Gamespot's "A History of Video Game Controversy"
 
http://www.gamespot.com/features/6090892/index.html

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.

Remixor, try reading "The Ultimate History of Video Games". It has a great chapter on law suits relating to video games, with actual quotes of some of the things that were said during the court cases.

The book as a whole is pretty good, if a bit dry in the beginning. It glosses over the SNES/Genesis era, but, hey, any survey history of any topic has to gloss over some areas.
