As the Electronic Entertainment Expo comes and goes, there is one thing that continues to rain supreme. We all feel the need to tare this down and that down, yet we seem to have forgotten why we fell in love with this damned medium in the first place.

Can videogames only be fun or is there something else that can be garnered from them instead of classifying them as only... more.

Why is it that I don't understand how so many people can praise animation in film and pooh pooh videogames so easily. As I sit here and Watch Starz Inside: A Pixar Story (more specifically Part 2), I can't help but see the exuberance oozing out of Richard Roeper as he chronicles Ratatouille. It's no secret that film has had eons to build up the relationship it has with audiences, but why is it so... more.
