The only blog that I make a conscious effort to visit every day. If you are passionate about video-games and are worried about the increased involvement of the government dictating what games you can play then this is definitely the place for you. 10/10 an awesome site. Keep up the good work Dennis.
This is the only blog other than the feed from G4 that I trust for gaming stuff. Everything else: Total crap. This blog is also not banned at my school, so I can get the news at any time! And they update it sooooo much that everytime I get on, theres usually something new. Thanks gamepolitics.com. 10 out of 10, mainly for the great service you provide, but also since I don't need a proxy to see you.
A most excellent resource if one is looking for informative comprehensive news, in-depth discussion and information on the state-of-gaming around the world.
Great site to get unbiased stories on the latest political scene in gaming.
I go here everyday and make sure that no politician will take my right to play videogames in peace, there are also stock market quotes for the major gaming companies which in my mind is a must for the modern gamer.
Blog is fantastic and informative and gives a great perspective of the issues is covers. Its only failing is that it gives way too much attention to Jack Thompson. The man only wants attention and does the antics he does to get attention and when you give it to him, you give him the means to continue. If people stop paying attention to him, he will fade away. He shouldn't be discussed.
Game Politics is the first site/blog to bring real attention to the politics of gaming world. While Game Politics represents more of a pro-gamer persepective, they have show that not only the site, but gamers themselves are can be not only show their maturity, but the growing maturity of the gaming genre itself.
This blog is *the* place to go for video game politics. GP has great even handed take on events even when under fire from someone like Jack Thompson.
Side note: It's "GamePolitics", one word, CamelCase.
Dennis McCauley provides an insightful and marvellously detailed look at the political aspect of video games. As the new media of video games goes through the "Seduction of the Innocent" phase that comic books went through, GamePolitics is keeping tabs on who's taking action, what's going on in the world, and reporting it with a wit and truthfulness that is practically unparalleled.
And the occasional appearance by everyone's favorite maniac lawyer, Jack Thompson, is always good for a laugh.

A very useful blog all around for keeping up to date on the latest political going-ons related to videogames.
All the articles are well-researched and well-written and GP has the honesty to disclose that they are owned by the ESA, which is certainly very commendable.
This is one of the very few blogs that I check daily and I highly recommend it.
