anaesthetica writes "The Christian Science Monitor is carrying a story on new directions in game design. The article notes that big gaming companies are not pushing innovation beyond taking advantage of newer hardware. New areas of innovation are coming from education, training, and online communities." From the article: "Online games have the potential to transform entertainment into a global-community exercise, breaking down borders, cultural and language barriers, and even political prejudices...I doubt any other form of entertainment holds out that promise...We have only scratched the surface of what [interactive entertainment] can be."

Simply the best Global coverage in US dailies by Tungbo · 2005-06-06 03:10 · Score: 0, Troll

It has the most in depth coverge of news and affairs of other nations bar none. The only serious competitor is The Economist which is a periodical. CSM has less bias than any other US publication unless you feel that any coverage of news outside of the US of A is inherently leftist or socialist.

Read it and decide for yourself.
