Video Games are the Greatest Art Form

The idea of video games as art has been a minor topic of discussion for over a decade. As the capabilities of video games expanded, so have the ideas of what constitutes a video game.

Thursday 12-14-17: Pokemon Crystal, The Walking Dead, and Private Division

Thursday is here, and so is some more news!

  • Pokemon Crystal on 3DS eShop
  • Overkill’s The Walking Dead Trailer
  • Take-Two announces Private Division

Pokemon Crystal
Hype was made last year when Nintendo released a digital version of Pokemon Red and Blue for the 3DS eShop. This features the ability to trade and battle wirelessly, as well as interact with the Pokemon Bank to store your Pokemon. Recently Nintendo announced a release date for Pokemon Crystal for the 3DS eShop. This is more or less what I described above, but with Pokemon Crystal. It will release on the 3DS eShop for $9.99 on January 26. There’s also a trailer for it you can watch here.

Overkill’s The Walking Dead
A new trailer was released teasing the upcoming The Walking Dead game being developed by Overkill. The video follows a young black adult by the name of Aiden. It goes from his stressful life of metropolitan business to zombie-ridden streets. The trailer does an amazing job of portraying that “I’m sick of my life and would rather be a zombie killing badass” we all have felt at one point in our lives. You can watch it here.

Private Division
Take-Two, the publisher of games like Grand Theft Auto V, has announced a new publishing label called Private Division. This label will have a special focus on indie developers. It will begin with Kerbal Space Program, which Take-Two acquired back in May. They have a trailer announcing the label, you can see it here.


An interesting collection of news, though I don’t have many thoughts about it this time. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the latest news stuff and things. Otherwise, have a great night!
