Some games just come and go and you forget them as disposable entertainment, and maybe in half a decade or more people will consider them better than they ever were in the first place. But has a game ever inspired you in a deep way? Or left a deep impact on you? |

I might have mentioned this somewhere else on the forum, but I have in fact been inspired by a video game. It caught my interest first for its anime art, but then I saw a single screenshot from the game which immediately sold the game for me "I want to explore that world" I said to myself. Whenever I've been doing Art & Design at school, I've always had teachers and lecturers simply tell when something is good or I've just had to roll with it. Basically what I mean is, I can draw but I didn't understand art. Right now I'm studying Graphic Design, we started working on a 'Digital Image Creation' unit last year (Photoshop). One of the first things we did was look through a selection of digital images and had to collect resources which could have been used to create these works. One of the images was of an apocalyptic Paris with factories pumping pollution into a jet black sky, the land is baron and dead. A young child is sat down with a gas mask with tattered oily clothing clutching onto a single blooming flower, a salvation of life and colour. While I was looking up material and resources for this example I noticed that I was intrigued and drawn towards this particular image. It made me think on think about this game The game is 'Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon' for Nintendo Wii, as a raw game experience it really isn't all that special, but the context and the environments and the deeper meaning behind it all resonated with this same experience I had at college. Now I can look at art and begin reading into the meaning and the reasoning behind all sorts of things. Inspired? More like actually changed my life and thankfully this niche little title pointed me in the right direction. Trust me I could go on and on about my experience, so I'll cut it short. |

For me it was definitely Half-Life 2. If it weren't for HL2 I probably wouldn't have gotten a Game Art degree that I can't do anything with now. :P ::) |
