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."
