I just saw this over on Kotaku.com. Great stuff, very classy. A clip of Ico would have been nice. That was one of the few games that made me care about the characters.

Music is by Lackluster.

I'm not a huge gamer (my kids are) but I really liked this, too. Felt bad, I know it should be in the Video game collective, I still wanted to post it...

This is Kotaku's writeup;

"Australian machinima artist, Thuyen Nguyen, has put together this terrific little piece called The Most Powerful Person In The World that he refers to as "a love letter to video games." Tired of the negative representation of video games in the media recently, Nguyen decided to create his own counterpoint in the form of this four minute video. Accompanied by a soothing soundtrack by Lackluster, Nguyen manages to compile all his game footage in a manner that recalls something you might see at a high end art museum show on the medium of gaming. Great stuff and well worth a viewing or two."

Given that is it worth an *art tag?

This is great, makes me proud to be a gamer. Every now and then videogames can go beyond entertainment, and become culturally and artistically important on the level normally reserved for painters and poets.
