30 Gametastic Wonders

From Sarah Palin Cameos to Gaming on the John

Oh the wonderful, wonderful Pong that we all used to know and love. It has come so far since then in the world of interactive gaming (video games, if you will).

Games have evolved from a simple pastime into a lifestyle. Video games have become more realistic in just about every aspect (for anyone who has ever played Grand Theft Auto), more interactive (motion sensor controllers, etc.), and yes, slightly more vulgar (ok more than slightly).

Gaming has become 10 times the experience it was in the old days, but still, one must never forgot where they came from. From sports, to Pac Man, to wicked controllers, I present to you 30 innovations from the history of gaming.
