If you’re reading articles at GotGame, chances are you’ve played Super Mario World. If you haven’t, punch yourself. And then try to find a copy on eBay or something, because it’s a great game. For the rest of you SNES-literate readers, chances are you’ve kept up with the most recent run for the oval office. Well, the good folks over at Zensoft are in the exact same boat and have decided to showcase their appreciation for both Super Mario World and president-elect Barack Obama by creating Super Obama World.
If you’re like me, and your current laptop just isn’t cutting it for gaming, then you might want to invest in a custom built gaming PC. These things can be amazingly powerful—to the point that they may put your console to shame. This video shows how you can build an affordable gaming PC that will do wonders to soothe your PC gaming itch. And keep in mind, this is part one, but the remainder of the videos can be easily found online. And this will give you a great start.
A 43 year-old Japanese woman has been arrested for allegedly hacking into the game MapleStory, where she virtually killed her online ex-husband.
The woman, who worked as a piano teacher, was arrested at her home in Miyazaki specifically for illegal access to a computer and manipulating electronic data. She could face up to five years in prison, and when the police questioned her she responded with, “I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry.”
Did you know that there are some people out there who don’t play video games? By choice? It’s understandable, though. Jumping into gaming isn’t as easy as it used to be. Stick your grandpa in front of an online Counter-Strike match and he’ll look at the keyboard the same way a monkey would look at an algebra equation. And it hardly seems fair throwing him into the inevitable onslaught of spawn-killing delinquents. There’s hope for your Pap-Pap though, with the aid of the right introductory games.
65 Million B.C. Earth downloaded a large comet. This new content added features like mass extinction, no sunlight, and fiery mess. The bugs were not quite worked out.
44 B.C. Julius Caesar downloads the Ides of March pack, which brought a knife into his back, betrayal, political unrest, and power struggle.
1 A.D. Mary downloads a messiah to her womb. It provided much faith and controversy. Contained first DRM that allowed re-download after deletion.
1347 A.D. Europe downloaded a new difficulty level for their living simulation called Black Death. It increased the difficulty to breathe, poisoned blood, caused bloody vomiting and terrible aching limbs. Players found the add-on extremely unbalanced and many could not cut the mustard.
Spore has recently received the honor of the 20th best invention in 2008, according to Time Magazine. This is kind of a big deal for a video game. I mean, out of all the things invented this year, Time chose to honor a video game within its pages (as well as a Retail DNA Test, Hulu, and the LHC). Is this a step into accepting games as art? Perhaps. But imagine the impact this has on the casual market. With such a presence in a magazine revered as nothing less than uber-respected, sales should shoot through the roof. Many roofs, in fact. I hope someone has roof insurance and knows a good shingle salesman.
Nowadays, all we seem to hear about in the gaming world are consoles. It’s all about which is better, what exclusive games are coming out or even when we can expect new ones. But the PC has a place in the gaming world too, doesn’t it? Maybe not.
In a recent interview with VideoGamer.com, developer Peter Molyneux said that he believes the PC gaming market is in “tatters.” And coming from him (a legend amongst PC gaming developers… who has now switched to the Xbox 360 for Fable II), the comment should be taken seriously. Is the PC gaming market declining?
Released last month, and just in time for Halloween, Konami has delivered the latest in the Silent Hill series. This newest entry to the Silent Hill family was not developed by original Team Silent, which has many avid fans debating if they should even bother with the game. With Double Helix Games at the helm, did they create a game that lives up to the legacy of the originals, or does it fall victim to the curse of Silent Hill?
To be fair, it’s a hard task to accomplish when you develop a game that someone else has established, and with such a well-developed series like Silent Hill, it’s even more difficult. In most cases, these types of games are critically panned for being unfaithful to the rest of the series. So let’s go over the good, the bad, and the ugly of this game and see how it stacks up against the rest of the series.
