Video games, hate them or love them, play them or not, their growing influence and place within today’s society is undeniable. Gaming has always been a hot button issue, disputed since Space Invaders and Pac-Man arrived in arcades across the world in the early 70s and 80 and continuing to present day. It’s been almost forty years since their arrival, and while the systems have gotten smaller and the graphics better, the opinions only ever grew louder. Do they improve memory and motor skills? Can they influence violent behavior and cause depression? The arguments split us all and while facts can be found amidst the fog, the most crucial fact of all seemed to be forgotten, what was gaming created to do? The answer has ever remained the same, to bring people closer, to invoke a thoughtful and unique experience for players, to take people to places they could only dream of going. So many games over so many years, so many incredible worlds to explore, but what if some of them existed in reality? Controversy or not, opinions aside, we all love to travel, so let’s take a moment to look at 5 video game destinations you can explore in real life.
