AP Stylebook Gets Game (Boy)

The new AP Stylebooks are here. The new AP Stylebooks are here.

Seen under the letter G:

Game Boy: The video game system from Nintendo. Also, Game Boy Advance.

Seen under the letter V:

video game: Two words in all uses.

It's official, people know video games exist, now big things are going to start happening to us.

For those of you who aren't big newspaper geeks, the style book is like the bible of newspapering. Just about every newspaper in the country uses it to figure out how to spell and use odd words, phrases and ideas. This is the first game-related word to make the book.

To bad they didn't define video games, because it looks like people still don't know whether to include computer games under that title. I've seen it used both ways.
