Warning: Spoilers
For those of you who couldn't get enough of "Gamer" or "Stay Alive" we have this modest production. A group of the world's top gamers who happen to be loners are offered a $100,000 prize to compete. They don special suits. They enter a 3D graphic world where they find weapons and must work their way down through 25 levels to get to the basement battling armed terrorists. When you die in cyberspace, the suit kills you. Attempts to escape or circumnavigate the rules are severely punished.

It was a good concept and the plot elements and scenery was decent. The characters were diverse but not entertaining. Where was that one character we hated to see die? We need to get attached to the characters before they start to slaughter them. And plot spoiler, the black guy dies first, like in every cliché American horror film. How much would it have cost to have Jim Parsons to do a cameo as the game designer or the computer voice? Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
