PS3 VS XBOX 360 - Special Games of 2008 | Gaming Shooters

 PS3 VS XBOX 360 - Special Games of 2008.

By Nahiyan Malik 

Xbox reign is about to end. Since then the PS3 looked better and better. It looks like 2008 will be the year for PlayStation. The PlayStation 3 has a lot of big-name titles coming out this year and if all the games on the list are really released this year, we can say WOW. Note: The following list does not represent the full list of specific titles for each console. However, it does give us a very good idea of ​​the rumored games that will be released this year.

PS3:

Resistance 2 (PS3)

Guaranteed success. Although the first one was a good game and was a huge success, it was still just a topic of introduction. Think about what they can do after a few years with games under their belt. 8 players Co-Op! Expect great things in this game.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3)

Another guaranteed success. Anyone who plays Gran Turismo will catch this game. If you are a follower, you are a follower. The visuals continue to improve, HD resumes, 'says Nuff!

Haze (PS3)

Hopefully, the game will finally end a long series of delays this year. This game promises some powerful action, including 4-player reunion, exit, exit, screen split, online, or multiplayer local options. The game continues to impress with the look, not only of the graphics quality but also the very cool, unique design elements.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Patriots Guns (PS3)

Who doesn't know about this game? The game has months left and is now a milestone. If any game you can live up to for the fun of the game, stop at Solid Snake, old or young. Like most games on this list, the visuals are amazing. The game looks packed with a huge amount of story and gameplay. The game features a lot of weapons and subtle movements. If you own a PS3, you probably need to purchase this. He knows he will do it.

SOCOM: Confrontation (PS3)

At the beginning of this article, a few details were released. The game will support up to 32 players online. Customizable weapons like SOCOM 3. And like previous SOCOM games, there will be a lot of focus on multiplayer internet. The first name says this one will go the Warhawk route, offering only the internet via Bluetooth headset and everything. After all, the first SOCOM version of the use of pioneer headsets on consoles.

LittleBigPlanet (PS3)

Probably one of the newest, most exciting, and most anticipated games of the year. Little Big Planet looks to grow the PS3 audience with this "build-your-game" game. Eat your heart with Nintendo Miis, this game looks great. The level of creativity allowed is astonishing. The game also supports a 4-player co-op with its opponents. Also, it is perfect for kids without being annoyingly cute.

God of War III (PS3)

The PS2 came out with a bang (though still hanging there) with the original God of War, and more recently, it's still on the old-fashioned console. People have been waiting for the true knowledge of the "next generation" of the God of War and it looks like 2008 will be your year, maybe. Not much is known yet, however, the creator of the game, David Jaffe, is no longer working on the series so we will have to wait and see how it all happens.

Final Fantasy XIII (PS3) - Final Fantasy Versus XIII (PS3)

Whether you are a fan, or you are not, however, you should be aware of the scale of the Final Fantasy franchise. Games continue to set graphic scales for every output. The next, XIII, seems to be doing well for their dignity. Not only do they improve all the visual features, and the storytelling of the game, they prepare for the fight as well. The battle in Final Fantasy XIII promises to speed up and intensify the battles.

MotorStorm 2 (PS3) [Teaser Trailer]

Another sequel to the previous PS3 special, MotorStorm 2 did not reveal much, but from the trailer, we can also expect another pre-provided bar set up so high that they can access it with in-game graphics. Don't get me wrong, the first one looked good, but the video they showed last year looked 10 times better. This has been the best runner-up for a while, but we’ll see how the sequel compares to the popularity of Gran Turismo 5 HD later this year. Other improvements include new cars/trucks/motorcycles, tracks, and best of all, the much-needed 4-player screen split mode. The game is said to include online support for 16 players.

Killzone 2 (PS3)

So, video and screenshots showed how good the game looks in action. But what about the gameplay? The original was not recommended by critics, though I really enjoyed it (it removed a large number of errors). It was definitely not the "Halo Killer" that was mentioned. The next one will really have to prove itself in such a thriving shooter market. Has Guerrilla Games not revealed the exact details of gameplay, i.e., interaction, multiplayer, customization? The game looks good though. Guess we will have to wait and see.

