We Should Have Seen This Coming

Because we at the Egg are old, old people, most of the video-game revolution has passed us by.  Although we cherish fond memories of Ms. Pac-Man, and played our way through Myst, there hasn't been much since then.  Certainly, the world of highly-detailed first-person shooters is as obscure to us as, say, Dante is to the greasy teems who play them.

Anyway, it's a brilliant idea for EA, especially since it comes with ready-made sequels.  We're sure the team will have a field day animating Judas Maccabeus and William of Orange, from the Paradiso.  We're not so sure that St Peter Damian will be as stimulating.
