Glad to see you...

If the gaming industry is an automobile, and the game designers are the drivers, then that makes us, the players, backseat drivers, and we'll be damned if we're gonna let the industry keep on heading the way it's going (good or bad) without letting them know what we think. So buckle up, feel free to complain about there being no air in the back, and bring your most critical and analytical mind to the open air discussion of the current age, Backseat Gamers!

AVATAR

Avatar is like Fern Gully but with aliens instead of fairies.


If you have seen this, then you know why this deserves a post here. Even though my above statement is true, this movie is.... well, good. I havent even been home from seeing it for more than 15 minutes so I'm still trying to decide how I really feel. The short of it is that it is a MUST SEE in 3D if for nothing more than that. But the story is good, the visuals are stunning, and it even includes freaky alien sex. But in all, it felt like I was watching the cut scenes of a video game all spliced together. It works, and it works well.  I was very hesitant to go watch it in the first place but because of its story and "video game feel", it is a definite buy when it comes out on BD and I'm very interested to get all of your feedback.


One addition: my wife liked it amd agreed that it felt as though she was watching a video game. What really made it feel that way for her was the "bad guy" who seemed to have not motive behind his madness. I'd like to expand on this more but I'm trying to avaoid any spoilers.
