Website of the Week: GamePolitics

Video games have either been praised or targeted by politicians since the dawn of the industry. Some politicians applaud the game industry while others try to legislate against it. Although most gamers say that politicians need to ignore the issue, I say the issue can't be ignored.

Game sites report on political stories surrounding games, but one site is dedicated to the matter of the political side of games: GamePolitics.com

The editor and creator is Dennis McCauley, a games columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer. His site has been praised by various news outlets and cited by watchdog groups. Dennis McCauley has also been featured in Next Generation's 50 most influential game journalists.

GamePolitics features stories about game legislation, the perception of games in the mainstream media, watchdog groups, and game charities among others. This site also broke the story of the infamous Hot Coffee mod in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. This site also allows the readers to post relpies to the stories (my post name is Buckeye 531).
