I'm curious if any other
TLO members are video gamers, and if so, have you encountered any games with a Ligottian feel?
I'm a casual gamer, and no expert on the subject, but I'm playing an Xbox title now called
Manhunt (from the same company that does the
Grand Theft Auto games). This game has atmospheric parallels to
MWINYD, with its depiction of the dilapidated streets of Carcer City, a generic stand-in for any American rustbelt city (Erie, Pennsylvania comes readily to mind for me).
Almost as soon as I started playing this game, it made my think of the locale of
MWINYD. The game's storyline is obviously much simpler than a TL story, and has to rely on graphic violence for a lot of its impact, but the atmospheric touches of desolation, isolation, fear, and a touch of madness all ring true.
I'm curious if anyone else has made similar connections between video games and TL stories?
