Nrcnext column on game documentaries

Posted by David on January 21, 2013 in Journalism · 0 Comments

Documentaries on games are terrific ways of showing the intricacies of modern day game culture and game design. There are movies on esports related themes such as the hilarious The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007), Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters (2011) or the Dutch made Beyond the Game (watch it online here). The reason to write my column is the recent influx of Kickstarter backed game docs. I particularly recommend Minecraft: The Story of Mojang!
