THE world of video gaming has changed and continues to do so.

Many of us will only have experiences from the early days of the technology.

But right under our noses the experts have been making amazing technological advancements the like of which are stunning when you witness them. The Chinese Room, in Brighton, has created such a stunning game that it is being celebrated with the soundtrack being played in a concert at the Barbican.

It is a moment where two worlds will collide wonderfully.

When silent movies became talkies it started a development which has developed into films having wonderful orchestral soundtracks. Specialists like John Williams have had their work celebrated with Oscars for the likes of Star Wars and Schindler's List.

And now with video gaming having advanced in a similar way, the experience is being celebrated and recognised as being as culturally significant by many.

In the bedrooms of teenagers now they are not watching films, they are playing video games or they are watching people play video games on YouTube.

This is big business and Brighton and Hove is thankfully home to big thinkers in the industry.

The Chinese Room's Dear Esther has been a fantastic success with more expected to follow.

To continue the comparison, it would have been difficult to imagine a film industry taking on the likes of Hollywood here. But the great thing is that we can have huge success in video gaming in offices in the city.

The pioneers currently making groundbreaking moves love to do it here which is fantastic for the city.

We need to seize on this success and make it does not stay under the radar.
