Game Entrapment Hard Core Gamers Taking a Back Seat
It seems so innocent, the way the video game developers suck you in. First it is an increasingly aggressive game system pricing (cheaper!). Then comes the rave reviews from "experts" and fun, exciting packaging...packages almost look wholesome and heroesque don't they? Then you begin the play. Casually for a few minutes at first. Then what they heck just an hour. Suddenly the sun is coming up. So you get another game or different version for your portable system or smartphone (just to stay sharp of course). Before we knew it our wife and daughter were beating us...regular! It is so humiliating. There goes all of the fun for another male bastion...sheess !!!

We’re Starting to Take Virtual Sales to the Real Bank
We may have worked with Atari for over six years back in the real gaming system days but we never really had a long attention span -- long enough to play the games. We knew people who slept under their desks and lived on Coke/Twinkies when it was crash n burn to get games out. Folks still do but now they're talking serious money. So serious we people buy virtual goods/stuff with real money. Times have changed but the attraction of games hasn't. The games are more realistic, more immersive and more valuable. Serious men, women, boys, girls play them...serious men, women develop them...seriously there's a new breed of casual games !!!!

Game Power - Welcome to My World Sucka !!!
Take Grand Theft Auto (GTA) IV. Blood, guts, sex, drugs, rock 'n roll. Take-Two's Rockstar dropped a cool $100 million to develop this horrific game. The game may have racked up more than $500 Mil sales in a week. The computer, game console, software and MMOG companies are major product categories in the CE industry. Success here drives the need for faster, more powerful processors; higher quality graphic chips/cards; better viewing screens; surround speakers and more. Here's our views on how the industry will

Turn Your Do-List Into A Game
The do-list is a burden we carry around, day in, day out. When we have nearly completed it, we or someone else dumps more "do" on it. It's a game you never win. Turning your do-list into a game, by making it a scorecard, shifts the paradigm.

The Dawn of Pokemon: Tajiri Launches His Game
Tajiri was no stranger to video games. In the early 1980s, he had won a contest sponsored by Sega that involved making a video game. With his “Game Freak” colleagues, Tajiri had also created his first video game, Quinty, which was published by Namco. But in 1991, Tajiri discovered something that he thought was revolutionary: the Game Boy. When he saw two boys playing a game together, connecting their Game Boys by a link cable, Tajiri immediately began to think of the possibilities. “I saw Game Boy when it was first released,” says Tajiri. “The idea for Pokémon clicked in my mind. The basic idea for Pokemon seemed a good fit for Game Boy.”

Wordpress
Google is shutting down many accounts that are targeting "opportunity sites" and slapping the owner by shutting down their accounts. It now looks like WordPress is getting into the game and "Whacking" or shutting down sites that do the same. The Wordpress "Whack" puts the Network Marketing industry in the same category as the affiliate industry.
Are You In The Game
Have you ever noticed that it is the people in the stands who supposedly know everything about the game? They give all kinds of advice, but you don't see them actually in the game. It is as if the game exists only for them. Many will say that yes, the game does exist for the fans, for without the fans, where would the game be?
