Although UBI has already produced an Avatar game, they missed the mark by not making it an MMO. I have no intention of even buying the game unless it is a persistent multiplayer online world. I grew bored with first-person shooters and player vs computer strategy games a long time ago. MMOs are the only games I play now and face it, they are the wave of future gaming.

Avatar would make a really great MMO. I bet that it could even give WOW a run for it’s money. As the game is now, I predict that it might gain popularity for a brief time because of the movie’s success, but it will fade fast. An MMO on the other hand, I predict, would have real and lasting popularity.

If you feel the same way as I do, go to http://avatargame.us.ubi.com/#/dashboard, log in (or make an account), and post it on their forums. There is a thread already for this at http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/6391049957/m/7421042628. If enough people show an interest, maybe UBI will come up to the 21st century and make a truly modern game of Avatar; a MMO!

Saw Avatar last night at the Cobb theater in Westly Chapel, Fl. What an awesome movie!! What an awesome theater to see it in!!

The theater had a balcony with large, comfortable chairs. We where served a meal and drinks at our seats. The lobby was magnificent and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Theaters really need to step it up a notch to compete with other media, and this one, in my opinion, has done just that. I highly recommend going there, not just to see a movie, but to experience it.

Now for the movie. It’s really beyond words. It’s 3 hours an 14 minutes long, but seemed much shorter. The integration between what was filmed and the special effects was seamless. The story was captivating and the scenes breathtakingly beautiful. It was tempered with the right amount of action, drama, and love scenes. You don’t have to be a fan of scifi to really enjoy this movie.
