@Infamous23: All of those writers are the exception rather than the rule. 99% of books that deal with what could be considered pulp material are...well, pulp.
A great writer makes the difference. What you listed are great writers.
Same with games: they can have pulpy stuff if they want and still be quality...if they're handled by a very quality developer. God of War, for example.
However, 99% of games that appeal to their audience with sensationalist covers, professed "maturity", excessive violence, sexualized dolls of women and so on....are just that, trash.
It's a hell of a tougher sell to get adults to buy games about apes and plumbers.
Games, at their heart, are defined as good or bad, pulpy or artistic, by how good of a game they are. And that's what Nintendo does best. Embracing gameplay and foregoing market appeal, "mature" image, and demographic targeting is a hell of a lot more mature than slapping a hyper-muscled dude and a nice pair of tits and ass on your gun-and-exploding alien infested box art.
Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.
