Skyrim and Dark Souls, Challenge and Art in Video Games: Thoughts on “How Will Videogames Pass Go?”

So I just read Ryan Kuo’s “How Will Videogames Pass Go?” and I wanted to offer some thoughts.

Nintendo Was Hard, Is That Important?

I’ve been playing Metal Gear Solid 4 recently, and I’m quite pleased with the game.  Really, any game that starts off with a fake interview with the actor who voices the main character, dressed up like the main character, but promoting something other than the game…

Oh, and the actor’s name is David, and then later in the game Snake’s “mom” calls HIM David…

It’s all so meta, it gets me all tingly.
