Video Games That Look and Feel Like Movies

These days we have more sources of entertainment vying for our attention than ever before. The TVs in the corner of the room, ready to serve literally hundreds of channels. Online gambling, poker and bingo sites are an appealing allure to get a buzz on a Friday night. There is always a good old fashioned book too.

Over recent years videogames have reached heights that would been unimaginable a decade ago. Virtual reality technology can make you feel like you are actually in a game or movie. The power of the machines on which we play games, even those that are portable, and the graphics cards, have made things so realistic. Pixels are invisible to the naked eye, actors are used to map movements, and voice actors contribute to the realism. Let’s take a look at some of the top videogames that really do look and feel like movies. These games will tempt you away from the TV, and even the best casino and best bingo sites, like bingosweets.com, and have you enthralled by the beautifully created worlds you are interacting with.

The Last Of Us

This zombie game is about the most realistic, movielike game you are likely to encounter at this stage of videogame development. The game tracks a teenage girl and a man as they go across country trying to evade militia and zombified monsters. The post-apocalyptic environment is surreal but realistic. It is a bleak setting, but the characters really come to life and are easy to connect with. You will be amazed at just how authentic and realistic this game looks and feels.

The Walking Dead Season One

The atmosphere of the television show, the Walking Dead, is dark and full of mood elements. The game mirrors this environment incredibly well. The characters are easy to identify with, and the gameplay is tense. The story of the game is about the struggle to find Clementine’s parents. As you play this game you will feel like you are immersed in the story, just as you do when watching a great film.

Heavy Rain

This is one of the games that had received the least acclaim on this list. However, it is a visual feast befitting of the cinema. This thriller genre game features a serial killer attempting to murder the main character’s son. There are plot twists aplenty and the gameplay is compelling. The storyline moves to and fro as you make your decisions. This is straight out of the movie genre that houses films like Zodiac and Seven. If you love them you will simply adore this game.

Another game that is worth a mention is Star Wars: The Old Republic. What graphics!

With new technology on the horizon, videogames are only going to improve further. It is an exciting time to be a video game fan.
