Why
Formed in 2003, The New Gamer was established to provide a different critical perspective on videogames. We scrutinize the whole game, what it has to say, how the separate elements effect the player, and what each game brings to the burgeoning field of interactive entertainment. Simply put, we like to write about games.

I agree with you about Dogme 95 - one big joke that just wasn't too funny, no matter whether it was meant to be taken seriously or not. And prior to Dogville, I was no fan of Von Trier, but I think that effort (I haven't seen Manderlay yet) worked pretty well in theory and execution.
Still, I applaud his efforts to explore new techniques and devices to elicit specific responses from an audeince (to an extent). And I can understand his motives but ... we already play 'Lookey' enough while watching a film, just by trying to piece together the damn images in the first place.
