I just saw NGE two years ago and loved it. Every episode is hilarious; I've never laughed so hard as I did when a friend and I watched the last episode together.

Rocketpig, I hadn't considered games as potentially competing with movies. Now that you bring it up, I can see it, but I long ago gave up trying to really 'get' greatness in art, so I'm afraid that's not much of an endorsement. I'd always pictured them as trying to approximate 'The Little Prince'. Something of a "here's a world, now be free" sort of thing. I thought that Mario 64 and Shadow of the Colossus were fairly artistic. The key for me has always been a fully-imagined world that the player doesn't feel constrained by - games, for me, have always been exercises in freedom. I can understand the movie thing, but I just can't feel it.
