A brand new documentary is incoming, charting the rise of videogames from the early days through to today. Here's the trailer.
We're surprised that there haven't been more documentaries along these lines, so we're really quite looking forward to this. Video Games: The Movie is going to tell the story of gaming, from the very early days, to the multi-billion dollar franchise-dominated world of today. Directed by Jeremy Snead and executive produced by Zach Braff, Sean Astin narrates this one. It features interviews with lots of interesting people to do with videogaming as well, right down to Nolan Bushnell.
Here's the trailer for the film, which gets a limited theatrical opening in the US and a video on demand release in July. Looks interesting...

Do the same "anointed" few (i.e Chris Hardwick) have to be dragged out to speak for "us" like EVERY time?
They're the ones that mainstream (non-gamers) might recognize.
Hardwick = Nails on a Chalkboard. Was all set to get behind Wil Wheaton's new SF weekly show, but stepped right off when none other than Mr. Hardwick walks onset in the 1st episode (!), chopping what little momentum Mr. Crusher might've had...
You don't have to like Hardwick, but they were dorm-mates in college & have been friends ever since. So, there's that.
