Criticised at ‘pure musical madness’ and ‘too far out there’… That makes me very happy! If you want madness and ‘far out there’ – make sure you attend our next show – details will be posted here…
A particularly interesting interview on the emotional and intellectual stimulation provided by games.
“Jenova Chen is on a crusade to mature videogames, but he is not cribbing from The Sopranos. The creative director of thatgamecompany – the indie game studio incubated within Sony Santa Monica – wants to expand the popular definition of videogame by infusing games with emotionally and intellectually charged content.
Last week thatgamecompany unleashed its first assault on our emotions with the PlayStation Network game Flower. In the aftermath of launch, Chen discusses why the games industry needs to expand its emotional range, the rise of independent developers, and why he doesn’t want to create big budget blockbuster.”
