Games are good, but there are a few interesting conferences as well.
Scott Humphries catches one. Moderated by Joshua Quittner of On Magazine, the panel responded to hypothetical questions dealing with each camp's visions of the consumer, journalist objectivity, and the ultimate responsibilities of both sides towards hardcore gamers. Games may suck, but don't say the people who made them suck. Geoff and Robert defended their position by stating that the game industry should be viewed as a whole, and not swayed to spare hurt feelings. Some games even set themselves up for a fall.
