As Hecker FiFa 14 coins puts it go into a game store and you have a choiceabout kilng orcs, or guys in armour. It's clear we have to makegames about different stuff". It's no surprise that games keSpyParty, Flower, mbo and Journey standout (and including mbo in that st is helpful as it'snot the use of violence that is a problem, but how it is used).
I think Hecker is right, that there is a similar danger forvideo games. Focusing on violent experiences may serve the profitsof big companies, and sell in large numbers to core players, but italso potentially mits what video games can offer broader culture.Maybe no surprise here, given my TEDx talk onwhat video games can offer society, but still not something I'dthought through in relation to comic books.
