Several of our hosts, here at WYPI, are video game fanatics, with Modern Warfare 2 being a in house favorite! We have been known to have video game competitions, after school and plan on having shows dedicated to video gaming. Hopefully, we can talk about this topic as well!
Can a Video Game Be a Work of Art? By KATHERINE SCHULTEN NY Times
quote:::
"In his review, Chris Suellentrop quotes Roger Ebert, who wrote a blog post this year called “Video Games Can Never Be Art” in which he stated, “no one in or out of the field has ever been able to cite a game worthy of comparison with the great dramatists, poets, filmmakers, novelists and composers.”
Students: Tell us about your experiences with video games, and your opinion about their potential as works of art in their own right. Do you, too, find them addictive? Which do you think are the best in terms of how they stack up as “ambitious works of narrative fiction”? Do you agree with Mr. Bissell that there is a big generational divide on the potential of video games?