XBOX 360:

Ninja Gaiden II (360)

Finally, on the Xbox 360, I thought we would never come here. Ninja Gaiden II, the first officer, a true sequel, promises to complete everything that makes the reality so popular. Too much action, too bad people, too much blood (probably too much), and too much speed. The creators of the game also faced the difficulties some (many) had in other games. They have said that without overcoming it, they will be changing controls to improve and reduce the irritation of new entrants. They can also add new weapons to the game and animate tone for new characters to keep the visuals new.

The Greatest Man (360)

In the previous episode, Too Human is already set to be part of the trilogy. Everyone loves a trilogy. They have created a vast universe with unique technologies and organic design. The game is built on the story, which includes a highly adaptable camera system that should always give you a better view of the action during the gameplay. The game also includes many RPG elements to keep you interested. Like most RPGs, you can upgrade almost everything, from weapons to the military, to special skills that extend your combat. The game also has a different combat system, which uses the right analog stick for both melee attacks and splits.

Myth 2 (360)

A sequel to a masterpiece of artificial intelligence, the Fable 2 looks to surpass its predecessor in every way. The ultimate decision between good and evil. In this case, your options are even bigger. Like any other Lionhead game, Black & White, the player will be given a pet to help you throughout the game, and as a close friend. Peter Molyneux, the creator of the game, said he wanted the game to get the player involved in the air. Just guessing, but you can expect your dog to eventually die. In addition to the game of conscience, this game is one of the first games to introduce money into the game before it is released. Okay, you can start earning gold to use on Fable 2 before the game hits the store shelf, thanks to the downloadable arcade games on Xbox Live.

Banjo-Kazooie 3 (360)

Very little is known about Bajo-Kazooie 3, if that is the name. Unusually, the game-making company released a short caption trailer back in September 2006. It didn't show any style of play, however, it did show a new style of boxy art that you can see in the screenshots above. You can expect the typical elements of the Bajo-Kazooie arena, collect everything you see, work together to reach different locations and defeat different enemies, and the vast open world. The Xbox 360 is not well known for having multiple platforms, so this will be a welcome addition. The last time we had a Banjo game was back on the N64.

War Gear 2 (360)

Should I say something? Gears of War 2. He knew that he would succeed. The first one was a huge success, actually defeating Halo in the top multiplayer online game, as long as it was the last generation of Halo 2. The game includes everything new Unreal Engine offers 3. More on-screen enemies, more damage, more light more realistic, and more chainsawing action. Another day of appearance awaits us this fall.

Halo Wars

Halo is not dead! At least the whole Halo universe is missing. Halo Wars is the first Halo game that is not a Halo game. It is a real-time strategy. While the game can only be upgraded to Bungie, it is upgraded from the ground up to the Xbox 360 and console gameplay. This means they've solved some of the problems that plagued many real-time strategy games on consoles. Did you know that Halo was originally a real-time strategy game for Mac? True.

Splinter Cell: Case (360)

Sam Fisher's next step looks remarkably similar to the Bourne Identity-type game. That being said, it still looks good. They threw away their blue eyeglasses to get a men's bag (like Jack Bauer), a hoodie, and a beard and found the stripped and dirty, green, Splinter Cell game where you now run. law. The new game seems to be changing beyond Sam's fashion, focusing on what Ubisoft calls "All Game based on development". When your inventory is the world around you, take and throw chairs, etc. Use mobs to your advantage, such as Assassin's Creed. This could be a good way to revive the series, or it could be too far away from its roots and lose fans.

Left 4 Dead (360)

Zombies, Co-Op, Valve, Source, 'said Nuff. "43 in Left 4 Dead actually means something, not just l337 talk. Okay, a four-player co-op for first-person zombie shooting. A lot of people expect a lot from it, and it seems likely. Live in harmony with them. Not a fan of being human, they treat you well. You can choose to play as zombies, or "infected" as they are called in the game. There are many different types of zombies each with different strengths and weaknesses.

Alan Wake (360)

Do you like psychologically pleasing ones? Alan Wake was introduced as a "movie" like a game rather than a normal action game. Officially they call it a "happy mental act". The game has been under development for some time now (won GameSpy Best E3 2005) and says it has a 2008 release date, we'll see. Looks good, the developers spent a lot of time actually shooting the air of the thriller. They incorporate full day and night light and weather effects in real-time.

