Computer Games in Remediation

The chapter, Computer Games, in Remediation talks about a variety of ideas but I like the ideas of the status quo and how these ideologies stem from film and television. Interestingly, the ideological aspects of the status quo are reestablished by asking the player to defend the action of violence. Examples the authors give are: Space Invaders, Doom and Quake. Furthermore, it is argued that video game violence stems from films through the form of 3D graphics, and narrative functions. Although these examples are outdated, one can most likely look for the same status quo ideas in more modern video games and movies. Indeed, video games are a reflection of movies and television.
