Three New Articles at Gamelynch (Destiny)

This is at least the second time I've heard Andre Tarkovsky's name invoked to describe Destiny. It makes me vaguely uncomfortable and excited at the same time because Tarkovsky is one of my artistic heros, but he's not necessarily someone I would expect to be name-dropped in connection with a video game. Am I biased against video games? Maybe. Can video games be high art? I don't know. The Last of Us got closer than I thought possible, so maybe.

Listening to their list of inspirations is like riding a roller coaster--I've never seen Lost and based on what I know, I have no interest in it. Granted, I can be a snob about things. Can't wait for this game to come out so we can judge it by what it is, and not by what it's inspired by.
