James Paul Gee, the author of "Why Video Games Are Good for Your Soul," will talk about video games as an art form on Feb. 28 Academy for Creative Media

"Stories in Video Games: Toward a New Art Form" will be held 3 to 4:30 p.m. Feb. 28 at Kuykendall Hall, room 410, and is open to the public.

Is plot important to video games? And are video games an art form? Gee will discuss those issues and "argue that a key to how to deal with narrative in video games can come from work on human thinking and problem solving in cognitive psychology," he said in a written statement.
