Do yourself a favor and read this article

I don't know how many of your remember that thread at Nsider that compared books and games, but after reading that, I'm preparing a follow-up thread based on that article (sorry, couldn't resist).
HOWEVER, the subject is really touchy (the consequences of having "serious games") and last time it was bought up it caused a flame war. That's why I want you to read it and start arranging your thoughts - the thread needs intelligent replies pronto!
In any case, PLEASE, just read that article. Wait to long and you might found yourself playing the rticle isntead of reading it.