Honorary: Heavy Rain (PS3), Agency (PS3), L.A. Noire (PS3), Tekken 6 (PS3), Huxley (360), GTA4 (360 special episode content), Conan Age (360)

That’s a little bit and I’m tired. This should give you something to think about when buying a console this year. I'm sure there are a lot of outgoing games not on this list. I recently compiled some of the biggest special consoles of 2008.

Making A Great Video Game | Gaming Shooters

 Making A Great Video Game | Gaming Shooters 

By Allan Street 

Making a Good Video Game | Game shooters

When you make a good game there are a few things to consider if your game will survive in a market full of good game designs. Below are a few key factors to consider when designing a great game.

Game graphics:

It is a common misconception that the best games are based on excellent graphics. While you have excellent graphics, this one thing will not make a good game if some features are not up to standard with the graphics. However, having said that, it is fair to say that when combined with other aspects of game design that are equally important, good graphics can give the game a better chance than other games with low-quality graphics. A few examples of this are the world rich with pictures of games like Halo, Myst, Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy, Star Wars, and these are just a few of the many games that can be considered as excellent graphics. It is, therefore, safe to assume that one important thing is a good game, but that needs to be combined with other equally important features, the id for the game to have good graphics.

Game:

This feature is also a very important feature of the game's design as it incorporates the point of play of the game, the goal to be achieved, and the possible interaction between game elements such as objects or Playable Characters. Although the game should have a decent play and story, this fact will not make a good game in itself. When combined with good graphics though, these two features will give the game a limit over the competition. Playing a game can be a simple process or a very complex process and can still make a good game, as we can see when we compare the game 'Tetris' with the game "Final Fantasy". Both games were the hottest games so far left in the crowd list of the best games. The game itself has many helpful features in every game, which we will not consider here, but to name a few, the game designer can consider such things as, Line Story, other options, natural physics, player interaction, etc. So again, we can see that this thing alone will not make a good game but will participate in a good game when combined with other important aspects of game design.

Game audio:

The audio aspect of the game in game design is very similar to Game Graphics. The sound quality in the game can help determine whether a game is good or not. Examples of this can be found in some of the classics if we think of games like Zelda or an old Atari game called Frogger. Most of us can think of an old game that we can still remember the music of the game, except that some of it were annoying, but most of it was attractive and addictive. Then we move on to game history and reach games that rely heavily on the sound of the game, such as Silent Hill or F.E.A.R. These games would not have been as good as they are now if they had low-quality sound. And so again we see another important thing that needs to be added to the game to make it a good game.

Playback:

This aspect of game design has greatly improved over the years of game design, as our game goals and objectives have greatly improved and deepened. To illustrate this point I will take you back to the game history in the classic 'Tetris'. This game, and others in this category, are designed to play and set a record for that game, then play it again and try to improve that record. Whether it’s high scores, long survival, game progression, or some other type of scoring, ultimately your ultimate goal is to hit the points set as the best points. Later in the game history, we began to see Re Playability more advanced in-game designs in the sense of strategic games, in which the player makes a decision that determines how the game will progress from that point forward. One of the best games in modern game history featuring advanced Relocation models like LOTR, where once you have played the game as a good person, you can replay all levels as a bad person, as is common in Star Wars games and many other games in this genre, Alternative Re Playability is available in some of the new Star Wars games and the popular game called 'Deus Ex - Invisible War', in which the player's choice determines how the story will unfold, meaning that each time you play you have the option to make a different choice that doesn't lead to death all the time but instead re-formed the way the story unfolds in the actor. This game feature is one of the most important factors that must be combined to make a good game.

Additional features:

A few other problems that can make a game a good game that can be combined with the above are listed here. First of all, there is the development of the Character. As you progress through the game, your opponents need to get more challenges. As opponents become less powerful it is a natural conclusion that you want your character to grow up with your opponents. The best games seem to offer you a lot of different areas for your character that you can modify or redesign or improve, etc., to improve your character skills. This allows the player to combine his character into a character that is very personal to you, a person with whom the player can connect at a certain level.

