Life Ain't A Game

Videogames exist in a strange universe. No matter how different two games may seem, you’ll always find common rules that link the two – like Forza 4 and Prince of Persia sharing a rewind function, for example. Now imagine if our world was governed by those rules. Would it be better? Or worse? In this feature I take a look at real life through a skewed lens, and ponder what it would be like to live in a world governed by the rules of the videogame.

Arrested Development

Freedom of Expression is a term that’s bandied around a lot in these days of “gore-porn”, 3-hour blockbusters, hip-hop, thrash metal, reality TV on all 400-plus channels and every other celebrity “accidentally” leaking a home-made sex-tape, and certainly it’s a term that’s really hard to quantify in terms of taste and decency. Very little seems to be off-limits in this world of mixed media entertainment – until, of course, videogames are brought to the fore.
