Review of Video Games: The Movie (2014) by William M — 29 Aug 2016

A well meaning doc that is literally all encompassing without being brand specific, checking off the various anthropologic landmarks for the Video Game industry, ranging from the first system and the parts that were built in and around at MIT, to the formation of the Atari and Nintendo powerhouses in the early days along with the 1983 ET crash, to the trending graphics leaps and bounds that seem to be heading to the Occulus Rift generation for immersive gameplay.

Its interesting if basic, and as an audience member would be kind of cool to go more in depth on certain points, since there are the token references to the ratings commission for the violence and such in games, and the competition for the console wars between Sega and Nintendo and the spun off Playstation, to geek culture in general.

Would have been a little cooler for them to go a little more in depth just to adds some more layers to the proceedings but for the neophytes does the trick and for more compelling stuff go straight to the King of Kong and Game Over: the Atari/ET story.
