Nothing gets me buzzing faster than a good game trailer for a title that I’m excited about, but what we’ve got here is something different. An apparent PlayStation 3 fan has created a very unique video that is rocking YouTube right now. It has gained over 5,000 hits in the past few hours and is likely to skyrocket to fame from here, with many major publications posting it on their sites.
Personally, I interpret this video as a ‘why we play games’ tribute but it’s likely that non-gamers are going to have a very different interpretation. Some are saying this video is one of the coolest things they’ve seen in a while, but others are claiming that it could be bad for games based on how the non-gaming media will view it.
It’s just below. See for yourself and be sure and let us know what meaning you get from it.

not sure about this one. its cool enough but i can see fox news now, “A new Playstation ad tells children to fight at at school and sneak out of the house. We’ll have more after this.”

What did kids do in 1950, 1960 and 1970… before video games….
They snuck out of the house,
They played football,
They pretended to be warriors with wooden swords and capes,
They pretended to be spacemen,
They played at being army men,
They fought in the school yard.
None of this changes with video games, and nor would it if video games were to disappear tomorrow.
Video game inspiration comes from the child that still lingers inside of us, the desire to pretend we’re something we’re not if just for a brief, imaginary while.
The more I think about it, the more I think this is what the video is hinting at.
