Real, virtual worlds intersect in Bricolage's 'Neighborhood 3'

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "Neighborhood 3 is a community where distinctions between virtual and actual reality are intriguingly murky. It's as difficult to tell them apart as it is to separate the living from the living dead."

While zombie horror games are a strong staple of the video game world, I actually wonder how publicly accessible a play revolving around hard-core gamers and a game that sounds disturbingly like a mix of the .hack//sign series and Left 4 Dead really can be. Gaming like all cultures has it's own slang, personalities, stereotypes, and self perpetuating issues that sometimes are only known about to those within the culture. While it sounds like this play is more about parents of those who play video games, I still wonder how people who have had no or very littler interaction with video games will respond to the play.
