These games create worlds that are identicle to the worlds created by films, novels, theatre. In other words, they are another form of literature.

They are as relevant to our lives as The Sopranos, The Taming of the Shrew, Medea, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Of Mice and Men, Rambo, and Kath and Kim.

Mr King sounds like my old English teacher in high school, foaming at the mouth at even the suggestion that films could be considered literature.

Time passes, Mr King, and things change. I bet in your day, they didn't have all this interactivity stuff, and narrative stayed on the page where it belonged.
