Video Games

MindSay wiki pages: anyone can edit page content/design, post comments, or find other members interested in Video Games!
Video Games. A generalists topic, so wide and all consuming it obliterates any attempt to start. So, let me try.
Gaming has been around for centuries. It was only a matter of time before someone paired up the natural digital technology with gaming. And that someone did. Feel free to add your two cents regarding that.
From arcades, to personal computers, to home consoles, video gaming has permeated our culture. There are even movies, television and music using video games as topics, stories, or themes. And video games pull from our culture in a large Circle-of-Life cycle.
Some early gaming notables:
  • Pac-Man
  • Donkey Kong
  • Pong
  • Super Mario Bros.
  • Scorched Earth: The Mother of All Games.
  • Text Adventures
  • "fill in the blank" Chess or Poker (a standard for student-programmers)
Video Games encompass a large area of the entertainment industry. The money generated in the selling of video games alone has exceeded  the revenue from the movie industry for years.
Because there are many video game providers and consoles, and the consumers of these products tend to become attached to these companies, it will be easy for any discussion of video games to degenerate into name calling or simple opinion.
 There has been major breakthroughs since the Atari has come out. Atari came out at 1972, and the first game was made which everyone knows as Pong. A simple, yet interesting game. There was other consoles that came out such as:
  • Atari
  • Nintendo
  • Super Nintendo
  • Nintendo 64
  • Gamecube
  • Sega: Genesis
  • Sega: Dreamcast
  • Playstation
  • Playstation 2
  • *Playstation 3*
  • Xbox
  • Xbox 360o

Re: Video Games
The thing that i want to add on the topic of Video Gaming is the discussion on the ratings of video games and the discussion of young kids being able to access "M" rated games.

 

I know that magority of the games being created are either too violent, too voguar, or contain too much sexual content. But the ratings are suppose to help separate these games from the others. The only way for that to work is for stores that sell these games to make sure that young kids dont buy these game from the store. Some stores do no do this. That is how young kids are able to play these games. That and parents are buying it for them. Then it is the parents fault.

 

The ratings tell what kind of game it is. It is the parents and stores responsibility to prevent young kids from getting their hands on these games. The ones who make these games have the right to do it. All they need to do is make sure they get the proper rating on the game.

 

This is my opinion. I would love to hear others on this topic.

Re: Video Games
I guess it does have a lot of buttons (the xbox), but only two more than the Gamecube controller (black and white buttons) unless we're talking about xbox 360... then, left and right buttons.

Re: Video Games
I prefer Nintendo over Microsoft, but Microsoft is pretty h-core too. Obviously the real evil is Sony. Although, they aren't too much of a threat anymore. XD
