  2005PreviousGames - Giants.com
Four games remain and the race is far from finished, but the victory puts the Giants in firm control of their division title and playoff destinies.
The Giants had three chances to win the game — three chances to take a one-game lead in the division race — but Jay Feely missed a 40-yard field goal attempt in overtime and tries of 54 and 45 yards in the extra period.
The Giants had six-takeaways — three interceptions and three fumble recoveries (one late in the game was actually a touchback because the ball hit the pylon) — their highest total since they had seven in a victory over Washington on Sept. 19, 2004.

 DiGRA 2005
Digital gaming's ability to generate a culture which immerses and absorbs its participants has made it an object of new millennial 'moral panic', widely threatening to those at its borders.
In a global context, digital games are both products and producers of collisions between traditionally disconnected cultural spheres: work and leisure, fact and fiction, home and away, education and entertainment.
As knowledge, information and skill development become increasingly accessible outside the confines of formal education and training, entertainment-oriented commercial gaming continues to advance by leaps and bounds in its ability to attract, sustain and keep players engaged and immersed through pleasurable play-based and voluntary activities.

 The Morning News - The 2005 Good Gift Games by Matthew Baldwin
Modern board games are created with adults in mind, especially designed to encourage interaction and friendly competition (i.e., the kind that doesn’t end when a player responds to losing Kamchatka by flinging the Risk board across the room).
The common problem with race games is that the winner is often obvious long before the contest ends, leaving players to glumly carry out their final turns without a hope in hell of winning.
Trading games typically don’t work with only two players—after all, you have only one person to negotiate with, and any deal your opponent extends or accepts is likely to be bad for you in the long run.
