However, he feels that the new rules are okay...Mostly. In this editorial, he describes why GDC went the same route and survived, what E3 exhibitors are thinking, where E3 can improve their quality control standards, and what an independent journalist can do if they get rejected from covering the most important event in the video game industry.
We begin by giving our review of the PC RPG Magicka. It's an indie title developed by Swedish students, can it play with the big boys? Then we delve into a hot issue - Sony's PS3 jailbreaking woes. Sony has announced that they will ban consoles from PSN if they are jailbroken, and have sued the man who brought the code out.

Then we take calls about the PS3 and Magicka.
