Our Senior Project is finally in the works. We hope to address the topic of Video Games as a legitimate narrative medium. One of the main arguments against this viewpoint, is that since the player is interacting with the game, there are always new stories being made. A game, in a sense, never tells the same story twice.
Whereas I agree with this fact, that a story is flexible due to player interaction, I still think that games can (and do) successfully tell stories - just as well, if not better - than some books and movies.
We are currently looking in to the literature at the moment, and hope to start work on our project over the summer. As we work on it, I hope to update this blog some more.
