Top 5 "real life" video games

For most people, playing "live" video games begins and ends with table tennis in the garage (AKA 'Pong').

But some die-hard gaming fans have taken it to a whole new level. Here are our favourite inventive video game recreations; from Mario Kart in a supermarket to Space Invaders in a lecture hall. 

Real life Mario Kart 

Crazy Frenchman Remi Gaillard recreates Mario Kart, complete with white vans, motorbike gangs and angered parking wardens. Who hasn't imagined flinging a deadly banana at that idiot who sped off the second the lights turned green?

Real life Portal

Every present we open this Christmas, we'll secretly be hoping for a Portal gun. We deserve it more than the clowns who made this video.

Angry Birds Live

OK we realise it's a T Mobile ad which equals footage of happy-go-lucky pedestrians and commuters taking snaps of zany group activities. But at the same time, anyone who's ever played Angry Birds would probably like a go at catapulting "real" birds into trees and strangers you don't like the look of.

Real life Space Invaders 

The Royksopp Happy Up Here video gets an honourable mention but can't match the sheer dedication of this lot who swapped seats in a lecture hall and turned it into stop motion Space Invaders magic.

Real life Pac Man 

Remi's back (see Mario Kart) and this time he's running around a supermarket, golf course and a pool bar dressed as Pac Man. Where does this guy find the time?
