Well, now that it is being recognized, I can tell the ladies that I am an artist. Rather than "I'm making a game".... :p

I don’t know what was the criteria, but Journey in my opinion is the best game I’ve ever played. And I called it a masterpiece back when I played it, refusing to call it a game, but a playable experience.
