JF, nice article about video games for the layman, but I think the author is way behind on the times. Quoting the conclusion of the column: > Video games are still emerging from their infancy. The first 35 years of motion pictures, from 1895 to 1930, yielded a handful of films that are considered masterpieces for their technical innovations, but the following decade was when cinema first became the art form that we know today. As cinema matured, films developed the power to transform as well as to entertain. Video games are poised to enter a similar golden age. But the first step isn’t Halo 3. One problem is that the same time scale cannot apply to both cinema and video games. Remember the Atari 2600? I would consider that, along with the classic arcade games like Pac-Man, to be comparable to the first 35 years of motion pictures. We're way beyond that now. Tenchusatsu
