    @BryanH: Even at 5 years old, WoW still has some of the most impressive artwork in any game on any platform *period*. Blizzard are true masters of their craft, of efficiency and of gorgeous hand painted artwork. Very few developers can boast even HALF of the artistic achievement that Blizzard's artists do.

    @jasongw: Totally agree.


    For me, WoW is one of the absolute best-looking games on the market. It doesn't have next-gen shader technology, HDR lighting, or super high res textures. What it does have is absolutely fucking incredible art design.


    Taking the boat into Howling Fjord for the first time after WotLK came out was one of the most visually beautiful moments I've ever seen in a game.


    It's like, something like Crysis is a really great looking game. Amazing lighting and textures and all of that, but that's really where it stops. I'll sit there for a few minutes and think to myself "Wow, this is really realistic", but that's really just being impressed by the technology, it doesn't make the game world any more interesting to me.


    WoW just has such a unique, diverse aesthetic that you can't help but want to explore every inch of that world. It's a real testament to the importance of art design when a game like (Strictly speaking) graphical dinosaur like WoW does far more for me visually than all the fancy Crytek lighting in the world ever could.

    Do you think they have a copy of Legend of Mana I can borrow? My brother lost his.


    I'll settle for Mischief Makers, though.

    Surely PC Games should be represented there as well. That section should have a bust of Sid Meier at the entrance. :>

    @Lunarplasma: Not sure about this - if they included PC games they'd have to have a bunch of other systems in addition to the modern PCs - (Apple ][e, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, maybe Apple ][ GS, Amiga, etc) Although I guess they could all be emulated.


    I agree about Sid Meier though.

    Given my countrymen's lack of "getting it" I would not keep my hope up. The things connected with the Nobel prize are extremely conservative. So unless it's been given enough media coverage or something for our extremely dry academics to enjoy, then forget it.


    They won't understand that Postal 2 is not a really good example for censorship. But they will pick it without even examining alternatives since it went up in court and thus received some kind of attention.

    Problem is, since they don't get it, no many who visits it will get it either. They are gonna take Postal 2 for a typical video game and it's gonna turn out stupid.

    Postal is about as culturally relavant and artistically creative as Hostel. The exhibition itself looks interesting, but I'm sure there could've been a better choice of censored game.

    @skaterguy18: They're decent timewasters, but as quality games... eh. They're shoddily put together, they try to offend for the sake of offensiveness, and the jokes fall flat.


    That being said, the Eternal Damnation mod is great. Makes it worth the price and shame of owning Postal 2.

    Very interesting discussion, and one that we should monitor. Even if the freedom of speech/expression is sometimes utilized in a manner to forward hate speech, hate speech (in the proper context) is still legal.


    The day that 'hating' things or other people becomes illegal to express is the day we migth as well hop into "1984" and handover all of our belongings/careers.
