LONDON, England (CNN) -- There's more to someone's identity than a social security number, passport photo and set of fingerprints but it's difficult to define exactly what else it is. Is it what the public sees or the inner self? Some would argue that virtual identity is a truer reflection of self than someone's image in the real world.
Photographer Robbie Cooper has studied the relationship between gamers' real and online identities, taking photographs of the two images for the book he co-authored, 'Alter Ego: Avatars and their creators'. Cooper fuses together real portraits and virtual images of dozens of gamers and investigated if people's digital representations in role-playing environments were an echo of their true selves.

Thanks to the imminent release of a Japanese language version, more Nipponjin are set to live a "Second Life," with critics warning the online game could be a danger to those who don't even have a first one, according to Shukan Shincho.
"Normally in online games you become a character and you go around having adventures, clobbering other characters, or whatever. But in 'Second Life,' the game operated by the American company Linden Research Inc., there's no particular goal. It's almost like a simulation of the real world and in this virtual reality you have fun communicating, living and doing all sorts of different events," an IT insider tells Shukan Shincho.
