Economical with the truth

Fairly interesting article in the Economist. Nothing we didn't already know, and it does get sucked into the "unprecedented power" hype of the new consoles a bit too much, but seeing as the Economist's target audience is likely to consider the term "gaming" to mean either gambling or golf, it serves as a useful education piece. Particularly liked, "critics of gaming do not just have the facts against them; they have history against them, too." All good stuff, and true. Although it's hard to retain that revolutionary zeal when you're playing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
