wow, finally someone dealing with videogame themes intelligently and recognizing some of the artistic achievements of the medium...and of course, they use Shadow of the Colossus. =) Check this out: http://kotaku.com/gaming/top/feature-th The upcoming movie "Reign Over Me", with Don Cheadle and Adam Sandler, features the game rather heavily it seems, and manages to thematically reflect some of the ideas presented in the film. Brilliant stuff...and now I totally have to see this movie. Hopefully we'll see more use of video games like this: to present or amplify some thematic element in other mediums, respected rather than reviled. Of course, Shadow is an exception rather than the rule, but it's still exciting and a step in the right direction. |
