Dear Sir:
I would like to take you up on your declaration that video games need critics as opposed to just reviewers. Games have the possibility of being art but it is up to the community itself to provide criticism of the art form rather than rely on the outside world or critique to do it for them. Old Art will never call any video game ‘art’ and it is the video game crowd’s responsibility to declare and define what art exists in the medium as New Art.
