HAWAII of Games in the Media
The video gaming industry is now a more impressive grossing industry compared to the movie industry. In 2007 more income was spent in the UK on PC and console games, as well as the consoles themselves and the associated peripherals than on DVDs and cinema tickets. Yet until recently the media attention lavished on the movie and music industry, celebrities, plots and special effects far outshone that given to the games industry, with games journalism lagging behind movie and music reviews and comments in the majority of mainstream titles.

So too does the wider public view the movie industry more seriously, handing it the privilege to handle important issues and make important comments. In comparison the games industry is viewed with a degree of both suspicion and too little seriousness, still seen by many as an immature quest for kids and adults who have to mature. Big releases like Halo 3, Wii Fit and Grand Theft Auto 4 have all received comparatively high media attention, though not necessarily for strictly reasons or in a confident light. Generally games only enter the general publics eye if they break records or through bad press.

And so because the games industry grows and matures so too does it gain wider exposure from the mainstream press.

Dedicated games magazines are actually experienced long-term brands as are their associated websites. Recently not merely have TV shows focused on game reviews and news grown to have a put on several channels but games orientated channels themselves have launched not just online but on Sky and Cable too, namely xleague.tv
