - Mar. 6, 2002
		Nintendo's chief gaming architect is not one of them.
		Although PC gamers - and a lot of PC game publishers - swear it's the future of the industry, and Microsoft and Sony insist (though not as adamantly as they used to) that it's part of the plan for their gaming consoles, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto downplays the importance of gaming on the Internet.
		In taking that step back, though, the developer can't dictate the course of the game, meaning it might not be true to their vision.
