Final Fantasy should be there instead of Killzone

low budget games aren't art? umm.... have you ever heard of independent games? Games like The Blob, Gish, Everyday Shooter, flOw, AudioSurf, Darwinia, DEFCON, Eets, Chaos Theory, etc?

I'm sorry but your point about low budget games was just crushed completely.

But to completely destroy your argument. Hollywood movies tend to end up going into sequel hell. Independant Films are always new, different, low-budget, and pretty good. Even indie film's worst, for example Dragon Wars, beats the hell out of most of Hollywood's typical crap they put out.


 I'm not sure if you were reffering to me or my post, but my point was that low budget games like Darwinia ARE the artistic side of it, not the high budget formulaic games that get praised as the height of the medium.

The first 3 Star Wars movies had low budgets to my knowledge.

@SSJ12

I am a HUGE Star Wars fan but dude....It DID NOT win LOADs of awards....& it didn't win any major awards...like best film...

@colonelstubbs

@KingOfWale

Well it definetely won special effects...apart from that dunno

But Titanic & LOTR both won Best Movie....thats HUGE for a mainstream film in the oscars
