Gamer!

Intriguing reflection of next generation gaming. Blood. Gore. High-octane action. All the ingrediants for an action flick. Some scenes of this movie that centered on the social world of gaming represented the current Playstation Home where gamers all over the world use their 3D avatars to interact with one another, get updated on mainstream media for movies and games and design their own house. In reality, the gaming industry is constantly pushing the envelope of realism. How far can we go to have the player fully engaged into the gaming world? This movie envision's the future that eventually we might use real life people as avatars to replace 3D animation. Honestly? I cannot fathom the idea of that becoming the future of gaming. To have your body fully plugged into a game and have no control or having full control of another person is trully horrifying. But in the direction we are going as society, we're getting close. The plot of this movie might not be an Oscar winner but it is definitely accurate in today's world of gaming. Nevertheless, several scenes from this movie had me awestruck by its technological advancements. So yea, it was really cool to see how far we can go to interact with games. Scary and yet awesome.
