Extra Credit - Facing Controversy

Before you damage it by contradicting yourself?

Anyway, I Think that the idea that we can only either be a mature medium or a child's toy is dumb.

I mean, suppose we held Satruday Morning Cartoons to the same standard as slasher flicks?

Should Porky's really fuck up Citizen Kane's rep as art?

Should Star Wars be any less of a technical achievement because of Epic Movie?

By the same merit, there are few games I would consider art, but Shadows of the Collossus shouldn't suffer because of Rapelay or whatever. Several games, while not masterpieces, are worthy of at least taking a place alongside cinema. Mass Effect and Red Dead Redemption are worthy as cinematic experiences, even if they are not the epitome of artistic expression and even if they are shooters.

Though I appreciate EC more because it provokes thought, more than that I agree with them.
