	Bulletin April/May 2006, From Game Studies to Bibliographic Gaming: Libraries Tap into the Video Game Culture
		In reality, the recent academic focus on “game studies” is actually a return to an educational examination of video games that began in the 1980s when personal computers and their pre-packaged games began to spread.
		Video game sales continue to grow, and as gaming becomes a permanent pastime for teenagers, public libraries in particular are realizing the need to re-examine the scope of their collections and services by looking at the gaming medium from a fresh perspective.
		Scholars in the field of game studies are well aware of the peripheral and accidental learning that goes on behind the scenes as a child, teenager or adult engages in an interactive video game.

	NBA Review for PSP - Gaming Age (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Reviewing a game like NBA on a brand new system, without a strong feeling of what’s possible on the platform can be difficult to say the least.
		It’s a decent game, by all means, but it falls short of being a great game in a few key areas.
		There are mini games as well including a skills challenge where you have to dribble through an obstacle course, passing the ball through various hoops and making different shots.

	Tap Dancing St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
		Tap dancing has been a mainstay of virtually every type of popular performing-arts entertainment in the United States, from minstrel shows to vaudeville, revues, extravaganzas, Broadway and Hollywood musicals, nightclubs, precision dance teams, and television variety programs.
		Tap routines figure prominently in children's dance recitals, as dance instruction is a popular enrichment activity for youngsters and many are too young for, or uninterested in, the serious discipline of ballet.
		Though some trace the roots of tap back to the ships that transported enslaved Africans to America (as the Africans' dancing was observed by the Europeans, and vice versa) the significant merging of the two dance traditions began on southern plantations.

	USATODAY.com - Fast beer tap maker markets home kits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The tap's extended nozzle is designed to pour beer faster than a conventional tap, and is headed for home use.
		Because the tap smooths the pouring process, there is a regulated amount of foam, a lot of which normally goes down the drain in the quest for the perfect head.
		Tiny wings inside the tap keep the fluid moving in a steady "laminar flow" — thus the company name — which allows beer to move more quickly through fatter tubes without causing excessive foaming.

	MobileTechReview.com Game Review: Walls & Balls for Pocket PC
		This will cause the ball to split into three, but the twist is that whenever one or two of the triad is missed, the remaining ball will clone itself to keep three in play at all times.
		The game is extremely flexible, and the control schemes are no exception.
		While some may say fast tap breaks the spirit of the game, I’m glad the developers decided to include it nonetheless.

	Gaming Illustrated - Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots Review (PC) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Please note that TAP is an expansion pack – you have to have the original RISE OF NATIONS to play it… so it is fairly obvious that essentially all of the computer interface and AI are going to be the same.
		With the TAP, there are a lot of additional Nations and Units – many of which I haven’t yet “played to” – recall our enthusiasm that you get a lot of value and playing time for your money with this game (something we appreciate).
		Frankly, I would advise beginners to adjust the GAME PLAY speed to its slowest, gradually increasing the speed… because it is nearly impossible to match the distributed processing that the Computer’s AI can achieve.

		For tap and drag, you simply drag the piece you want to move into the other gap, while in tap and drop, you tap the piece you want to move, and tap the gap where you want to move it.
		The game is simple enough for a child to play, yet addictive to adults as well.
