Filming of the Games of Thrones pilot has wrapped. Now we wait to see what the chances of a actual series are.

The AV club’s best 15 video games of the noughties.

The BBC discusses committing war crimes in video games. (via Rock, Paper, Shotgun)
The Times covers ‘adult gamers’. Shock, horror!
And, finally, Kotaku celebrates World of Warcraft’s 5th birthday by finding out from people why they’ve never played it. The intro where the writer discusses how it just doesn’t live up to tabletop gaming experiences is the most interesting one to me.
