Gaming Documentaries (LOOK!!! i added new ones)
Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2014 11:48 am
Recently and over the last year i have watched quite a lot of gaming documentaries. I find them really intriguing and as gaming is a hobby and has been a hobby of mine for years i find documentaries that show what impact games have on lives and also behind the scenes on games very interesting. Some documentaries can be boring but so far i have watched about 5-6 that are brilliant at least for me. Some have been officially released on DVD or cost so can be bought digitally but i have also found a few good ones on youtube.
Noclip Documentaries
Here's one i really enjoyed and i'm not even in to Dota but it's an interesting watch about the world of competitive DOTA 2 gaming.
Conversations with creators is also very interesting, not really documentary but more interview based with developers on their history and current games,as a Destiny fan i especially enjoyed the Bungie one.
Minecraft: The story of Mojang - I really enjoyed this one even though i have never played Minecraft (free on youtube)
I Am Street Fighter - 25th Anniversary Documentary - I thought this one was brilliant as i have been playing street fighter for years mainly since STreet FIghter 2 in the early nineties. (free on Youtube)
Indie Game: The Movie - This is just the trailer but it can be streamed on Netflix and also purchased from the official website.
The King of Kong - Again another trailer but this can be found i think on Netflix as well.
Ecstasy of Order - Tetris Masters - I had not heard of this one before and only found it after doing a good bit of searching online but i would highly recommend it. The documentary is along the lines of King of Kong but mainly based around the first ever Tetris tournament. (no idea if you can buy this i had to find a torrent for it)
Rise of the Video Game
And the final one which is on my next to watch is The Last of Us documentary. This is free on youtube.
If anyone has any further recommendations then please say so , i can't get enough of these and i can add the trailers to the opening post if people would like me to keep a list. I am sure i'm not the only one who loves watching these type of documentaries.
