A lot of people like to argue about whether or not video games are art or can be art? While I feel that they can be for sure I am excited to hit up the Experience Music Project this weekend and check out the Art of Videogames exhibit that has been going on there. I've read some favourable things about it, about the selection of the games that they've picked and the bits of history behind some of everyone's favorites like Mario, Zelda, Pitfall, Monkey Island and dozens more and overall it seems like it will definitely be something worth seeing. I quite enjoy behind the scenes looks at games and with plenty of conceptual works and interviews with developers and creators I feel like this is something that a gamer can't afford to miss. Here is a link to the EMP's site for the exhibit and I'll write more after the weekend as to how it was.
As for currently what I have been playing, I gave Monaco a try on Steam and I highly recommend getting it on there, or get it on XBLA whenever the patches are done and the game is released. It's an action packed top down bit of pixel heaven that's like a number of games but it's very own beast at the same time. As well after beating inFamous I am now on Uncharted and have been enjoying it. I do have a bit of a problem with how cheery Nathan Drake is for the amount of guys that I have slaughtered, but I digress, it's a great game with a great story so far.
