Isn't the title of this page misleading? "State" in general just means "nation", and in that sense, all nations are states. For an example of this (common) usage, think of the "Failed States Index". However, in this article, a very different meaning of "state" is used, namely, "one of the fifty-something semi-autonomous regions of the United States of America". There's nothing wrong with that usage, of course, although I don't think it's the first thing that will come to mind unless you are a US citizen; but it should be clarified in the title. Even ''Games by State (US)'' would be much clearer. [[User:VictorGijsbers|VictorGijsbers]] 00:03, 26 June 2008 (PDT) | |||
