The Wii

Hey everyone tonight I want to talk about physical engaging video games in other words the Wii. Do people really like the Wii as a method to work out instead of going to the gym everyday. I mean there are games where you can have work outs and there are also games like Yoga which make you relax and I believe it has its advantages like being at home and doing it at your own time also saving you money from paying yoga classes. Another good feature they have incorporated in the Wii is the fact that you can play call of duty which resembles the video games you see in the arcades, one thing I don’t know is if it was a big thing. When they came out with the Wii U I was like seriously they just killed it why did they develop a huge device that’s basically pointless they should of though of something else to incorporate in the console. You basically have the same screen that you have on the TV. On some games you can have the map of the game but mostly you can either play with double screen or just the controller which acts like a Nintendo DS no difference at all. The playstation 3 incorporates almost the same idea expect it is a little different and only certain games can be done with the controller. Although I don’t know if they still sell it because I was trying to look for it but none of the stores seem to sell it I guess it was discontinued or something. Anyway let me know what you guys think of this technology that has been here for a while should it keep going or stop?

The SuperJoy

In todays modern age we have to buy each individual game which mostly each individual game can go for about sixty dollars a piece. The superjoy is a video game that integrates more than 100s of games in a single controller. Surprisingly the game console if you want to call it a game console at all was roughly about twenty dollars back in the days. Today they still sell it mainly for little kids that are barely going in the video game world. Probably the more responsible parents would buy this to there young child instead of buying them an advance system like the ps4 and the game call of duty of some other game and then complain about their kids spending to much time in it. What’s great about this device is that it is so simple and rather advance because of the fact that it can carry a lot of games in it such as all the Mario games, Contra and many more like pac-man and all of those old school games but I mean they were fun to play and they still are. When I had mine the only problem I had was that it just sort of a cheap material the controller was made out of the wires wouldn’t work sometimes and that would bug me because you would be so deep into the game and all of a sudden the screen goes black because of the wire and you would have to start all over. I still love old games and this would be great for young people growing up and see how the old games were.

HORROR!!

Today were going to talk about the world of horror games whether they are from big time video game companies or small independent ones. One of the best things about horror video games is the Goosebumps you get when playing the game the fact that you don’t know whats going to happen next is like no other feeling. Having somewhat of the experience of being in a real scary situation is quite the feeling. In these type of video games you really get into it its like being in an actual scary movie. People chasing you and you get that adrenaline rush that your actually going to die. I don’t really play a lot of horror video games but I like them I think it’s a different experience overall and whoever had the idea of a horror video game I give props to them. Last post I talked about pc vs console games and I have noticed that a lot of horror games are in pc I don’t know why but they are and its mostly the ones that are not to much on action but more of the paranormal activity type games where you have to investigate and sort of just walk around until you find something. But the sounds of the these video games is crucial it makes the game more intense and horrifying. A game that’s really interesting is “Among the Sleep” which is a game of a baby yes your actually a baby in the game. It is a horror game as well but most of all the storyline is what I think is important and very unique as well as interesting. Let me know what you guys like and dislike about horror video games.

Game Controllers

Ok people. Let’s talk game controllers. Over the years, there have been many different kinds of controllers. Video game system manufacturers have experimented with all kinds of shapes sizes and colors. Many got it right, a lot got it wrong.

There are a lot of systems out there that not many people have heard because they were not too popular so they may not even remember the controller that came with the system. Some like Atari and the original Nintendo are classics that everyone remembers and are easy to use by people who don’t play a lot of games.

Some are shaped like guns for shooting games and some are based on old classic arcade style with a joystick and buttons.Some are modeled after the previous generation game console and some are redesigned based on customer complaints. There are clear controllers and many of your favorite colors to choosefrom. I liked the jet throttle controls for some of the flying games.

People who play PC games use a typing keyboard as the controller and hit certain letters and numbers to control certain actions.

They have evolved a lot and now your whole body is the controller. Either it is the guitar from Guitar Hero, the drum set from Rock Band, or the nunchuk and steering wheel from Nintendo Wii all are interesting new takes on control. Even more interactive is the X Box Kinect and the PlayStation Move. Built in sensors shoot out to the room and you stand at a certain distance from the sensor and it reads you movement and your whole body controls what happens on screen.

I like the Move and Kinect approach to playing games because they are fun, but nothing beats a good old hand held controller that just feels comfortable in your hand so you can play for hours. And it gives you something to throw across the room if you get mad at the game.

Computer vs Console Games

Hey guys this nights topic would be computer vs console games i mean what is the difference. I am looking foward to seeing what you guys think upon the subject. Alot of young folks play computer games alot more than console games they even go to like the internet cafes to play everyday given the fact that either they dont have internet or the right computer to play these games. If i am not mistaking there only a certain amount of computers that allow to play high def video games which probably use a lot of processing power. I belive the main objective for computer games is that most of them are mainly for online multiplayer gaming. The technology for computer games have changed drastically. I remember when i tried playing my first computer game and this was back in 2006 or so years. I remember playing grad thef auto in the computer and it was just horrible the graphics were just something else it might of been because of the computer that i had but the game ran slow and the ruins the consumers experience overall. In todays technology so advance the graphics are alot better and the consumers experience is alot better. Playing a computer game and playing a console game i think i rather go with playing a console game just because i like having the console that is mainly for video games with powerfull processing power. Its crazy how there are many people that like playing computer games rather than console games but i mean if there are true games they play pretty much everything. I want to know what your guys opinion on the subject which one do you guys like better, which is a better consumer experience?

Resident evil vs Call of duty

Hey bloggers in this late night post i want to talk about which game is better than the other and of course this is a very subjective topic where everyone can have there own personal point of view. Some players might like resident evil better than call of duty but for now lets talk about the games. Both of the games are in the same genre they both incoporate somewhat of shooting military tactics or so. Some people like resident evil because of the story like and all the creatures that come out in the game but others like call of duty because of the online multiplayer gaming. Belive it or not there are still online people that play black ops instead of the newer games of call of duty like ghost. The options of the game really effects the player wether he or she is going to like the game mostly not alot of gamers care about the storyline but alot still do they care more of wether it has multiplayer and how well was it created. Call of duty is a first person shooter unlike resident evil it is not first person which kinda bugs me because first person makes it more realistic im still waiting till they come out with grad theft auto with first person shooter but let me know what you guys think which game do you guys like the most?

Violent Video Games

Hey my fellow bloggers today I want to talk a little bit about violent games. Are they a good thing or are they a bad thing? Some people suggest that violent games do have an effect on kids specially young adults which makes perfect sense why video game companies rate these games T for teen 18+ but even then 18 year olds still have an effect on these particular games. This video that I put up from YouTube gives an example of a parent seeing another person playing Grand Theft Auto 5 and we see some of his reactions. The reviewer makes his own opinion about violent games. He says that many parents think violent games have an affect on there child because of all the rumors and stuff that has happened. For example the news, there has been occasions where they do reports on violent video games. Most of the reports are negative and honestly it all has to do with how the parent raises his or her child don’t you agree. If a parent gives his or her child the right moral values that child might just play the game as a game with no side effect, but it also depends on the childs way of thinking. There are way more violent movies than video games as I recall so why do they only base the violence on video games why not on films as well. Personally violent video games are just another video games nothing more.
