Game on for physicists

You could be a battle-hardened space marine or a medieval adventurer cutting swathes through dark hordes. But one thing is certain: you are going to have to obey the laws of physics, because even the best heroes feel the force of gravity on a planet's surface. As computer games get ever-more sophisticated, it is therefore no surprise that implementing the laws of physics realistically is becoming increasingly important for a high-quality "gaming experience". This is certainly good news for physicists who fancy trying their hand at games development.
