Casual games, still part of gaming
Casual games are on the rise, that’s no secret, with games like Bejeweled being so addictive it makes sense. PopCap is one of the biggest casual game company with its name known to both casual and hardcore gamers, Zynga is up there too thanks to FaceBook.
EA is trying to get some of that sweet casual cash as well, they’ve bought casual game developers in the past, even Nintendo set the Wii up for the casual crowd.
With both big and small game companies making games for casual players the question is begged to be ask, do gamers really care? Seriously ask yourself “Do I really care about casual games?”, you should be able to answer that quickly.
Wii U to Face Hardware Limitations Similar to Wii?
Wii U could face hardware limitations in just a few years?
E3 2012 is just around the corner, and I like many other gamers are eagerly awaiting the information we will receive on the Wii U. The Wii experience for me was amazing when the console was first released, but due to technological boundaries, it became a system just for Nintendo’s first party titles. Even though the Wii U hasn’t released yet, I am a little afraid of what will happen with software a few years down the line.
The Walking Dead Game Episode 1 Review
I’m going to do something a little different in this week’s Michael’s Gaming Corner; I’m going to do a small review like I did with Journey, why?
Mainly because reviews are just somebody’s opinion, so I felt that game reviews would fit nicely in my editorials, it’s nice to change things up every now and then don’t you think? So here’s The Walking Dead game review.
Walking Dead on arrival?
Telltale Games have done plenty of point and click games based off of popular IPs, from Sam and Max to Jurassic Park, so it was no surprise when TT Games announced they were making a Walking Dead game.
The big question was how well can TT Games transfer the world of zombies to a point and click adventure without losing out on the action or pressure of being pursued by the living dead?
For those who are not familiar with point and click games, characters are usually set in in one spot until told to move by a cruiser which the player controls.
I’m happy to say the Telltale Games handle the thrill of a zombie apocalypse very well, nearly everything works.
E3 2012: Nintendo Predictions
E3 2012 will be extremely important for Nintendo and the Wii U.
E3 2012 is the biggest stage of all for video games, and Nintendo has the most to prove this year. After unveiling the Wii U at E3 2011, Nintendo has stayed very quite on what is in the future for their tablet based console. With 17 million 3D’s on the market, and the launch of a new console, E3 2012 will be big for Nintendo.
The 3DS did not have the best launch. In fact, Nintendo should be downright ashamed of their performance for the 3DS launch. Since then, Nintendo has made a series of good choices to turn the 3DS into the fastest selling handheld console ever. E3 2012 for the 3DS will be another focal point in the console’s short life. We already know Lugi’s Mansion 2 is on its way, and Kingdom Hearts 3D will be hitting this July, but the distant future looks a little clouded for the 3DS.
Indie:Beyond Journey’s pretty picture
I know a lot of gamers are going to be pretty upset with what I’m about to say but I must say it; Indie games aren’t that great where they get a free pass.
For now I’m referring to ThatGameCompany’s latest PSN game Journey, for those of you whom have not played nor purchased Journey I will tell you now, it’s not as great as everyone claims.
Indie Begins
Yes, Journey is a gorgeous game that is a feast to the eyes but, that’s about it.
The claims of it being an “emotional adventure” and an “experience that gamers shouldn’t miss” were bogus.
I felt little emotions except for when the camera pulled back to show a beautiful shot of the world, but it was nothing that I haven’t seen before in other games.
The music is great and it’s played at the perfect time, every time, the soundtrack is defiantly worth listening to.
E3 2012 Predictions: Sony
E3 2012 will be the Playstation 3′s last OH RAH!
E3 2011 for Sony was filled with a lot of exciting, and very confusing announcements. We got more information on the Playstation Vita, Sony apologized for the PSN outage, and the official Playstation branded TV was unveiled.
E3 2012 for Sony will be extremely interesting. Like Microsoft, Sony faces a bizarre situation when it comes to the Playstation 3, especially after Sony said they want to beat the next Xbox to market. The end of this generation is coming, but Sony claims they will not talk about the Playstation 4 at E3 2012. When it comes to the Playstation 3 and E3 2012, Sony is going to have to wow the world.
Next Gen/Touchscreen games-quick opinion
Unnecessary next gen consoles
I’m in love with my Xbox 360, I care about my 360 so much it gets more playtime than my PS3, Wii, DS, 3DS and PS Vita combined.
I say that to ask you this, do we really need a “next gen” console right now? I’m asking as honestly as I can make that sound, why do we need a newer Xbox or PlayStation system?
Both Sony and Microsoft knows that this is the console gen that we should be focusing on, Sony is the biggest supporter for ten plus years of the same console, they still push out more exclusive games than Microsoft and Nintendo.
Third party games are the reason why a newer generation of consoles shouldn’t be in the limelight just yet.
Xbox Live Will Not Get Another Price Increase
Xbox Live is not getting a price increase, stop the rumors.
Here we go again.
Sometime during the week, a rumor broke out entitled, Microsoft to further monetize Xbox Live this holiday. Instantly people jumped to the worst case scenario saying, Microsoft is increasing the price of Xbox Live! Microsoft is not going to increase the price of Xbox Live.
First off, the original story is simply a rumor. Evidence to support this rumor is extremely vague. We have a report that says “Developed strategy to further monetize Xbox LIVE subscriber base that will be implemented for holiday 2012.” Where in that statement does it say anything about Microsoft increasing the price of Xbox Live?
Rage Against The….Ending? Does BioWare Deserve All the Hate?
By now everyone should know about the infamous Mass Effect 3 ending problem, even if you don’t play Mass Effect 3, and the fact that many fans are very upset about how Bioware handled Shepard and company’s final push against the Reapers.
For those who are not following along with the story allow me to give you the short version, fans of Mass Effect felt unsatisfied and cheated about the ending of Mass Effect 3.
Now, you may be wondering why this is such a big deal, you might be asking “People are left unsatisfied and unhappy about endings to plenty of their favorite game, why is this game so special?”
In all honesty it’s not the game that’s truly special but the promise made years ago from Bioware, saying that every decision the player makes will be a factor in the game’s universe.
Generals 2: Five Elements That Will Command and Conquer
Command and Conquer: Generals, released in 2003, was a departure from C&C in almost every respect. In a series that had, up to that point, focused on the unreal and absurd, Generals addressed a real world problem.
