It's a shame because games can be so much more than movies.

Her Story[1] manages to pair an interesting mechanic with with an engaging story. I really recommend setting aside an evening to try it if you haven't already.

It's a shame that the games industry seems to be allergic to using video in games. You can have video with interactivity and story-telling all in one package.

Really neat short game!

It's much better than L.A. Noire at making you feel like a detective and that moment when you figure out what happened is amazing.

The mechanics are limited so it only works a short experience, thankfully it doesn't overstay it's welcome.
