And another big thing: Prepare for 68 minutes of entertainment with Arenas. This is a crossover machinima that brings the characters of Doom III and Quake into an own plot together.
 This plot is explained quickly: Doom, a Space Marine, has to defend against waves of demons that have overrun his base. But when he is betrayed by is own men and tries to escape someone teleports him to The Arena.
It quickly becomes clear that all the fighters are prisoners of the system, doomed to fight each other again and again without any sign of an end or even freedom. But Doom is more like to get back into his own world. So he tries to find a way out of this arena.
You can see that the Doom III engine is quite old now. The textures of the characters appear very clean and the animations do not look that smooth. Generally, music is matter of taste but the soundtrack lacks a portion of atmosphere.
Still: The fact that the two universes have been brought together and embedded into a common, meaningful plot is something special and itself already an achievement worth to be pointed out. If that happens as a series that, summed up, has a runtime of more than one hour, one can only take off his hat to the makers.
This film definitely is something special compared to the many much shorter machinimas being released nowadays.
Have fun watching!

 Today we have a special kind of time travel for you. This time is not about games or machinima but the development of graphical performance and visuliyation on PC systems.
Perfect Hand Productions has cut together a film of many benchmarks and graphical demos that have been developed since the turn of the millenium. You will see many old and familiar scenes. But newer pieces with more up to date graphics are also shown.
Warning: Nostalgia alert!

 After a long time there finally arrives a nice Q3 trick jumping piece . It is called Edge of the Earth and apart from the the actual jumps it shines with one fact: all particle and text effects were rendered ingame. No After Effects was necessary for this - the only thing needed was q3mme.
But this movie is not only worth watching to see what is possible with this tool. It has a pleasant flow and the music fits very well. rEnk has done more than just a solid job here.

 Quake or QuakeWorld was one of the first first-person shooter games in which multiple players could compete against each other - completely in 3D. By that, it laid the foundation for probably the most popular genre of PC and video games. But it also set standards with its own game mechanics and speed and inpsired both gamers and developers worldwide.
The release by id Software was long ago. Successors followed. But there still is a community that gathers around the - quite old - original game and favors it over the many others, more mordern ones.
Dedicated to this very game and community is Team Quad - 16 Years of Dedication. The film was shot during a community meeting and shows interviews with some of the members. It explains what makes this game interesting even today and why there still are people, who play such an old game.
We strongly recommend this little excursion to the roots of one of the greates eSport classics of all time.

 After all these Call of Duty movies lately, we wanted to show you some good old-fashioned Counter-Strike. Action by Eko really stands out from the crowd with its gripping atmosphere combined with a great cut.
And it only runs for about 2 1/2 minutes, so we can assure you that you won't get bored. If you are looking for a quick dose of entertainment, Action will suit you very well!

 Another Call of Duty flick you might ask?! No sign of life for such a long time and then two Call of Duty movies in a row? Calm down, 8it is not just another one, it's very worthy of being presented to you!
rna the maker of 8it was already successfull with one of his earlier works, an homage to the Los Angeles based airport. I'm kidding, of course, but the movie was still entitled LAX and rocked pretty hard!
8it rocks equally hard! This time, rna references the good ole 8 bit era throughout the whole movie–-hence the title-–in an all-over well executed editing style. If you don't believe my words have a look for yourself!

... is down—for good, it seems. So the biggest European streaming service for gaming content vanishes. How sad.
We wish the whole own3D team all the best!

First things first: Now we finally honored the last element of the Holy Trinity of the Social Web with our presence. That means that you can keep yourself up to date on PV via Facebook, as well. Never missing any important update again is just one click on our Facebook Page and a second one on the Like button away.
Additionally, you can now much easier tell your friends and friend's friends of the great happenings here! :-)
We also have have made some minor and more or less obviously changes on this website, that we want to introduce to you:
- Most of you will have noticed the small box that is attached to the left side of the screen. With it you have the links to our channels and pages on YouTube, own3D, Twitter and now also Facebook quickly available. From now on it will only be faster with subscriptions directly on the particular pages!
- The download counter does not differ between downloads and stream views anymore but sums both to just "views".
- Probably the most important change for you: With today's update a download is not mandatory anymore in order to rate a video. By this we comply with the fact that many users see movies on other sites before finding them here. To not make the click on download plus the following waiting time reasons against rating altogether, we simply disposed of them.
- When clicking on a download you will not encounter an (not correctly functioning) advertisment anymore.
How do you like the changes? Do you use Facebook? Write feedback and tell us what you think about all these.

 It´s time for something different! Something non-Counter-Strike-ish if you know what I mean and if that´s even halfway proper English. However I don´t particularly care, because My Outro is a Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare movie, which made quite an impression on us!
My Outro takes you on a ride for four minutes, with its dedicated editing and fresh ideas. I couldn´t help myself, but I had to think of Eve while watching My Outro and that is quite an honor to be named in the same sentence with Eve.
In conclusion, don´t miss My Outro if you call yourself only remotely interested in Gaming Movies.
Additionally we want to give My Outro an  for its overall freshness and uniqueness. Bäm!

 The GMA 2011 winners have been decided (congratulations to Oui-!) and now we can get back to business as usual, which means presenting you new stuff or atleast almost new stuff!
Today we'd like to highlight Pacman 2. A movie from 2012 and one we are glad to be stumbled upon. It gives you all the things, one wants to see in a good gaming movie - a creative concept plus editing extremely well made. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did.
The second part is a major progression to the first Pacman-Movie, that you can also watch here at PV, of course.
