Fantasy Congress

I don't get fantasy football. I mean, make up your own team? Now a congressional team I can understand. I would play this game, in fact it would be my obsession. I have too much homework. And when not doing homework, I think about the homework I will be doing. And when not doing either of those, I am sleeping.

Look at the happy people playing PS3



Anyone else notice that they seem to be trying to smile. It is really weird trying to find a good thing for this system. It has 4 players finally, it has a lot more space for games. And it is the next coffee table. My opinion is for the Wii of course. But it seems this bit of advertising is trying to mimic the Wii advertising, but isn't working.
Watching a model trying to look cool while playing, and then suddenly give in because he is having to much fun, as compared to the PS3 having a model try to seem cool and like he is having fun, and not really having fun. Kind of odd.

The color of Games


It is true Quake had a fairly greay and brown motif. It worked pretty well for that game. So why is it that so many games are Grey and Brown now? This is especially odd since the new games can allow so many more colors, but are still just using Grey and Brown.
Joystiq has pointed out that Nintendo makes sure to use as many colors as possible. So it is an interesting thing.
I guess what is happening is that these companies want to seem dark and gritty. Because of this they slowly become the same game, even if it is Halo and Tony Hawk Pro Skater.

Free Sidescroller game

This wouldn't be to big, but it is adjustable. And people have added every level in mario brothers. And then let Godzilla be the main character. No really, its weird. And worth the download for just that.

Tuan once asked a questions about this

A videogame hooked up to a excercise machine. Now that I see this idea, I can think of several other cool ideas for workout videogames.

Roller Coaster Tycoon madness

Take off and landing




Several times in this video, the camera takes off and goes back to the planet. The game this is going to will take up about 5 GB, but it will be seamless between worlds. Amazing huh?



Combat simulation for a game. It seems to have a very small amount of people making it. And the people making it are doing it for free at the moment. A space MMO that lets planets be as big as they should be.

Algorythms Rule!!!

The game Spore will be much smaller in size then any game out there. The same game will cover far more then any other game out there. From Protozoa to Alien abduction and everything in between and beyond.
So the question comes up, do we really need all these big disks when it turns out that we could make our programs smaller and better with ease.

Profesor Layton interview

It is a videogame. Originally it was going to be a brain training type game with puzzles. One of the creators has made puzzles his entire life, and is famous for this.
When Brain Training came out they decided to create a game with a story, so as not to compete. A very fun game with a story and puzzles in mind. Sounds fun.

The only problem with some puzzles is that once you learn them, they are not fun anymore. This is why Tetris is so big. It is a coninuosly changing puzzle.

TotoKeke has been in other games

It seems that a certain song has been around for over 10 years. And that it appears in every game the music writer has made.

Video Game Box Art

The evolution of box art. Donkey Kong is odd.

Got Frag

Note the Add

Wiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!

Really with the article about PS2 killing the PS3, and that most peoples thoughts are similar to this. I would say PS3 needs a lot of help

PS2 might kill PS3

I realize its a Sunday. But this is a pretty good article. And it is very true.
I like the videos for the PS3, they seem amazing. But they are not the type of games I would play.

The Console Wars Don't matter anymore

The reason for this is that the games industry should be making $44 Billion a year, at the end of this console season. If a group only got a quarter of that amount, they would still be doing well.

Costikyan gives his Opinion Again

To be blunt, this guy is more well known as a Complainer then a videogame maker. It is to the point that he has not made a game in years. He may have a point, or he may be trying for some weird Political Power through gaming