Another consideration when trying to design a good game is the level of skill required to play the game. For a long time, people, usually from older generations who have never grown up near computers, often say that they do not like a particular game because there are so many buttons and they are so complicated. This concept comes from many different levels for different players and is a factor that should be considered by the designer of any game. Communication between user and game is very important.

As well as this, the designer would like to think about how difficult it is for the whole game to work well with the game itself. In a monopoly-like game, the lucky thing is luck, in that even a child can be a monopoly winner if luck succeeds, while a game like a test, for example, requires skill and planning or tactics. So what skills are needed to complete the game it is the most important factor towards the best game.

Another important factor to consider when making a good game is the length of time for each level within the game, or the game itself. Although a good game can take a very long time to complete, the stages are usually not separated by distance. Game storage is an important factor when you think about it. Does the game allow the user to save as often as the players will be able to, or does the player have to come to a strategic place to use Game Save? And how far apart each Game is and what the Game Save position is also a very important factor. No one likes to walk on stage for half an hour, to face a big battle that will eventually have a saving point on the other side of the battle. This will frustrate your player when he dies in battle and the previous save game goes back to the beginning of the level.

Finally and I have this article about beautiful game design. One of the most important things and one that qualifies can be at least 50% of your sports success, is a start. Players are excited when they face new plans. Not only do they wonder if they can control the system and complete the goal of the game, but also, if it is a good principle that somehow seems more profitable than other programs on the market, we will always connect the player. An example of opposition systems can be seen in first-person shooting games where the main focus has been on the shooter as seen in third-person view or first-person view. This seems to be the most advanced shooter program, with the emergence of games like Swat and Full Spectrum Warrior. In Swat, the system makes a difference in that if you are going to open a door in a game you have options on how to open that door. You can go and open it yourself, you can instruct team members to go ahead and open it. You can also open the door using a variety of techniques such as burglary and piercing, which means opening the door and dropping a bomb before you enter to clear the room. In Full Spectrum Warrior, we see the system change and in that, your group of four men now have to roam the area by creating strategic structures around things. These are just two of the many varieties of Unique Systems.

In short, a good game does not seem to be defined by anyone object as seen above, but rather, it seems to depend on a successful combination of a successful design feature. The few that are listed above are not all factors that need to be considered in making a good game, however, they are certainly some of the most outstanding.

Video Game History - The First Video Game Ever Made?

 Video Game History - The First Video Game Ever Made?

By Ian Blake 

As an avid retro player, I have long been particularly interested in the history of video games. To be more precise, my favorite title is "What is the first video game ever made?"

The question was: What was the first video game ever made?

Answer: However, like most things in life, there is no easy answer to that question. It depends on your definition of the word "video game". Example: When you talk about "first video game", do you mean the first video game for sale, or the first concert game, or maybe the first digital game? Because of this, I made a list of 4-to 5 video games in one way or another that were beginners in the video gaming industry. You will notice that the first video games were not created with the intention of making a profit from them (back in those decades were not Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Sega, Atari, or any other nearby video game company). In fact, the idea of ​​a single "video game" or electronic device designed exclusively for "playing games and entertainment" was beyond the imagination of over 99% of people back then. But thanks to this small group of intellectuals who have gone through the first steps of getting into the video game revolution, we are able to enjoy many hours of fun and entertainment today (excluding the creation of millions of jobs over the last forty or 5 years). Without further ado, here I present the "first video game nominees":

The 1940s: Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Device

This is considered (by the official documents) as the first electronic game device ever made. Created by Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann. The game was compiled in the 1940s and filed in the US Patent in January 1947. The patent was granted in December 1948, making it the first electronic game device to obtain a patent (US Patent 2,455,992). As described in the copyright, it was an analog circuit device with a series of knots used to move a dot from a cathode ray tube display. The game was inspired by the way the arrows appeared on the WWII radar, and the purpose of the game was to control the "arrow" to hit the target. In the 1940s it was very difficult (not to say impossible) to display graphics on a Cathode Ray Tube display. Because of this, only a real "arrow" appeared on the screen. Targets and any other images displayed on screen overlays are automatically placed on the display screen. It has been said by many that the famous Atari video game "Missile Command" was created behind this gaming device.

1951: NIMROD

              

NIMROD was the name of a digital computer from the 50s. The creators of this computer were engineers of a UK-based company under the name Ferranti, who had the idea of ​​showcasing the device at the British Festival of 1951 (and later shown again in Berlin).

