But to keep your appetites whet with game blogging, here are some recent offerings from some other bloggable blog sources:

• What Makes Video Games Scary? [Kotaku] — Concise, interesting and, well, obviously we’re going to like this kinda stuff.
• Creative Fluff have a new section game design written by The Game Critique’s Eric Swain. Check it out here, yo.
• Critical Distance have a new addition to their Critical Compilation series. This one’s on Grand Theft Auto IV.
• And finally, a Google search unveiled this article at Christian website Revelife. In it, blogger ‘Travis’ rehashes some old ideas about video game violence. The upshot? Well, essentially he’s just warning us of the ills of violent video games with reference to the bible and the Robbin Williams film Toys. Not convinced, Trav.

• This article in a ‘mainstream‘ publication — located at News.com.au — takes a look at the social side of gaming in an attempt to dispel the curse of the basement-dweller. I’m often skeptical of how a lot of journos portray games and gamers, but this, I’d say is pretty good.
• Over at Geek.com, Joel Evans takes a quick look at games that are SFW because they look just like work. I wish we’d written the post, damn it! A useful and SFW post. The double threat.
• In a weird kind meta way, I direct you to Critical Distance‘s weekly roundup of game criticism. It was particularly good (even by their standards) for October the 4th, containing some particularly relevant links and editorials.
• Lol wut – Are they really making a Spore movie? According to this article they are.
• And finally, an iPod touch/iPhone game you play with your tongue. Rad.
