Real Life Video Games

Well, color us impressed. Usually when we want to play Mario Kart, we spend thirty minutes looking for the Wii steering wheel, then just give up and re-watch the second season of 'Game of Thrones.' So, good for these guys! They've got enough initiative to make up for the rest of us...

Maybe next year accompanying everything with dubstep won't be a thing anymore. But it's not next year -- it's 2012, suckers. So here's a guy swinging a sword through a bunch of fruit, accompanied by dubstep music. It probably wasn't their goal, but they definitely make us want to do swing a sword through actual fruit more than play Fruit Ninja on our phones...

Video games are often praised for their life-like qualities -- the realistic graphics, the grabbing action, the way women are always wearing short shorts. (Er, scratch that last one.) These gamers, however, took it to the next level by literally bringing their favorite games to life. Check out some classic video games brought to life. Recreate these and you won't just feel like you're in the actio

If only we had spent more time mastering parkour and less time playing 'Assassin's Creed,' we would be able to go outside and play 'Assassin's Creed' for real (minus the killing and weird secret societies and stuff) like this guy. Instead we'll just watch him do it. And then play more video games.

From the man who brought you 'Real Life Super Mario Bros,' comes another installment in his series of video games in real -- this time it's 'RollerCoaster Tycoon.' AndrewMFilms takes the game out of the Xbox and puts it into a street, and then things turn ugly.

Without a doubt, the coolest part of the hit video game 'Portal' is the portal gun, a device which allows players to create wormholes in three-dimensional space. This visually-stunning fan video by Jason Craft attempts to show how the awesome weapon would operate in real-life.

While we've seen real-life reenactments of Angry Birds before, this effort has to be our favorite just for its pure firepower. Twelve-year-old Sam Beards from Warwickshire, England recreated the ultra-addictive video game on a grand scale by using a giant air cannon his dad had built to shoot pumpkins on Halloween.

We've logged countless hours and spent tons of money playing Pac-Man as a kid. But here's something we never thought we'd see -- a real-life representation of the pellet-gobbler's skull created by artist Gentil Garcon and paleontologist Francois Escuilie. Creepy!

University of North Carolina goalies Lassi Hurskainen and Dan Jackson use their feet to play a real life version of the absurdly addictive video game, 'Angry Birds.'
