Joystiq Division - I find it interesting how gamers feel the need to have their hobby validated. Whether or not video games are art has been debated to death, but I've noticed a smaller offshoot of conversation popping up in forums, articles and editorials as of late, posing the question: Have video games "made it."
That seems like a silly question to me but, let's face it, we come from a culture of speedruns, Achievements and leaderboards. Of course we want to know if video games have leveled up enough to become an accepted part of society.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
