WTMG's Aaron Price: "Revisiting Judgement is always a treat, especially now, ten years after its release. It received a lot of hate for its changes upon release, but it has aged like an average quality wine. It’s not perfect, but it’s more than worth a playthrough, which leads me to the last thought on the game, as little as I’m looking forward to it… it’s time to try for all the challenge stars in the campaign on Insane difficulty. Pray for me."

GETL Podcast says: "In episode 81 we discuss the interesting nuance surrounding narrative and lore elements within video games, and how this interactive medium is both a boon and a curse for lore junkies".
The short answer is, it depends on the game and whether or not narrative is the focus. For example, maybe it's important to provide us with the social commentary that accompanies the fall of civilization as we come face to face with the dark side of humanity in the struggle for survival. On the other hand, maybe we just need to shoot zombies, and that's cool too. The videogame medium is versatile enough to allow for either approach, some combination of both, or something in between.
