Our Little Algonquin

There’s an interesting conversation going on at the Slate Magazine website. A discussion between Stephen Totilo, Chris Sullentrop, Seth Schiesel, and N’Gai Croal. While most of what they’re talking about is a little obvious to anyone that’s actually turned a sharp eye to the gaming situation in the past year, what’s makes it worth reading is that none of the writers are members of the enthusiast press. They all write for publications that cover topics other than games (MTV News, Slate, The New York Times, and Newsweek respectively). Is this the beginning of genuine games criticism?
