The Onion is officially interested in video games. Instead of throwing their coverage in the mix with the sharp satire of their news section, The Onion is including it with their serious A.V. Club stuff. The coverage will include game reviews, the occasional feature story and a gaming column by Will Wheaton. What the For a guy toting around two Hollywood albatross, child actor and former Star Trek star, Wheaton has managed to really stick it out. I ve only occasionally read his stuff, but he seems to be a true gamer and a heck of a nice guy. I hope his Games of Our Lives column survives.

The inaugural Onion gaming piece, an interview with The Sims Will Wright and Atari s Howard Scott Warshaw, isn t exactly cutting edge. Heck, even RedAssedBaboon had an interview with Wright on the creation of the Sims franchise.
