Very likely. I was hoping the OP might have some new reason I hadn't heard yet, just for variety's sake, but you're probably right.

I'm right there with you. When I was little, I read fiction and non-fiction, watched movies and tv, and played both board and video games. I dabbled in everything. As I've grown up, I've favored video games more and more. Really, it's a fantastic and very misunderstood medium.

Truly, some stories couldn't be told properly in any other medium, just as some stories need to be film or sequential art or whatever. Skies of Arcadia leaps to mind for me, and from what I've heard of the Metal Gear Solid series, it seems to hold for them, too.

Ah well. We'll just have to keep up the 'hey wait' prodding until the rest of society catches up to where gamers have been for some time now in understanding that it's not just kid's play. Although that's a bone I have with gamers at large a lot of the time - gimme more family (that is, games everyone can enjoy) games. Not because I want kids, but because I like cute things as much as I like my Super Gore Death Explosion 3000 type games. Yoshi's Story is awesome, dammit.

...Anyway, I see quite a similarity in some respects between how videogames and animation is seen in the West. Maybe by the time we can get some non-kiddy and non-family animation produced over here without idiots flipping out because clearly animated things is for teh tots, games will be more accepted as a diverse and versatile medium, too.

Oh, agreed completely, both with respect to games and animation. The first example that popped into my head for games that utilize the medium well is Silent Hill, especially the first two. It's hard if not impossible to recreate the feeling of those games without having the player in control of the main character. The case of the first game is especially pronounced, given how the movie turned out. Say what you will about the story (and boy, is there a lot to say), but the art direction was spot-on, and yet it just didn't evoke the same horror, the same unsettling gnaw that made the game so damn memorable.

I'm a big fan of cute and "casual gamer" games too, just as much as I am of "hardcore gamer" games. Lately, I've been bouncing between No More Heroes, The World Ends With You, Persona 3: FES, WiiFit, Super Mario Galaxy, Rocket Slime... variety's the spice of life, right? Why eat bland?
