For any intrigued by the anthropological effects of online gaming (like myself) I would HIGHLY recommend this movie:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1183696/

Its an indy film out now - I downloaded it :P It is maybe THE fairest portrayal of the real life face of online gaming - shows really positive sides of WOW and Eq and another game - like a guy with MS (multiple sclerosis or however you spell it...not mortal strike :P) who gets to walk around and interact with the world thruogh WOW and people who meet and get married through WOW and such and have great lives...

It also shows you chinese gold farming sweatshops, addicts that play 20 hours a day, and such too hehehe

VERY very fair assessment of online gaming. Not at all a WOW basher by any means - the documentarians still play WOW even...this one will light up the indy film circuit i think...definitely catch it (or download it) if you can :)
