Hello Player 1

Just in case you haven’t heard of it, the folks over at GameSpite.net have been putting out a quarterly print book all about games. Their writers have been consistently producing some of the best, most ‘grown up’ (for lack of a better phrase) writing about games out there today. I’ve been buying the books since Greg mentioned the first one in one of the 4cr staff emails, and I have read each one from cover to cover. If you’re looking for an entertaining, interesting look at video games, check ‘em out.
You can either buy the print versions or read them online, as the contents are slowly posted to the site. If you do decide to actually buy one, I highly recommend Issue 3. The books are well put together and definitely worthy of a purchase.

This sounds interesting.
If you want some more excellent ‘grown-up’ game writing, try gamasutra.com.

Yep, I’ve been buying them since Quarterly #1. I don’t think it’s let me down yet.
They’re all good pieces of work.

Thanks for the plug!
Simon, Gamasutra and Game Developer magazine are fantastic, but they’re aimed at developers and industry folks. GameSpite is more on the gamer side of things. Different creatures, in other words.
