Frogger...Now in 3D!

Popular Mechanics argues that the real future of TV lies not in movies or television but in gaming. Makes sense to me. After all, video games are geared towards immersion, which makes 3D their natural ally. 3D films are gimmicky--watch out, that flying rock is gonna bash you in head! 3D games resemble reality, albeit a reality in which you tote around guns the size of Volkswagons.

So bring on the 3D games! 3D Pacman: the ghosts come flying right into your face! 3D SimCity: When the people flee from the tornado you yourself summoned, they run past you, screaming! 3D Space Invaders: It gets infinitely harder as you face enemies coming from an infinite number of directions! What fun!
