The obvious objective of video games is to entertain people by surprising them with new experiences.

In the past, a lot of films based on video games think that the audience wants to experience what it's like to play the game, and that's absolutely not the case.

While films are a very visual and emotional artistic medium, video games take it one step further into the realm of a unique personal experience.

As a genre, videogames take our minds on journeys, and we can control and experience them much more interactively than passively - especially when they are well-designed.

We've been playing games since humanity had civilization - there is something primal about our desire and our ability to play games. It's so deep-seated that it can bypass latter-day cultural norms and biases.

So, I'm always around video games but I've always been interested in them from a visual perspective, with the graphic design and that whole thing. I don't know if that comes from my love of photography or what but that's always what's held my interest about them.

I think the more realistic you try to make the graphics and the experience, the more you limit yourself to a single vision.

What's great about games in particular is that it's a socially acceptable way for adults to imagine.

All video games are games, obviously. They're designed. They're digital. They have rules; they give an audience some type of vicarious experience.