NIM is a two-player number strategy game, believed to have originated in ancient China. The NIM rules are simple: There are a certain number of groups (or "clusters"), and each group contains a certain number of items (NIM's standard startup list is 3 clusters containing 3, 4, and 5 items respectively). Each player takes turns removing items from the pile, but all the extracts must come from one pile and at least one item must be removed. The player who will take the last item in the last pile loses, however, there is a variation of the game where the player who takes the last item in the last pile wins.

NIMROD used the light panel as a display and was designed and developed for the unique purpose of playing the NIM game, making it the first digital computer device specifically designed to play a game (however the main idea was to show how digital computers work, rather than fun and entertaining). Because it does not have "raster video equipment" as a display (TV set, monitor, etc.) it is not considered by most people as a real "video game" (an electronic game, yes ... video game, no ...). But again, it really depends on your point of view when you talk about "video games".

1952: OXO ("Noughts and Crosses")

This was a digital version of "Tic-Tac-Toe", computer-generated for EDSAC (Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator). It was designed by Alexander S. Douglas of the University of Cambridge, and for a time and was never intended for entertainment, was part of his Ph.D. Thesis "Interaction between man and computer".

The rules of the game are those of the standard Tic-Tac-Toe, a computer-resistant player (no two-player option available). The input method was rotating dialing (such as those found on older phones). The output is shown on a 35x16-pixel cathode-ray tube display. The game was never very popular because the EDSAC computer was only available at the University of Cambridge, so there was no way to install it and play it elsewhere (until many years later when the EDSAC emulator was developed, and at that time many began to succeed. Some good video games where it is also found ...).

1958: Two Tennis

"Two Tennis" was created by William Higinbotham, a physicist who works at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The game was created as a way to have fun, so the laboratory guests had something funny to do while waiting for "visitors' day" (finally! ... a video game created for "just fun" ...). The game was very well designed for its season: the ball behavior was adjusted by a few factors such as gravity, wind speed, location, contact angle, etc .; you should avoid the net-like real tennis and many other things. The video game computer hardware consisted of "joysticks" (two controls with a rotating knot and a push-button) connected to an analog console, and an oscilloscope as a display.

"Two Tennis" is considered by many to be the first video game ever created. But also, many others differ from the idea that "it was a computer game, not a video game" or "the outgoing show was an oscilloscope, not a" raster "of video presentation ... so it is not suitable as an oscilloscope video game". However, you can't please everyone ...

There are also rumors that "Two Tennis" was the inspiration for Atari's hit song "Pong", but these rumors have been strongly denied ... for obvious reasons.

1961: Space warfare!

"Spacewar!" the video game was created by Stephen Russell, with the help of J. Martin Graetz, Peter Samson, Alan Kotok, Wayne Wirtanen, and Dan Edwards of MIT. In the 1960s, MIT was "the right decision" if you wanted to do computer research and development. So these 12-year-old boys used a brand new computer and were expected to arrive on campus soon (DEC PDP-1) and began to think about what kind of hardware testing programs would be offered. When they found out that "Precision CRT Display" would be installed on the system, they immediately decided that "some kind of visual/interactive game" would be the PDP-1 option display software. And after some discussion, it was immediately decided whether it would be a space war game or something similar. After this decision, all other ideas came out very quickly: like the rules of the game, design ideas, planning ideas, and so on.

So after about 200 hours of work, the first version of the game was finally ready for testing. The game consisted of two spacecraft (successfully named players "pencil" and "wedge") arrows shooting at each other with a star in the middle of the display ("pulling" both spacecraft because of its gravitational force). A set of control switches were used to control each spacecraft (rotation, speed, arrows, and "hyperspace"). Each spaceship has a limited amount of fuel and weapons, and the hyperspace option was like a "panic button", in case there was no other way out (it could "save or break you").

The computer game became an instant success among MIT students and programmers, and they soon began making their own changes to the game system (such as real-time background charts, star / non-star option, background disable option, angular dynamic option, among others). Game code was transferred to many other computer platforms (as the game required a video display, an option hard to find in 1960s programs, it was widely exported to new/cheap DEC programs like PDP-10 and PDP-11).

