RSVP:\u00a0gamecenter@nyu.edu<\/a><\/p>\n

Please join us for a panel discussion with three important voices from the\u00a0world of game journalism. Who writes about games? What is the future of game\u00a0criticism? Where does game news fit into the game industry ecosystem? How is\u00a0the game press affected by the collapse of print? Why are we still looking\u00a0for the Lester Bangs and Pauline Kael of game reviews? Come hear our\u00a0esteemed panelists wrestle with these and other questions and be sure to\u00a0bring your own.<\/p>\n
