Do it! Do it! Do it!
Awesome, killer, fantastic proposal over at Game Girl Advance about studying videogames through the videogame format:

As silly as it may sound, I believe we need a video game that works as a text on video games. Would it be a difficult game to create, write, and execute? Well, hell yeah. But a game that could help sum up the history of games, put games and their styles in context and do it all by showing rather than telling would be an incredible tool for those people like myself who are trying to be "ludologists."

Somebody do this please. I cannot express how flat out, hands down, balls to the walls COOL it would be. Not only an analysis of why videogames kick the ass that they do,* but an analysis that can show you exactly why.

Pretty please? Somebody?
