The first from our new ethics columnist Dustin Locke, *an assistant professor of philosophy in at Claremont McKenna College, who looks at the different styles of ethical play in games:*

> *In addition to Restraints and Rules, however, there is a third R of gameplay control: Wrongs. These are the ethical* principles of gameplay.

But are such things *really* wrong? Or are ethical principles of gameplay just a myth of gaming culture? Is all fair in love, war, and videogames?
