Kuma Wrote: I am a gamer. When someone used to say those three words, it usually came with some stereotypes and ridicule of your maturity. It is now 2014 where gaming is part of the culture we live in now and I don’t think any of us would have thought that we hear the day a game becomes a sport. I still remember my first experience on the NES playing RC Pro Am, but it wasn’t until I got into my teens I realized that gaming goes back much further. The history of video games is a fascinating one and thanks to a few people that want to share that story with us all. However, was the story told well?
Succeeds at retelling the already well-documented history of the video game industry, yet provides little in the way of analysis, context, or even credible statistics.

A star-studded crowdfunded documentary makes a poor case for gaming's cultural legitimacy.
Grab It is reporting that Jeremy Snead, the director of recent documentary film Video Games: The Movie is planning to do more on our medium.
It's great that film makers are treating gaming with this kind of respect. The more the better if you ask me!
I love the topic, but the movie itself was kind of boring. Nothing new or interesting was really said about video games that hasn't been said before. I wish they focused more time or lesser know games and systems, such as the Dreamcast, Saturn, Neo Geo Pocket Color, etc. I guess that's what another movie/tv show is for?
Well I enjoyed it and my nonno(I am Italian ) who knows nothing about this industry was a real eye opener for him.
