Changing the trajectory of the games industry forever
Gaming in the late ’90s was like entering a whole new universe that we had very little knowledge of…which is exactly what made it so enticing!
The Sony consoles have sure come a long way since their early days. With the PlayStation 4 going way beyond the 100 million sales mark and the first figures for the PS5 looking extremely positive, the present and future remain bright for the Japanese gaming giant.
And this is all thanks to the dedicated audience that Sony has been able to steadily establish throughout the years. Their relationship with the paying customers has been…
The announcement of the formation of the European Super League by some of the world’s greatest clubs appeared to come out of nowhere. Yet behind the scenes, it was brewing for a while now. Where does that leave football right now and what could the sport look like in five years.
Manchester United. Real Madrid. Arsenal. Juventus. Chelsea. Barcelona. AC Milan. These are just some of the clubs that as of a few days ago have decided to part ways with UEFA and the Champions League in order to create their own, independent European competition dubbed “The Super League.” …
Recently the popular Shingeki no Kyojin (Atack on Titan) manga came to an end, yet the author’s attitude towards his own world, but more importantly his main characters, is troubling to say the least.
Attack on Titan has been one of the biggest names within the manga industry in the last decade, as readers of the notorious franchise waited patiently every month to discover the secrets hidden behind the colossal beings and why they were hell bent on eating every single human left alive. …
Research proves several benefits linked to gaming
If you’re looking for a creative way to pass the time while also doing something good for yourself, then these titles might just be what you’re looking for.
Remember back in the old days when we would spend endless hours in front of our gaming consoles and our parents would scream at us that we should “go outside” or “those infernal things are going to make us blind?” Okay, some of you younger readers out there might not have had the misfortune of going through all of that drama, but boy were they wrong when they told us that!
How will developers and publishers provide news and updates to players in future?
With COVID-19 restrictions pretty much running the show all around the world, it’s difficult for the organizers of any event to say with certainty if it’s going to go forward or not. Even some of the world’s greatest gatherings — such as the Olympic Games or the Euro 2020 — are under threat, as the event holders cannot say with complete certainty what the situation will look like when the time comes for them to begin.
So it’s totally understandable that the gaming industry would of course be affected. It was easy to predict when all this began over a…
Pocket Monsters are a part of my life’s story
It’s difficult to imagine a time period that didn’t somehow involve Nintendo’s colorful little critters and now they seem to have become a guilty pleasure of mine.
Pokémon are everywhere! There’s no rock you can’t lift without finding a Pikachu or a Charmander hidden underneath it. Nintendo had an inspired idea 25 years to create a child-friendly franchise about 11-year-olds capturing these majestic creatures inside tiny capsules and embarking on all sorts of adventures with them. …
It wasn’t always easy and there were times when I thought I should simply end it, but after a long journey, I’m glad I didn’t give up…
Ever since I can remember, I’ve always been a gamer. You see, I had the privilege — if you can call it that — of being born right at the dawn of the video game consoles, so I got to experience the rise and fall of all the Ataris, the NES, the SEGA Mega Drive, and so on. I got to play them all, at least once, and see for myself what they were all about.
When people began to turn to online gaming, to be completely honest, I couldn’t see the appeal. To me, a game is something that…
Rarity, controversy, and other factors drive prices up for a select few games
If any of you out there are vintage game collectors, then you might probably be all too familiar with the upcoming list of titles. But if you know of anyone that likes old games and is complaining about the space they’re taking up in their cupboard, then perhaps it would be worth taking a look at this list because they might actually be sitting on a small treasure. With starting values approaching $1,000, some of these titles are considered to be extremely valuable due to how rare they are.
Lights, camera, action — game?
As game design continues to wow the world and become more immersive, the line between video games and blockbuster movies continues to blur. In the wake of the pandemic, much of the world turned to games for entertainment as movie theatres closed their doors. As these theatres reel from the financial loss, one company turned to video games for help. In South Korea, CGV Cinemas is bringing video games and movie theatres together. These theatres are allowing players to experience their favorite video games on the big screen.
The Oceanic nation has a long history in the sport and many people who love to play it. Yet it seems more than happy to kick that history in the teeth and shove those people into the sidelines if it means keeping out all the dangerous elements that come with it…
I have written many times about the issues that plague Australian football. Both at the newspaper that I worked for during a short time period and in my own separate blog, this is a topic that I have analyzed extensively because I have a passion for the sport and…
