2 h. ago Maximum points: what is the most influential video game ever?

As Bafta launches a survey asking the public to nominate the most influential game of all time, we asked people from across games and culture for their picksAhead of the 21st Bafta games awards this April, the institution is running a public survey asking people to nominate the most influential video game of all time. As the survey points out, this is an open-ended question: early, groundbreaking titles such as Space Invaders and Pong regularly crop up as answers because they helped write the rules of the form, but on a personal level, the right game at the right time can be exceptionally influential, too. For players, it’s often the games that made us feel differently about what games could do that feel the most influential. For a game designer, a film director, a writer or a musician, one particular game might inspire a whole creative era.Inspired by Bafta’s survey, we asked people from across games and culture for their most influential game – and not one name cropped up twice.

4 h. ago ‘A certain kind of chaos’: Errol Morris unpacks Charles Manson theories

The esteemed documentarian looks back at the shocking murders with a new lens, questioning how much anyone really knows about why it happened“I’m quite convinced that, no matter what I say, I’m not going to be able to convince you to kill for me,” film-maker Errol Morris says drily. “And, alas, I have to say that I don’t have the desire to kill anybody or to convince you to kill on my behalf. It just isn’t there. Call it a weakness of will or weakness of character.”This is not a sentiment that an interviewer is used to hearing from an interviewee. But it makes more sense in context. Morris, who has previously worked as a private detective, is discussing his new documentary, streaming on Netflix from Friday, which challenges official accounts of the most infamous killing spree of the 1960s.

5 h. ago Twiggy review – breezy telling of sunny star’s landmark career

Sadie Frost’s documentary follows the working-class Londoner taking bad luck in her stride as she progresses from fashion to film stardom and back againThis feelgood film directed by Sadie Frost is about the 60s fashion icon Twiggy; originally Lesley Hornby from Neasden in London, latterly Lesley Lawson after her marriage to actor Leigh Lawson, and then Dame Lesley Lawson with her DBE in 2019. (That is how she was gazetted, at all events, although Dame Twiggy has a ring to it.) With comments from A-listers including Edward Enninful and Suzy Menkes, it tells us the story of a working-class heroine with an almost eerily beautiful gamine face who became a fashion legend with a pop-star status that eluded earlier figures such as Jean Shrimpton, though without the smouldering attitude of the supermodel generation that came later.Twiggy made a glorious success of her life, and never conformed to any tragic narrative about how triumph in the ephemeral world of fashion and fame must surely ...
