Games in the Paper


I always look forward to the Star Tribune on Saturday. Even though its small, there is video game coverage. Usually about a half of a page. There is a game review, a top 10 list from Game Informer(based in MN), and a news clip of the week. Today's game is Fifa World Cup. 3 and a half stars out of 4. Everybody is soccer crazy now with the big games going on. The top 10 list features XBOX games. Now I'm not sure if its the best games of the week, their favorite games of the week, or the biggest sellers. Tomb Raider is #1 with the Platinum Hit Midnight Club 3 right behind it. The story of the week involves the name Wii and the criticism behind it. I think people are starting to adapt. maybe.
Also, USA today like to print stories related to the game industry. Though their stories are more geared to the business side of things, they usually have a story or 2 a week.
