I've never liked this weird inferiority complex that some games seem to have where they feel like they won't be taken seriously unless they're as close to a movie as possible.

Because Roger Ebert said they weren't and nerds care about the opinion of an old dude who did not play video games

I don't think game reviewers are any more lame than other critics, I think people just need to learn how subjectivity and objectivity work. If people just want a reviewer with the exact same tastes as them maybe THEY should become the reviewer

Now, if music and visuals and stories each count as one art, games are logically a minimum of 300% as they include all of these, and 400% if you count gameplay as art. It's simple arithmetic. Suck it, old media.

david cage games are bad but based on what I've seen of Heavy Rain and Beyond they're still at least trying to take advantage of the medium they're in rather than being ashamed of it.

David Cage set out to makes games that felt like movies but instead he made two movies with dumb video game plots. Oh gross he did three of them.
