Got Game?

Hylton Jolliffe writes "Hey, thought you might like a new blog we've just launched on gaming by RIT professor Andrew Phelps. He's going to be writing about a whole host of things: the gaming industry, the rapidly expanding user base, the role of gaming in the entertainment/media spectrum, the technology and standards that undergird today's games, the emerging social phenomena surrounding them, the future of wireless gaming, the study of gaming in academia, blah, blah, blah. Neat stuff and Andy's already in full stride - see this as a possible starting point."

other gaming blogs/sites of interest

[bigbigbison]

There is a growing number of other sites that have the same goals in mind. here are a few of the one's I visit pretty regularly:
Probably my favorite is Gonzalo Frasca's Ludology.org [ludology.org].
Also occasionally of interest is Lars Konzack's Ludologica [blogspot.com]
Greg Costikyan's Games * Design * Art * Culture [costik.com] has gotten a fairly good amount of press.
and to toot my own horn, there is my blog Popular Culture Gaming [popularculturegaming.tk].
