Aleks Krotoski, Historically, society seems to come round eventually to appreciating new artforms like Jazz and comic books. Will Video Games inevitably reach the level of artistic respect that other art has?

Yes i believe they will but they will need to grow in many important ways. First, in terms of depth of character and narrative. Second, in terms of input - devices like the Wiimote have shown that games CAN be played by all kinds of people! yet who the heck knows what to make of a PS3 controller? Third, in terms of the breadth of interactivepossibilities on offer. Fourth, in terms of the time it requires. They'll become more sophisticated over the next few years and probabl;y more integrated into our lives and then we'll see a new medium emerge which will have the depth of other traditional art forms
