Welcome to For the Love of Fiction and our third video games themed episode where myself and Marc chat about two absolute classics, Portal and Bioshock. It turns out that both of these games have a lot of common in the way theytell their story, there is much discussion about video games as narrative devices, video games as movies, unreliable narrators and the place of exposition in the medium. Plus, thanks to Bioshock, Gav gets to bring up Jeff Noon, Ayn Rand and erm... Sharky and George?
Thanks for listening
