It’s unfortunate that whenever gaming is mentioned by the media it is invariably in a negative context. Like any other industry, gaming has its vocal “bad boys” – those developers or titles that thrive on negative attention. Unfortunately, the good guys often get overlooked as a result. While there have been countless stories run about Grand Theft Auto, I am still awaiting the first story about Creative Assembly’s Total War series. Has anyone outside of the gaming press extolled this franchise’s incredible ability to not only entertain, but to teach some history as well? Has anyone written an expose about its ability to bring together the teen gamer and the college professor in sophisticated gaming bliss? Unfortunately, I guess this lack of attention is just another example of muckraking journalism at work, something that is a story for another time.
