Video Games v. Videogames: What do you call the medium?

Of all the gaming topics in the world, one has irked me more than others: the spelling of this community's favorite form of entertainment. Some spell the phrase with a space, some without. Being the grammar nazi that I am, I cannot help but to have this burning desire to know the proper spelling. So, how do you guys spell the phrase? I'd be quite curious to know.

Why would it be one word? It's two words, and that's a fact. End of thread.

Firefox is terrible, IE works so much better and is faster and secure.

22 votes for Video Games and none for Videogames....

I've never seen video games spelled as one word. That's just crazy.

While I agree with all of you, tell that to IGN and the New York Times.
