GamesCritics writes: "After about thirty years of being a mass medium, videogames have a few auteurs-people whose individual mark can be seen on a final product in spite of being created by a multi-person team. Undoubtedly, the big daddy of them all is Shigeru Miyamoto, who practically single-handedly saved the modern gaming industry from its downward swirl in the E.T.-laden toilet of the early 1980s. Some game makers insist that their moniker be in the title of the game, most recently Richard Garriott’s Tabula Rasa. Others, like Castlevania’s Koji Igarashi, can make one or two masterpieces, but then fall from grace, struggling to recapture their one spark of genius. Metal Gear’s Hideo Kojima is definitely an auteur, one whose fame and notoriety continue to rise the longer he continues to work."
