When was the last time you saw a film that was truly as poorly made as something like Rogue Warrior? Even if the story isn't great they're at least competent, and that's something that can't be said for all games. Still - many are missing out if they don't experience Planescape. It has one of the finest stories ever told in any medium.

I'm seriously a little ticked off at the fact that 99% of people who are interested in litterature and film dismiss videogames as a medium to tell great stories. Even among gamers, Torment isnt very well known. Just imagine this being made into a book. I know there is one but its a dumbed down version apparently and that defeats the entire point because "dumbed down" and "planescape torment" should never meet ends.
