Think of it: A secret society of gaming enthusiasts who risk legal action, and even financial ruin, to own a piece of the industry - something someone probably shouldn't have any right to own in the first place. Some even go so far as to deal with pirates for that perfect item. Feature contributor, John Szczepaniak, shares months of research into the underworld of high-priced, one-of-a-kind gaming collectibles in Obscurity Below the Radar (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/issue/23/3).
This week, The Escapist focuses on non-mainstream games in issue 23: Gaming Below the Radar. (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/issue/23) In Casual Wonder, (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/issue/23/12) Bruce Geryk takes a look at Days of Wonder, a company that's creating simpler, but no less fun, strategy games for the masses. Bonnie Ruberg discusses the oft-overlooked realm of "girl games" in Games of a Fairer Sex. (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/issue/23/16) Sisyphus Gaming, (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/issue/23/20) by newcomer Simon Abramovitch, looks at the headstrong march to push the cutting-edge-gaming envelope, and its all too frequent ill effect on gameplay and storyline.
