Title: A SHOUT OUT... to those willing to help with a project.
Post by: Zoltan on March 24, 2010, 04:46:04 PM
I'm going to be working on a persuasive project for one of my classes and I think I'll be talking about Video Games as Art. I'm keeping it broad for now until I'm able to read a few articles and narrow down the topic. Thing is there are lots of gaming sites that have discussed this topic which is what I'm asking for help with. I want to be able to look at as many sources as I can but I know I won't be able to find all of the ones I've come across in the past so what I ask is that if you know of any article or podcast that discusses this topic could you please post it here, I'd really appreciate it.
PS This may be the first post I've made but I didn't make an account purely to ask for help, the confirmation email for registering went to my spam inbox and I didn't realize this until recently. Now that I've made a profile I plan on being a more active member on the site (at least with the news updates).
Once again, I would really appreciate the help.

The Radio Free Nintendo crew had a pretty good discussion on RFN Episode #180 (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/podcastArt.cfm?artid=20826) regarding games as art. The resulting TalkBack thread (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=30445) contained a bunch of interesting viewpoints as well.

There are a bunch of books you can buy about "The art of..." Warcraft, Halo, games in general. These books demonstrate the concept art that goes into creating each game. There's a powerful argument to be made there. Any video game, no matter what the subject or calibur, requires a LOT of creative pre-production.

Entire books of the subject is going a little too far, it isn't that big of a project. I'm thinking things like what Rodger Ebert stated on the topic, and other isolated articles.

i'll see if i can find the paper i wrote on the subject... edit: nevermind, i found an old incomplete draft of the paper, but its not enough to be helpful. I wasn't as good at backing things up back then as i am now, i'll check some old CDs though.

Thanks, the kind of things I'm looking for are stuff that I can site as I present their evidence.
