Wii Warm Up: It's up for debate
This morning discussion topic is presented thanks to a grant from DS Fanboy. In all seriousness, we love doing our Point/Counterpoint feature.

Point/Counterpoint: Guitar Hero: On Tour
Welcome to Point/Counterpoint, in which two DS Fanboy bloggers get into a verbal slap-fight over a divisive topic in the field of DS gaming. Few DS-related topics are more divisive right now than Guitar Hero: On Tour. Activision and Vicarious Visions have tried to cram the experience of one of ...
Point: Why Guitar Hero: On Tour could rock out
Guitar Hero: On Tour is a weird product.

Counterpoint: In defense of Wii Play

New book seeks to clear up game violence debate
It's not hard to find studies and media reports both for and against the damning effects of video game violence on children, but a new book coming out in April seems to be attempting to forge a new, more reasonable middle ground in the debate. Grand Theft Childhood is based on a June 2007 study in ...
Today's most stylistic video: "video game" vs. "videogame"
It's a debate that's at least as old as our 2005 poll on the subject (which ended in a statistical dead heat) -- should the term "video game" be one word or two. Copy editors, designers, and journalists have all weighed in on the subject (as well as a certain book author and blogger). Now, finally, ...
