Games Can’t Do Drama? Yeah, Okay… But You’re Missing The Point [Dealspwn]

Dealspwn's News Editor Jonathan Lester faces down Mike Newell's controversial statement that 'Games can't do drama'... and agrees with it?! Not quite.

Lester writes: "This week’s gaming headlines have been fairly dull, with the industry focused on quarterly financial reports and lost profits rather than doling out thick globs of controversy for critical vultures like me to pick at relentlessly. However, like a naive lamb ready for the slaughter, Price of Persia’s director has stepped up to the plate with a juicy divisive comment. Speaking to CVG, Mike Newell proudly stated:

“Well, here we are, talking about the God damn games again. The answer is yes, of course they can become a threat to Hollywood. But [they can't] do so with drama in any real sense."
