Here is something we spoke of before, story-telling in video games, now we can see professionals do it. I haven't watched the video yet so shush.
From the best way to tell a story in a video game, to the most confusing plots ever told, this episode of the Bonus Round opens the book narrative in today's games. Do games like BioShock and God of War tell effective stories? What is "environmental storytelling" and how may it change games forever? Does the DLC landscape change the way games unfold - do they ever end? Find out!
