Video Games | Off Book | PBS Arts
Video games are critical. They are a storytelling medium, a spot for self-expression, a sandbox for the human imagination, and an extension of an ages old tradition of gaming. We play out some of the most crucial elements of our culture in games, and we understand more about ourselves and the planet around us in the method. From the effective cinematic experiences of mainstream gaming, to the hyper-private environments of indie games, we are in the midst of an explosion of gaming activity that, as some predict, will continue to define the way we reside and interact with details, and each and every other, far into the future.
