"Game Moments" Article Index
Every so often, a videogame or computer game
transcends being just a diversion. Sometimes it hits you on an emotional
level. Other times, it's on an intellectual level, making you think about
life a little differently. Sometimes the 'shared world' of a multiplayer
videogame becomes just real enough to forge or strengthen real friendships.
Occasionally, they go from being entertainment to being ART.
Or sometimes you just get a really fun
story to tell out of it.
Here are some stories from the world of
videogames. Why we love 'em, and why they actually matter.
