  • Phillips says the key appeal of these games lies in the art of crafting a
    collaborative narrative. "Collaboration in storytelling is an old tradition,
    even older than print. All our stories are ultimately descended from this sort
    of back-and-forth oral tradition," she says. "So you could say we're working to
    reclaim something we lost hundreds of years ago when we first started recording
    narratives with pen and paper, and later with film."

  • "The fact that the genre is growing up is exciting. The opportunities are
    limitless. You can easily see how they might be used in a training setting in
    business, or in a medical environment to teach doctors how to cope with
    large-scale crises. What will be really exciting is when biometric information
    can be more easily integrated into gameplay. For instance, a real-world game
    that delivers challenges based on heart rate or other physical criteria."
