572nd Review: Excellent Documentary - Not Just For Gamers
17 July 2014
Simply a great documentary telling the development of console games from then to now - this is not a film just for geeks and gamers - it really is a great watch in itself. Director, Jeremy Snead with brilliant editing by Kenny Price have put together a film that shines with love and care.

Above all this like the best documentaries is informative and captivating - we not only have interviews with some of the best in the game world and its greatest fans - it does so without resorting to cliché or derision - it clearly is made by a team who care and love their project. That it was partially financed by Kickstarter is notable; sure there is an element of ploy in doing that, but it is a commendable one.

Above all, it conveys some of the fun and wonder that gaming produces - going from Pong to Ryse and beyond it is filled with gaming clips, music, and a strong streak of both nostalgia and insight - and anyone, gamer or not, should enjoy it - it is simply an excellent documentary - well made and a very good watch.
