Video games are the new kid on the block when it comes to expressive artforms, and they've got a lot to learn. More specifically, they've got a lot to learn about themselves.
The Architect has journeyed to distant shores, plumbed the depths of knowledge and invaded more than one other medium to figure out what makes games tick, and why a 2-bit game about insurance can tell a better story than multimillion-dollar megahits.
