A fantastic and very current presentation of prose of gaming. I hope it will enliven my students passion for writing through IF.

They showed some old school stuff, and then some current gen stuff. They came out and said that there was a story drought in the 90s, and while games with good stories were a bit of a rarity in PS/PS2 eras, RPGS and games like MGS, Silent Hill, Indigo Prophecy, need to be mentioned.
