It was a somewhat worthwhile read, although I didn't feel it was particularly well-written. One of the biggest problems is that it simply IS just a history, and nothing else. I was hoping for more of an editorial, because as it is the article is mainly just a checklist of games that have caused media controversy. Certainly it's interesting to have a chronolical and exhaustive reference of this, particularly if one is planning on writing one's own editorial, but it's not essential.
