For all the fans of the Playstation 3, enjoy the game system as much as you can, you may be losing it. This is not some system error like what you see with the Xbox 360. It’s not a virus or other outside influence. The item that may take down your Playstation is more intangible, […]

So many games, so little time.
Such is still the case when running between Santa Monica, California, hotels at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, the annual video game conve ntion that serves as a peek into the future of the multibillion-dollar interactive entertainment industry.
This year’s invitation-only show, with about 3,000 journalists and analysts, […]

Can a game based on a movie actually be good? There are some examples (very few) that say yes, but overwhelmingly the answer is ‘Hell No’. Still that doesn’t stop the attempts to cross market the projects.
One of the more promising of these movie-to-game scenarios is the recently announced Avatar. The good points are […]

Who is the big dog in Massively Multiplayer Online games? World of Warcraft (WoW) of course. But how big are they? 9 million players strong, and the MMO is about to hit China.
And some thought video games, and MMO’s in particular, were a fad.

With E3 done, and the least fanfare I’ve noticed since I learned about the show 4 or 5 years ago, the best of the upcoming games are being discussed and voted on. Far more famous magazines and websites are busy saying this is great or that will rock the video game world. Sometimes they are […]

Call me naive, but I just had no idea how much obsession is tied to OJ Simpson. Yes there can’t be a murder (involving a Black male) that makes the news and not have a reference to OJ. Yes there isn’t a murder of wives that goes by […]

Ok, there goes the virtual neighborhood. A colleague of mine send me a link to Educational Games Blog, and a particular post. My position on ads in-game is pretty well stated I think. Well this just confirms why the ads are not only not going away, but how much […]

For some of the younger gamers out there, have no fear. You are not forgotten. Not by me, nor Nickelodeon. Matter of fact, the company is going forward with plans to expand their casual online gaming exposure by100 million dollars. Now that is an investment.
The fact is that casual gaming is enjoyed by an estimated […]

Oh the joy and the pain. It seems you can’t get one without the other. Specifically I’m addressing the fact that Google stated at the recent Casual Connect game convention,
“Nope, no plans for a console, [Bernie] Stolar said. And no “Google Live,” no video-game portal, and no video-game search, […]

Is there any other news out there besides that of people trying to connect video games to violent crimes committed by people with apparently serious mental issues. From parents that prefer to feed themselves rather than their infants to a killer from across the pond. Yes even in Britian videogames are considered the root of […]

Some people are just stupid. Life is that simple most days. This is never more apparent than when some people take actions that endanger the lives of their children. As a friend of mine mentioned,
“Just because people can have kids, some just shouldn’t.”
Now you are probably wondering at […]

Well here is news that hasn’t come out of the E3 conference so far. It’s the latest trend in video games, and is on all the formats. If you own a Playstation, Xbox, Wii, or computer game you have seen the trend. It hasn’t reach the absolute annoying levels yet, but it’s coming. I’ll give […]

Well E3 has started, and already reviews are coming in. The result so far is, bland at best. Without the pizzazz of previous E3’s, the loss of huge crowds of fans, the tone has been racheted down significantly.
Of course a quieter, less over-the-top E3 was the goal of this […]

So are you a fan of Motcross? How about ATV’s or Monster trucks? Well there is something for all of you now, all at once.
I just read a very enthusiastic review of MX vs. ATV Unleashed, and by his account this is the game to get if you love offroad racing. With a load […]

Sometimes you just have to disagree with the top boss. Sometimes he is correct. In this case there is a mix of both. The boss I’m referring to is John Riccitiello, the top man at Electronic Arts (EA). I agree with him about the status of many game titles […]

Talk about mixed blessings. It was just announced that Microsoft will be extending the warranty on all Xbox 360 units to 3 years from the date of purchase. Normally that would be a great thing, especially since it is cost the mega-corp about $1 billion dollars. But there is a dark side to this universal […]

It’s interesting how video games are acknowledged as one of the fastest growing forms of entertainment and yet slapped down as being the leading cause of the downfall of civilization. The AMA wanted to say it causes addiction, various politicians have jumped on bandwagons from time to time to […]

For those into MMO (massive multiplayer online games) that prefer not to slay bands of orcs, or blast a dysfunctional robot, a growing industry has been emerging. Second Life has dominated this field, along with the Sims, but others are starting to gather steam.
Doppelganger is probably one of the most recent and best known in […]
