"Issues in Gaming" is a new series of articles that I wanted to write. Unlike "Notes from a Vista User," "Issues in Gaming" is going to be a longer running series of articles. My topics will change from week to week, but will ultimately be focused on contemporary issues in the gaming community. There are a number of issues, political and ethical, that exist in the community. There are also practical and philosophical issues that Jaxel, over at the Elitist Gamer’s Journal, writes about. For me, however, this week, I intend to focus on one of the issues that the media is having a field day with: Take-Two’s Manhunt 2. I do not intend to focus strictly on Manhunt 2 however; I will also focus on Take-Two’s other titles, relate them to this current issue, and show how their present situation could herald dangerous times for the company. I also plan to relate Take-Two’s circumstances to the situation that has been growing in the gaming community as of late.
