I'm still here in Iowa and it was a rougher day at the hospital than most. Because of this, I was able to only get half of what I wanted to get done today. I have consolidated my resources and have produced a Bibliography of the articles and books that will most likely be included into my paper and research poster. I will post this now and hopefully will have time to work on an outline, which will help be organize a thorough abstract.

It sounds like you've found a lot of good resources. I was wondering what decisions you've made thus far. Do you personally believe cheating in video games ethical? What did you think about the topic before you started? Have you considered creating a survey to ask people what they think about the topic? I think it'd be interesting to see what people of different demographics feel about the subject. I would think that that might add to the excitement of your research. Just a thought. Good luck reading through all of your sources.

Thank you very much for the nice sentiments. I do believe that some cheating can be ethically acceptable when performed in a certain manner. I will admit that I was not as well informed on all the real-life consequences cheating could create when entering this project so I have been slightly more critical than initially planned. I have been asked about creating a survey by many people but I think i want to focus on the philosophical aspect of the ethics in video games rather than the psychological. Thanks for the comment!
