Portable game market

This is an increasingly popular sector as much as console games are getting. Especially the US market is expanding in this sector, eventhough 70% of the market is Nintendo DS dominated, what’s important is the remaining 30% witnesses the entry one and removal of the other. The PSP market in 2008 20% and the remaining for the iPhone OS (Nintendo was 75%). However in 2009, the PSP amounted to only 11% of the entire pie chart, 19% was the iPhone More

Shantae had headlined a game eight years ago. WayForward Technologies who had made the game where Shantae had figured as the dancer took that many years to make the sequel to that game now called Shantae: Risky’s Revenge. The game is now available for download.

Review of Hot Pursuit

Hot Pursuit, even though the game has the name of Need for Speed along with it, has more commonality with the other fast racing games. The game differs from most other same genre games in that it gives credit for driving dangerous even to the point of beating the enemy to the race by all means available. The cops and the road blocks and all add to the thrill of the game that is addictive in every mean.

Review: FIFA 11 (PS3)

A week ago, I used currys.co.uk discount vouchers and bought PS3 including FIFA 11 and a movie starter pack.
As every FIFA game I could not miss that one as well.As a whole, I think EA did very good this season as I was impressed by the innovations added to the game. The first innovation which impressed me was ‘Be a goal keeper‘ regime which is very dynamic. There is a navigation which shows you where the goalkeeper is located More

A Halloween Scream : Team Fortress 2 does it again.

It’s that time of year again, horror films, ghost stories and a decidedly lacklustre attempt at celebration from all of us UK residents. While our cousins across the pond do things with a bit more effort those of us here that dream of a week long celebration of all things ghoulish only have one outlet: The Second Annual Team Fortress 2 Halloween Event - http://www.teamfortress.com/screamfortress/
Team Fortress 2 is a massively popular first person online shooter with elements of an More

Franchise war

Entertainment companies like Sony, Microsoft & Nintendo are in the rat for franchising. Many you aren’t aware of it but gaining exclusive rights to game productions are vital. These are the games that bring in the BIG BUCKS for the company, provided they are credible creators.
Take for instance the Halo franchise, bought by Microsoft. Therefore the reason why you see it only on Xbox or Windows platforms, not anything else. This would be the soul reason why someone would More

VIRTUAL LIFE

I have great respect for the creators for the WoW or Guild Wars or Eve online, however I noticed including me, people get lost into these MMO’s so deep that they begin to believe that it is their real life rather than the lives they lead a school or college. I started to play WoW last month, the addiction for such games are so high, just to level up untill you afford a steed of your own or whatever it maybe, there is always motivation to keep you going.
However I do feel that people should reduce the time they spend on the these games and rather spend that time mixing around with their friends or meeting new people. Many teenage kids who find it hard to fit into their social circles tend to live their real lives in the form of avatars that you can create in the MMO’s. These are depictions of what they’d wish to be or how they’d like their life to be instead of they ones they actually lead. I have nothing against these games but if you do have friends who lead their lives in this way, you should take responsibility in helping them realise that these games are nothing but virtual worlds. They don’t exist. We’ll I didn’t fall so deep into it but i know many friends of mine who began to play these games when they 16 or 17 years old and are still playing at the age 23, still lost in there.
These games are not just games, they can be used by psychologist for studies and research they weren’t aware they could do. Simply by seeing the character on chooses and weapons one buys in a game and rage the player plays in the game with tells you a lot about what’s going on inside them. A friend of mine would play this game day and night, he always talked about a knight in shining armour with a stainless steel like look who would rescue everyone and solve their problems, its pretty evident that a potato couch like him wanted to be that knight and do something exceptional. He seemed more happy in there, no one to judge him or describe him on how he looked, he felt safe.
We need to learn to take responsibility and help people realise that those a virtual worlds are not worth spending time on.

God Of War 3

Yes you read it right, I was literally in game thinking I was Cratos and had all his crazy moves and unmatched strength until I put controller down and realised how stupid I looked behaving like him and screaming from the bottom of my abdomen. Well to tell you the truth it true, the visuals have taken its place in the gaming platforms that people will talk about in ages and era’s to come.
THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A GAME More
