Videogames versus the real world - final round!

Over 30 more examples that virtual life is superior to actual life in (nearly) every way

Words: on April 9, 2009

Remember reality? That place to which your loved ones are always urging you to put down the controller and return? Completely overrated. And compared to the gloriously exaggerated world of videogames, completely underwhelming.

Bosses don’t have glowing weak points in the real world. Car crashes don’t reward bonus points and death isn’t solved with a continue. Plumbers don’t get princesses, archaeologists don’t work in bikinis and hedgehogs don’t run particularly fast. Evil supercomputers, robot dinosaurs and sexy vampires don’t even exist!

Just to be sure, though, we’re giving reality one last chance. After humiliating defeats in both Part One and Part Two of our versus showdown, can the stuff around you finally beat the stuff inside your gaming machine? Let’s find out.
