Intelligent Video Games

Jonathon

I know virtually nothing about video games, but I want to explore these, mentioned in this article:

Besides trashy games, there are: - plot and dialogue-based [games] like Planescape or Dreamfall - the masterpieces of emergent interaction – modern or aging – like Deus Ex and Bioshock. - super-realistic simulations - strategy games with many, many times the complexities of chess or Risk

“In these cases, the word ‘game’, as a label, is simply wrong. Describing Half Life 2 as a game is like using the word ‘cartoon’ to describe the Sistine Chapel ceiling.”
