The Escapist
Video screenshotgame journalism may still be working its way up the ladder of media legitimacy, being, as it is, mostly dedicated to reworking press releases and linking to cheats. If that just makes you want to log off, try The Escapist. This PDF and web-based publication is by and for the men and women who grew up in the late '70s and '80s along with the dawning video game industry. With feature articles like "When Gamers Breed," "Theory of the Gaming Class ," and a cover story on gaming-on-the-go that features a dude in a suit and tie -- well, you know this isn't by L33T-speaking tweeners. Still, despite the booming economics of the industry and the thought-provoking discourse within its pages, The Escapist remains a magazine that knows (and remembers) what gaming is all about -- escape.
