    So that has to go in there

    Created in 1962 by Stan Lee and Jim Shooter, Batman is Image Comics' first openly gay superhero. And even though he's been somewhat reimagined from the half naked crusader of queer justice we once knew, there's no question that his flamboyance is still his greatest weapon.

    Arkham Asylum is the latest in a long string of video games chronicling the adventures of the Dark Knight, and one of the few to actually be any good. Starring many of the voices of the 1978 animated series, it drastically differs itself from that show by not having a talking dune buggy.

    seems right to me

    did I get the year wrong

    Went with Half Life 2 because that laid the groundwork for Portal and it was such a milestone both technologically and artistically.

    OLD ART: SENTIMENTAL OVERWROUGHT BULLSHIT
    MODERN ART: CRUDE SOPHISTRY
    POSTMODERN ART: FUCK OFF
    ok I'll stop now

    what I like in videogames is the effective use of a unique looking aesthetic
    to this end, I like cartoonier styles like Psychonauts or stuff like Okami, or even more abstract looking stuff like that one where you had to eat things to get bigger and bigger

    the more realistic looking games I don't find as interesting visually
    or at least, I don't find them as interesting as long

    I agree to an extent

    I also think realistic looking games have their place as art because they can kind of be more immersive, and I feel immersion is a major component of the artsyness of a game

    not only that, they couldn't decide what the models looked like in the cutscenes

    sometimes they'd be realistic looking and other times they'd be stumpy lego men
