Andy Serkis: Game... Has No Heart
In an interview with Babble.com, Andy Serkis, an actor known as Gollum in Lord of the Rings, and the title character in the recent King Kong remake, talked about his movies and family. When asked about video games' influence to his children, Serkis answered as a father: "Games -- there's no heart in them".
"My children are beginning to play a lot of games. Games -- there's no heart in them. They're not about anything that is lasting. We put so much into the writing of film scripts and plays, but not into games. And games are where the audience is going to be. In the next generation of kids, you're going to see a lot of storytelling in games. And I think it's important to invest in that. I absolutely think that gaming is a massive storytelling arena in the making and now the technology has arrived to do that. It's a fascinating time."
