Video games are important. They are a storytelling medium, a place for self-expression, a sandbox for the human imagination, and an extension of an ages old tradition of gaming. We play out some of the most essential aspects of our culture in games, and we learn more about ourselves and the world around us in the process. From the powerful cinematic experiences of mainstream gaming, to the hyper-personal environments of indie games, we are in the midst of an explosion of gaming activity that, as some predict, will continue to define the way we live and interact with information, and each other, far into the future.
Games and Videogames are where interactivity and art collide. In my opinion videogames are truly underestimated as a form of art, and while there is a big transformation going on about that perception, it’s still pretty underground but we’re going there. In some years we will have some of the most talented writers, visual artists and movie directors contributing to the development of games, and even some will become famous as directors, artists and writers because of their contributions to games.
