MTV Multiplayer writes: "While industry veterans have been criticizing the state of storytelling in games, Naughty Dog lead game designer Richard Lemarchand thinks the situation is quite the opposite.
"I think we're in the middle of this incredible renaissance in video games," he said at the 2008 Games for Change festival earlier this week in New York. "We've had this huge explosion of creativity in the last few years."
Speaking on a panel with other industry bigwigs about how social-change games can be profitable for the mainstream games business, Lemarchand, who worked on "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune," said he evens thinks games can be as socially impactful as great literature."
