Those who play them (fully half of all Americans ages 6 and up) love them, and those who don't play them regard them with virulent distaste. It's time that changed. Those of you in the latter group, if you have any curiosity about the future of your own culture, and if you haven't already put down this magazine in favor of Flaubert or croquet or whatever, take a look at three new video games that expand our notions of what a video game...
