Following Ron Rosenberg’s recent comments regarding the upcoming Tomb Raider game getting a complete do-over, Robert Florence has written a very provocative article about the state of writing in video games in general.
Unfortunately, Florence asserts that almost all video games have terrible writing:
“Gears of War – sells a ton, critically acclaimed, terrible writing. Modern Warfare – same. Halo – same. Almost everything – same.”
This struck me as slightly peculiar. As a gamer I am usually drawn to video games where the story and the characters excite me moreso than the action or graphics. I can tolerate slightly ropey controls if I’m hooked by the plot or charmed by the people I meet.
Obviously, this hasn’t always been true, simpler games when I began playing such as Super Mario Bros didn’t include multi-layered narratives, but there it was beautifully streamlined, much like Lawrence Kasdan’s Raiders of the Lost Ark...

Baku, Azerbaijan — Sweden's Loreen clinched the top spot at this year's Eurovision Song Contest with her dance hit "Euphoria," pushing aside competition from a sextet of Russian grannies and a Serbian balladeer.
Juries and television viewers from across Europe awarded Loreen a total of 372 points, handing her an easy win in an event that ended in the early hours Sunday in host country Azerbaijan. Sweden will take over hosting duties next year.
Softly spoken Loreen, a 28-year-old of Moroccan-Berber descent, thanked her fans for their support.
"I wouldn't have been able to do this without you. Thank you so much," she said after her victory was announced.
Russia's Buranovskiye Babushki garnered much public affection for their cute onstage presence, but their folksy dance ditty "Party for Everybody" couldn't quite match Sweden's more contemporary offering and ended up second on 259 points.
