From the Editors

Taiko gameThe turning of the year is, for many of us, a time to anticipate changes in our lives and strive to improve ourselves. But can we anticipate improvements in games and in the broader gaming community? And what can we learn from looking back and examining what has been done before? Our contributors are grappling with these questions, among others, in many of our articles and features this month. In Gamer vs. Gamer, Victor Barreiro Jr. and Anika Cunningham discuss the casual vs. hardcore gaming divide, both where it’s been and where it’s going. Meanwhile, Richard Pilbeam looks back at some of the past products of the RPG Maker community, and Samara Steele delivers something novel in the form of a free-verse poem.

When you’ve read these and our other articles and features, be sure to enjoy a little amusement on The Back Page, where we’re announcing the winners of last month’s LOLGAMERS contest.

And after that, maybe you’d like to start this new year by looking over our submission guidelines and planning an article of your own
