Video Game Recognition

Now that I'm starting to take seriously my comments as a literary, film and music critic, I wanted to say something.

And that's that the classic Role Playing video games, like Legend of Zelda, the classic Final Fantasies, and Skyrim, should get the same kind of recognition as real art that great movies get.

Games like Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, the great Legend of Zelda games and Skyrim have storytelling and visuals- and film music- comparable to movies like E.T. and the original Star Wars trilogy.

In my book, movies like E.T. and the original Star Wars trilogy deserve to be ranked up with the finest art ever made.

And so do games like Final Fantasy VII.

These role playing games have some of the finest epic fantasy storytelling I have ever known, and visuals that are among the finest fantasy art ever made. And music comparable to the great film scores of John Williams.

I just wanted to put that out there.

These games are great cinema. And they deserve recognition.

God loves you!

Sincerely,

David S. Annderson