Spacewar! is not only regarded by many as the first “real” video game (as this game has a video presentation) but also proven as a true precursor to the real arcade games, as well as being the inspiration for many. other video games, consoles, and video game companies (can you say "Atari"? ...). But that’s another story, in-store games and video games were written on a separate page of video game history (so stay tuned for upcoming articles on these topics).

So here are the nominees for the "First Video Game". Who do you think was the first video game to ever be made? Instead of looking at which video game was the first, most importantly created, time. As the creator of "Spacewar!", Stephen Rusell, once said: "If I had not done it, someone would have done something equally exciting or better in the next six months. I just got there first".

How to Choose Video Games Both Parents And Their Children Will Love It

 How to Choose Video Games Both Parents And Their Children Will Love It

By Jerome Higbee 

To hear parents say this, a complete video game is instructive, offers life lessons, strengthens eye-eye contact, and keeps kids happy for about 30 minutes at a time. Listening to children, however, seems to have the advantages of education far below the requirements of speed, action, rad movement, and heavy weapons. It is hard to believe that there are games that meet the expectations of both parents and children.

Parents should always make time to play games with their children; The only problem with using this video game selection option is the fact that the game is already in the house and the money spent. Open games are seldom restored and once they are in the house with their warm little hands, children will not let go of the games without much arguing, complaining, and frustration. Therefore, making an informed decision before bringing games home is a must!

So how can a parent choose a video game that the children will play? Reading the back cover is less likely to present more information while the online buzz may be so incorrectly filled with internal language that it is difficult to determine if the game is appropriate, very violent, or perhaps containing questionable content.

At the same time, because the game is so popular and the evening news shows long lines of customers waiting outside the store for sale, it does not mean that it offers the kind of game the parent wants to invite. at home. Fortunately, there are five easy steps to choose video games that parents and their children will enjoy. These steps are not difficult, they require little effort, and they are reliable.

1. Check the ESRB Rate

Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has developed a rating system that measures game content according to age. Ratings are "EC," "E," "E 10+," "T," "M," "AO," and "RP."

The "EC" games are educational and entertaining for preschool and elementary school children. "E" notes that the games are suitable for all players, and although preschool children may have a learning curve to make the gameplay properly, there is no questionable content. Beware of games limited to "E 10+" as these games are reserved for children over 10 years of age. Some cool language is usually included in the game.

A game rated "T" is reserved for teens, and parents should know that violence, sexual harassment, nudity, and verbal abuse are the same as the subject. Adult "M" shows games for those over the age of 17 and blood, intestines, guineas, and sex are a myth in these games. To increase ante games marked "AO" or adults only, as "M" is not a square. The "RP" rating simply means that the rating is pending, and parents should stop buying the game until the rating is split.

2. Read ESRB Content Descriptors

Since preschool and grade students may not be automatically included in the age brackets but should be significantly separated by their maturity levels, parents would be wise to read the ESRB content descriptions behind the video game packages. The listing content may be controversial.

For example, "moving blood" refers to the purple, green, or other blood types that may be displayed during a game, whereas "blood" listing indicates that the blood actually produced is part of the game. Children with severe allergies may not enjoy playing these games, even if they are limited to their age brackets.

3. Understand Sections When Buying Older Children

Parents who have been convinced of the right age values, and who are successful in learning the meanings now may be frustrated by another category: the kind of game children can expect.

Older children may prefer "FPS" (First Person Shooter) games that put them into action from a first-person perspective, rather than seeing the character in control act - which is the case with "TPS" (Third Person Shooter) games. Additionally, some games are categorized by the content that provides the story line, such as car simulation games, strategy games, or sports and puzzle games.

Shooter games are very violent while strategy games are probably the most educational. Complex games require strategic thinking but do not provide many activities that appeal to young people.

4. Visit the Game Developer Website

Parents may visit the website to find a gadget that will eventually allow children to play video games. This could be the PlayStation website, GameCube, Nintendo, Xbox, and a host of sub-platforms. Companies list their own video games, their ratings, and often send trailers, screenshots, and short versions of the game itself.

While such a website does not offer in-depth and impartial analysis of the game, it is a very useful tool for getting a good feel about gameplay and content without relying solely on the scale, behind the package, or marketing efforts.

