Helium reports: "James Cameron's Avatar is a hugely succesful movie and the game was an obvious side-line. The basis of the game is that you are a member of the indigenous Na'vi and you will be using your skills as a hunter to win the battle against the Humans who are encroaching on your native planet, Pandora. The game does not follow the film storyline, instead it is set in the same place with the similar struggle."
PocketGamer: The Avatar movie was a strange beast. Visually, it was astounding, and the 3D effects embraced by cinema-goers worldwide were at times amazing to look at.
But the story was just FernGully meets Afghanistan. Of all the ways to re-hash the Pocahontas tale, doing so with an element called ‘Unobtainium’ on a planet called ‘Pandora’ was probably not the most subtle.
Anyone who's watched James Cameron's Oscar-winning "Avatar" can see the difference stereoscopic 3-D can make in a big screen event film when it's done correctly.
While prepping to film the next two "Avatar" movies back-to-back, Cameron has been keeping busy on the 3-D technology front with long-time partner Vince Pace. The pair recently won the George Wensel Technical Achievement Award for outstanding 3-D broadcasts at the 32nd annual Sports Emmy Awards for their work on the 2010 U.S. Open Championship on CBS.
3D is just so expensive right now, and I have a good job. If they can get 3D sets under $1000, I'll get one.
I bet James Cameron does think that... since his upcoming movies are all just a lot of CGI. IMDB actually has Avatar 3 already listed. The first one blew and I'd be willing to bet #2 will blow twice as hard.
yeah 3d will be big but not 3d tvs. The next thing will be holographic tv. 3d tv is simply the interim or another slice of the entertainment pie. Personally i like 3d when its done well but that doesn't improve the script....cough...avatar.....

I just want to play Uncharted 3 on a massive 3DTV because I've heard off many people that it is the best thing they have ever seen in 3D even better than Avatar, I can't miss an experience like that no way...
Msxbox-world has published a 3D specific review for James Cameron's Avatar for those of you with 3D TVs or if you're thinking about making the jump into the third dimension with your gaming.
