Video Games Apeal To Senior Citizins!!!

A game made by Ubisoft, that brings the fun of those old spy/detective novels, to your Xbox 360.

This game comes with enough senior-appealing action, to keep grampa from snoozing.

It would seem IMPOSSIBLE to keep anyone over the age of 50 awake, playing a video game...right?!

Well I'LL be up to watch THIS amazing break in video games!

Anyway, this game brings the NOVEL out of the BOOK.

It's a game were you go in to the most complicated detail to finish a mystery.

Like sherlock holmes, this game has a set mystery, so that seniors can enjoy it like a book.

Games Apealing To Girls!

Pink 3DSs?! Dating games?! How much farther can you go?!

Well, I never thought of having games appeal to girls. I mean-when did that happen?!

First of all, Nintendo is planning on making PINK and WHITE 3DSs.

Now, many Japanese gaming companies have started making girl-appealing games.

It's said that many companies have made 40% of there profits, off of girl-oriented games.

Some girl-game companies are gaining billions of dollars of worth. It's the all-new for girls.

Weird...right?

Gamer's Brains Are Manipulated By Video Games!!!

A video game "sickness" occurs of gamers worldwide, ages ranging from 15-21.

Scientists have been studying this video game disease.

What happens is, you make video game interactions with real-world situations.

Many people reported that they looked at drop-down tabs in the air, tried to smash blocks, and other insane actions, making no sense to people around them. This made it harder for them to live and think.

It's a brain problem that you get from extensive video games. I'm not talking about like, a' few hours. I'm saying, these people play 24/7.

It's quite uncomfortable to people around them, changing parts of life, making it hard to leave your home, and other life-depending things.

If you think this post is funny, well, I'm eating a cookie while I'm writing this, hehe...

Video Game Themed Amusment Parks!!!

A new way to "amuse" people with video games.

Bringing the gaming to real life may sound funny, but yes, it's happening and has happened for quite a while (since PAC-MAN had a run with that idea and others in the 1980s).

Personally, I don't really like the idea, nor do I think that it works well. I haven't seen it myself, but I think it's almost like a reenactment of the video game. It's kinda strange. The amusement park that's holding the event will be in japan. The main game that is exhibited there is Angry Birds. You're supposed to use the "Angry Birds plush dolls". You pull them back with big band things, and then, you try to pop pig balloons. Weeeeiiiiiirrrrddd....

I'm Sick... Cough!

I'm so sorry that I haven't been posting lately. I've been sick. I think that I'll be up and posting tomorrow or the next day.

Frogger's 30th Birthday!!!

Frogger celabrates its big birthday of 30 years with a new frogger game, called "Frogger Decades". You can find it on the IOS app store for 99 cents. Frogger is re-united! Anyway, we should all be thanking frogger for a great 30 years and more.

FUN FACT: Frogger was a great hit back when it was made. Like PAC-MAN, Frogger was a nimble, strategic, and addicting game.

I have always loved Frogger with all my heart.

Make sure to comment about your favorite Frogger moment.

Super Pixel Bros. - A Re-creation Of Super Mario With Only 64 Pixels!

A guy, nicknamed "RetroBrad", created a game called 'super pixel bros', a re-creation of super mario bros (Nintendo's classic mario game).

 He used a sprite selection that he got from a friend and put this game on a little handheld that he could upload the software to.

The screen, made up of 64 pixels, was a jumble of dots that created levels resembling the actual Super Mario Bros.

This idea is quite unusual and I have to say that I was shocked when I watched the video.

Mr. MacDonald Wins The World Record On Joust!

Everygamer knows about "Joust", the classic arcade game.

Well, a guy named macdonald won the world record on the famed game. With scores of 10,000,000-12,000,000 and higher, this guy has not only won the world record, but kicked all other Joust warriors butts. Mr. Macdonald started his run in the early 1980s. He went around to many famous arcades and gaming museums, winning high scores on every machine he met. Then, after vigorous trips to gaming facilities, he found an arcade where he played for 20 hours straight on one coin. There, he won his world record.

About 28 years later, Macdonald had just had his 50th birthday. He googled joust, and to his surprise, he saw that there was a new world record breaker. He talked to his wife and found out that she had been contacting, and friends, with this person for some time.

Macdonald then bought himself an old Joust machine from a museum and hired people to add a world connecting leaderboard, so he could win his world record back. He succeeded and then did his whole thing over again. He took trips to various places, such as: Las Vegas, Brooklyn, NY, and some other interesting places, high-scoring many more Joust machines.

Mr. Bushell, Atari's Founder, Proposes Quicker Learning With Gaming Style To It!

A way of learning through the greatness of video games.

The whole idea is to didgitalize the school system and dispose of teachers and huge facilities. It will be video game learning style, that provides learning in a gaming context, such as, winning badges, playing games, and using controllers. This will completely revolutionize the educational system.

Mr. Bushell states that it will help kids learn faster and gain knowledge that is kept, and not discarded after learning.

This gaming idea will cut about 3 years from high school, giving kids the opportunity to go to college, get a job, and go off into the world a lot quicker.

Atari Makes an Awesome iPad Arcade!!!

You know, this is one of my greatest posts yet! I'm totally psyched about this!!!

So let the post begin...

OK, this invention makes your iPad into an old-style Atari arcade machine. everygamer knows about the old-style, big machines that you'll find in an arcade.

well, Atari made them mini, and replaced the old screen, with the iPad. this may be one of the biggest achievements in gaming ever! it's a beautiful remake of the old machine. it makes you...nostalgic...

kinda...funny...right?

Anyway, it's a funny little knickknack that works beautifully and IS awesome!!! ...................ATARI IS BBBBBBBAAAAAACCCCCKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

Namco Goes Social!

Yes, in fact it's true. This is a very unexpected revelation. Namco DOES do mobile, but not social.

I haven't seen it yet, myself, but it sounds cool. It makes sense - social is the new trend. Remember what I said a few posts ago; you make big bucks when you go into social gaming.

This all makes perfect sense. Ngmoco, being Namco's mobile-worker, does the Namco games for IOS, Android, and more. Presumably, Ngmoco, Namco, and Bandai will be working on this together. They will add Facebook, Twitter, and some other big social sites.

FUN FACT: Nintendo will be lagging at the tail end of social now, with pretty much NOTHING social! Funny, right? Lucky for Nintendo, they're a few years ahead of most companies in gaming standards, so they still have an advantage.

Ngmoco not only makes mobile games for Namco, they also made Pocket God for Android. Ngmoco's games are not very high quality, but they run on copying other company's games onto different systems with permission. It's kind of a new way of marketing games.

Social is not the only thing Namco is doing. They are now branching out to the new 3DS and the Wii.

Namco has now entered a new generation. More games will be coming our way!

PS: I took the pic above at the movie theatre, when I was going to watch the Smurfs movie. I thought it'd be cool. hehe...