5. Check With Organizations That Offer Independent Game Ratings

There are various organizations that are not affiliated with the video game industry and still offer advice to parents. Some teams focus on academic aspects while others are based on faith and review games in this way. Find a team that meets your personal criteria and read reviews on the various games you are considering for your kids.

One of the most well-known groups is the Entertainment Consumers Association which provides insight into industry and sports. Parents who want detailed information about the games they are considering will do well to visit the forums and websites of such groups and learn from other parents whose children may already be playing these games.

Since these are interactive forums, parents have a unique ability to ask questions of other parents, and if there are any concerns about the game, this is a place where you can get more information.

When All Fails

Of course, if all else fails, there is an old fall behind in classic games with the characters. Crash Bandicoot, Mario, Spyro, and Pokémon are game characters that have been around for a long time and are a host of creatures. Even though the educational value of some of these games is undeniable, it offers distinctive entertainment, radical movements, and certainly the amount of entertainment that children enjoy. At the same time, they avoid obscene language, nudity, and outright violence against their parents.

Parents in the short term or those who are unable to find a game that meets their standards will usually find a winner in these categories. Additionally, as part of a popular series, parents and children may decide to shop together. For example, the famous Mario games offer shoots such as "Luigi's Mansion" which provide a test of a crowded house, while other shoots are games of chasing carts.

Playing a completely different game - yet the same characters ensures the same level of fitness - makes this a great opportunity for parents and children to agree on a game that kids would love to try while staying away from potentially powerful games. give the same game.

5 Most Important Things For Your Game

 5 Most Important Things For Your Game

By Jim Rothfork 

So you decided to throw yourself into the world of game development, put together a team of powerful heroes to deal with all the big problems, and get ready to create the next best game in the industry ... trumping WoW, Guild Wars .. (gets the point). You’ve decided all your thoughts and put together some really sharp ideas for the story and you’re ready to go. But in the midst of all the planning, character ideas, holes, and demands - what are the most important aspects of your game that will determine whether a person enjoys it? Keep reading, and let me share with you what I think.

If you decide to go it cheap and risk the low bandwidth you are only fooling yourself. There is probably a lot of this that will stop you or help you on your way, and your order may be different from mine, but this is what I always hold as the most important. Next week we will reveal each aspect, and by the end of the week, we will conclude with a full article. For today we will start at the top, at number 5.

Number 5: Story

When you make your game, there is no better inspiration for features and functions, requirements and holes, than a well-developed and custom-designed storyline. Some may object to this statement, saying that the storyline is easily overshadowed and unnecessary if you have strong images that make your fingers bite, or if you fight so hard that you get out of the way behind your monitor. While these things contribute to an amazing game and can lead to great fun (actually, they are on the list too!), They cannot shut down the history of news shortages. The one thing most players crave, whether they realize it or not, is the strong story that leads them to take care of the game - it seduces you - and makes you feel like your uncontrollable dreams can happen in this place. The storyline can be so simple and straightforward when it is so flawless that it works like a crux of the whole game (EVE Online: Flying in the Sky, Blowing People in the Sky ...) and at the same time very rich and deep in theory (the complexities of the EVE story are great so much so that it binds even the basic ships and the basics) that it compels the players to write their own histories.

Storytelling not only helps players get involved in everything you have enslaved and worked for, but it helps you as an engineer in your entire journey. If you were smart, and from the beginning, you dreamed of a deep intoxicating history of your game preparation, you will always work for you throughout the development. It will provide clues as to what features want to be part of the game, what does not need to be included, and what does not fit or not fit. My professor of architecture once said, when talking about part of an architectural analysis that we can find out more about what we should be building on a building site by visiting the site, and “imagining an invisible building that wants to build. built ". This is true in architecture, and it is especially true in game development and dream story/game setting.

The story may be important, but is it more important than the fast-paced game setting that is so rich and healthy that you are tempted to stay forever? Well, maybe - as long as your 3d representation isn't tied to hundreds of thousands of evil or quad polygons. Why is Artwork so important in the world, anyway?

