Violence and Women in Gaming
Smart Computing's PC Gaming & electronic entertainment Guide contains two very insightful articles. The first deals with violence in computer games. This article deals with rating issues. Making sure that proper ratings are given to the different games. It also explores the fact that games rated for adults are getting in the hands of kids. The author is concerned with what can the game companies do about this besides rating the games
The second article deals with women in gaming. It explores what women want out of a game and mentions several women that hold very important positions in the game industry.
The magazine can be found in Barnes & Noble. Unfortunately, it is one of the very few game magazines that contain articles about game related issues. Most of the other magazines rate games and are more of a "how to play" guide.
