Movie Review The Game - 1912 Words

I’ve avoided covering episodic content on this show for a long time. Mostly it was because, as someone interested in a game’s themes and ideas I wanted to be able to speak with some authority on what â€Å"The Game† is about in its entirety. And it’s hard to talk about that sort of stuff when you only have â…• of the game in front of you. But after years of watching episodic content come and go – and after not being able to cover some really great stuff like Kentucky Route Zero – I’ve reconsidered. While talking about the work as a whole is valuable and important, so too is looking at each piece. Episodic content is serialized content, like comic book issues or television shows or web series. You kind of have to look at each bit as a standalone piece that also contributes to a greater work. Otherwise we couldn’t, say, talk about the first Harry Potter film until all eight had been released which is ridiculous. So l et’s take a look at a game that, at the time of this writing has only one episode out and see what we can make of it: let’s look at Life is Strange. It’s an episodic adventure game in the Telltale vein – five three-ish hour episodes comprising a single season of dialog choices and light puzzles. But it sort of turns the Telltale/Walking Dead formula on its head a bit. The Walking Dead, arguably Telltale’s biggest and certainly most influential release so far, was all about making decisions that at least felt immediately impactful and expressive, where yourShow MoreRelatedMovie Review : The Games 1568 Words   |  7 PagesThroughout the book many games are played.
