Press about the party:
"On August 28th 2010 Gamer Tag Radio hosted a Mafia II game release party in New York City. We have full video coverage of this event. The turn out was great." - RawGamePlay
"At the Mafia II Community Launch Party in New York City, GamerNode's News Director Mike Murphy caught up with Playboy's Gamer Next Door Jo Garcia for additional details about the launch party, her opinion on the game, what she's been playing, and more. Garcia was a special guest for the party that was hosted by 2K Games and Gamertag Radio, with Gamertag's Danny Pena a.k.a. Godfree and Peter Toledo a.k.a. Peterocc taking on MC duties." - Gamenode.com
"Mafia II release party a huge success despite protesters" - Examiner
"I want to start off by saying congratulations to GamertagRadio for putting on one of the BEST parties I've ever been to. With that being said, the venue was packed wall to wall with guests" - Talkingaboutgames
"UNICO Protesters Try To Claim Mafia II Victory, Yet Fail" - Sarcasticgamer
"UNICO touts it ruins Mafia II party, doesn't really" - Destructoid
"The turnout was incredible, and really drove home the popularity of both Mafia II and GamerTag Radio." - Examiner
"Mr. DiMino is being intellectually dishonest with everything he has said about this game, and the event in question. I wasn't able to attend the event due to previous commitments, but I know a lot of people - including journalists - who went, and they all confirmed that the event was definitely NOT a failure. It was everything they figured it would be: virtually no steak, but a lot of sizzle, not to mention alcohol." - Dailygamesnews

Of all games. I am at work. In this genre. I am at work.
As you can tell with a post like this I should be reporting live from Activision's Call of Duty Black Ops event tonight where Treyarch will be unveiling for the first time the multiplayer action for the highly anticipated Call of Duty Black Ops. About the same time, 2 years ago I was in Los Angeles poolside with the guys at Treyarch and asking them if they really thought that World at War had a chance against Infinity Ward's (RIP) version Modern Warfare. Their response was hell yeah. And you know what? To an extent, they were right.
Some of you probably remember the article posted earlier this year by Roger Ebert writing on how video games can never be art. Responses to it came up in articles, podcasts and all over twitter.
Interestingly enough, an article speaking on why video games can be art appeared on the front page of CNN.com today (as I was browsing my merry way) under the Tech heading.
While I may not agree with all the examples Scott Steinberg, the article's author, uses, I still give him credit for the perspective he writes on.
