An all-around solid article on the independent gaming movement. Quote: “‘These games have used what is innate to games — their interactivity — to make a statement about the human condition. And we in the industry seem to not be able to do that.’”
Games, I think, have the most promise for true innovation in human expression. That’s the main reason I find them, and articles like this one, so interesting. That, and I grew up playing video games and love a good, fun video game. If you have a PS3 or an Xbox 360 (or both, like me), you really should check out Flower and Braid. Both are absolutely amazing and beautiful games that really function more as experiences—they each give you a very distinct feeling. Last I checked, that’s what art does, too.
