Grant Morrison On Battlestar Galactica Game

Thanks to GameSpot for their interview with Grant Morrison regarding his writing on the new Battlestar Galactica game. Morrison is the noted British comic-book writer known for titles such as The Invisibles, and says of the Galactica re-imagining: "There seemed to be endless dramatic possibilities in the big biblical sweep of the Galactica concept, so I went with warrior-monks, high-tech cloisters, and the doom-laden struggle of man against pitiless machine." He also suggests that, in writing for videogames, "...the script format is quite different from a comic book script or a movie script... more 'fractal,' for want of a better word."

    Indeed. I wouldn't have enjoyed Tetris nearly as much if it hadn't been for that great story line...
