the nature of the medium allows one to create games that don't have "writing", per se—where the "narrative" is the emergently-developing narrative you the player are telling yourself as you play. in this way, games have the potential to be fundamentally different than all other forms of linear storytelling. I still enjoy story-centric games, but as time goes on, I find myself looking more and more for something different and better. some of my best and most meaningful experiences with games have been these emergent narratives. it would be nice if more people tried to make games like this, because it's really something you can't get anywhere else, aside from a tabletop RPG (but even then, that's different, too).
