Art as Game: Genres
On G4techTV....
Four different and distinct video game genres are represented, per segment, throughout the show: Shooters, fighting games, platform games, and action RPGs. One can always look back to the origins of specific categories, but it is the rare game that can prominently stand forth as a seminal piece of work—one that, while it may not have been the first to cement a certain design dynamic, stands firm as the pre-eminent work of digital art of its’ era.
On Tuesday, August 24, viewers will have the opportunity to see some of the genre defining games that have shaped today’s video game landscape. Tune in to Cinematech at 10:30pm ET / 7:30pm PT to catch the “Art as Game.”
