Okay, got up to five hours this week, but for a lot of the exercising, I didn't feel it. So next week I'm going to an hour and fifteen minutes. I also start counting calories that week. I sort of counted calories the previous week, but I wa...

Just for the hell of it, I'm posting a list of (usually) ten items related to gaming. But for the most part they won't be the typical stuff, like my top ten Gamecube games. I want to make discussion over more varied things. Plus if you have...

There's a setback. The scale says I barely lost anything, and my new picture shows barely any change from the first one. Does this mean this doesn't work? Not necessarily. I'm taking personal responsibility for this. I tend to procrastinat...

Got a couple more dance games, including Dance on Broadway (which is very similar to Just Dance, just with polygon dancers instead of rotoscoped ones) and the latest DDR for the Wii, which was for sale this week, so I did get a second mat. ...

Sorry this is a day late. Anyway, finished week two of this experiment. Found a bunch of speed bumps, but looking at those just makes me more determined (plus I've heard the second week is often one of the toughest). I did the time upgrade ...

Finished the first week of my gaming exercise experiment, so this is the update. Games I played each day: * Monday: We Cheer. Still haven't mastered the timing for that game, but I did break a sweat trying. * Tuesday: Gold's Gym Dance Work...

My name is Luke Collins, and I'm overweight. I'm 31, 5'10'', and 280 pounds. I don't have a problem with exercising and eating right in the first place, just sticking with those things. Well I like gaming, and my family and I have collecte...

Yes, the recent news of Taliban being pulled out of the latest Medal of Honor game does have a stink of giving in to controversy, and failing to stick to principles. But was the controversy the reason this change was made, or was it more f...

This study about reviews and sales might seem to be conclusive evidence that reviews affect sales, but there are two reasons why it is not. 1. The participants were required to read the reviews, and most consumers are not. 2. The study as...

My last post on games and art was a thrown together rant, with the points not well put, thus leaving room for misinterpretation, as many of the replies showed. So I'm going to break the points down and and focus on them in different posts. ...

Can you believe this? The Wii owners are somehow not to blame for them not buying a game? What kind of nuts are they? Can't they see that the million or so people who bought Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition and World At War don't actually exist?...

Yes, I'm saying it. Games as they are are not art. Okay, games are more craft than art, but I mean in terms of actually being artistic, games are not there. Not for the reasons Roger Ebert seems to think, but they are not art. I'll just cut...

In this, I try to look at games I like in a critical and analytical fashion, and then imagine if I had the authority and the means to have them remade. What I mean is I won't go "I think this would be cool to add," or "I don't like this, s...

This is a two part article. The first discusses the expanded market, and the second the core market. The Expanded Market The expanded audience is this odd entity to many developers and enthusiast gamers. They just don't get them. These pe...

This is a series where we try to go beyond simply comparing games as a whole. As in, it's not about "I think Game X is better than Game Y." That's been done to death. It's boring and predictable. This is about looking at them in a new way. ...

Despite what the head of Capcom France said, Capcom apparently hasn't given up on such games for Nintendo, as Seth Killian states. Among his words were that Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop sold well (even if well below what they hoped it wo...

Quite simply, I take two or more games that I think are more or less equal and compare them. But instead of the overall picture, I compare the points that are close enough to properly compare. Some of the points are my personal opinion, wh...

That is a comment on Anthony Burch's rant Fun Isn't Enough. That is one of the most ridiculous stat I have heard about games. Even if we broaden that beyond action games with macho heroes (as in including games like simulation racers that ...

Mark Rein has retracted his earlier statements from about the Wii and the Madden series. Take from that what you will. I say he should have done some research before speaking up. I don't mean just in terms of fact checking (as the huge fin...

Gamespot has done a second annual comparison of games on both the 360 and PS3. They took screencaps of the same points in both versions of the games, in as similar conditions as they could get (naturally this was almost impossible with GTA ...

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13772_3-9948454-52.html I'm shaking my head. First of all, Sony admitted they are still losing money on the PS3, and Kaz said it might take until the end of 2009 to turn a profit on it. Thus selling another 25 m...

Just look up the all-time rankings on gamerankings.com. Ocarina of Time now has a score of 97.4%, when it had a score of just under 97.7%. Guess what two games also have a score of just under 97.7%. Now normally I wouldn't mind which game ...

The first three Pokemon games had a rather simple pattern of naming them after colors. So on the original Gameboy, we had: 1.-2. Red - Blue/Green (depending on the region) 3. Yellow After that, Nintendo evidently decided that was a litt...

New title is because I didn't feel the previous ones worked. In response to Jim Sterlin's excellent blog post about graphical hype,* I'm compiling my own ten rules list of graphics whoring (I do hope this hasn't been done already). * Alth...

Let me make this clear. I love the GTA series (at least the 3D ones), and I have all the PS2 GTA games. So since the latest is a refinement of a series I love, I can therefore deduce that it's highly likely I will think GTA IV is a good gam...

How? By a glut of poor imitations. This is according to Yoshiki Okamoto, who worked on games Street Fighter II, Resident Evil and, more recently, Folklore. Full Interview Here. I guess it could happen, but it would take enough games to ove...
