Very interesting video clip show us the development of games through time. They evolved from just a few dots on oscilloscope display to a surreal environment which is very similar to reality. What is to be expected next in the evolution of video games? Are there any limits left?
We can already see sweat, particles of sand falling by the laws of the real physics and many more special effects. New games are invading almost every aspect of
