An Emerging Medium & Maturing Industry
In games such as Black and White, worlds evolve in real-time in relation to players' activities and choices. Other games, such as Jet Grind Radio, incorporate rhythm, role-play, social commentary, or unique aesthetics. As games develop, they draw from more traditional fields of study and application, such as theater, dance, psychology, and architecture and are becoming a realized, multi-faceted art form.

game designers have begun to explore new potentials for interactivity.
