So there is a brief article over at Den of Geek about the potential for literary games. It involves Suda 51 so it is automatically exciting. The first step to creating games with real intent is to understand ways to leverage the medium to create a range of experience. Adapting already existing works may be the best way to tackle the technical challenges of designing such a game before we go out and try to create a truely original work.

Just to flesh this out some more, there is also a post over at MTV calling for more "arty" looking games rather than more realistic ones. The arguement is that a game on Wii or PS2 can look better than Ps3 games if they just make it look cool rather than real. I assume that everyone already knows this around here, but the industry in general certainly doesn't.

Also, isn't it really strange that MTV actually has good coverage of games and is backing Rock Band etc? Thinking of MTV as a legitimate source of anything post mid-90's is just so strange.
