Looking back at the history of video games makes us all very nostalgic. In the retro days, video games were a very pixelated and flat medium, evolving to an incredibly cinematic and immersive experience today. We at Game Evolutions have a great passion for video games of many different genres, that is how Game Evolutions came to life. All our popular "Evolution of..." video shows the huge progress video games have undergone and the industry is growing year by year. A video from us takes 15+ hours to produce. We put significant time into researching, looking in the archives, recording, and finally editing.
