Reading Too Much Into It?: Bioshock

Sidestepping the debate whether video games can be art, the author begins his series of articles talking about the 2008 game Bioshock for it's deeper imagery and themes.

Author John Catuira says in his article:

"Can video games evoke deeper thought in ways that we usually see with literature? In other words, have video games evolved beyond flashy lights and bleeps and bloops? As pointed out in the art debate, video games still suffer the stigma of being play things for children or the obsession of basement dwelling social misfits. But can a group of reasonable people sit down to discuss video games in terms of imagery and themes?" (Industry, PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