Number 4: Artwork

I have heard many times, many times that the artwork/models / 3d characters found in your game will not make or break things. I agree with this that it will not make or break the whole game, but the artwork and the visual/emotional models definitely help you on your way. Think of any movie you have ever seen where the sets were so stunning and amazing - one such example (though not as "recent") is the Lord of the Rings movies. Throughout the movies, rich and varied settings are plentiful, and they serve as an incredible feature. Was the movie "broken" by the less shocking scenes? Probably not, because in the case of the Lord of the Rings, there were many other amazing features. you can be seen in the gaming industry.I play games with the best pictures (EVE Online) and the other non-games (Dark Ages).

Additionally, your artwork can have a detrimental effect on your game mechanics. Many engineers consider an extremely important part of their 3d models - the poly count ... That is, the number of triangles (or * shiver * quad) your game has. Most of the free 3d models you can find online are good, but they are so amazing that to use them on a computer, the real-time location would not be wise because you usually try to attract as many systems as possible. Console systems have the luxury (a big part) of assuming that everyone is running in the playground. Those of us who develop computer games do not have this luxury. Suffice it to say, it is important to find the quality, content of the low poly game, and there is enough so that there is no reason for you to throw your game full of 10,000 poly range characters (many online companies limit their avatars, or characters, to about polys 2500-5000).

If you reduce your poly count to your 3d models, your environment will be smoother than a very wide range of computers ... in general. One thing to keep in mind throughout this process is how your engine handles polygons, as well as determining which type of poly you want to target characters and the world. In most cases, the top grain pollen is very acceptable, and the area (buildings, trees, etc.) is very low. Another aspect of the engine that should be kept in mind is whether the engine supports Level of Detail (LOD). LOD for those who do not know the system where the engine will use the lowest polytypes of the model when the player is remote, swapping out the model externally and externally to get high-quality versions as you approach it. To my knowledge, almost every existing engine supports LOD, but some like Active Worlds do not.

On the road, we go with Number 3: Music! Some may say (and argue) that online game music should be included in the "Artwork" category - while this may be true depending on how you look, music in the game is incredibly important * outside * your 3d. 3d models and characters so it finds its place.

Number 3: Music

In many ways music is the heart and soul of any space you can create in 3D - it is actually a sound strategy through which events take place, players win battles, return home, and so on. Music is an important tool used to set the mood in any setting, and without it your game will feel dead and as if something is missing. In many ways, music helps to express to the player a sense of place, enhances and emphasizes what is relevant to your player. Do you want them to feel sad, anxious, happy, and scared? Because hearing is one of our main senses (sight, smell, etc.), one might argue that it is equally powerful in connecting and creating memories. It should be one of your * highest goals * to make people remember your game - to make your game memorable is one of the tricks that make it fun and something people will tell their friends. Hearing, and the music in your game is one of the subtleties that play a big role in how the place * feels *. Think about how your favorite movie would sound without sound and music?

This highlights another important aspect that is a subset of music: sound effects. Although music is a key factor in giving your environment a certain feeling and health, the effects of sound are what make the environment visible and sound real. When the player is able to drop the rubbish and as a result feel the scratching of the aluminum and tin rolling on the concrete they stand on, the player has an increased sense of contact with the environment. Think of the impact that life can have on a player's life from walking on a rock, where his shoes might be trapped, to dust or mud, where the sound would change dramatically. making good games is about having knowledge of the small (but powerful) details that immerse your player.

Many freelance engineers may avoid paying close attention to game music because it can be difficult to find in people with a limited budget. While music can be expensive (okay, no fooling 'expensive) to customize, you can find great deals with free music that can be purchased online. In most cases these tracks are operational, and they are available with flexible licenses - either private or commercial studios. It is not uncommon to make an example, getting 5-6 tracks on an indie license for about $ 100.

GarageGames.com has great deals on music and audio effects - the sound effects that are available when you are a subscriber. You can access this page directly by visiting their content packages.

Gamedev.net also has great resources related to game music and offers a good list of sites containing stock and free royal music. Check it out here.

Over time it may be best to include in our catalog excellent music resources. See that later. In the meantime, let us know what you think about Music and Sound Effects within the games you've played, even if you think it works and is important for your game ... And if you don't agree, you can let us know, too!

Now that we've covered a lot of the flesh of your game (Story, Artwork, Music), we're going to make a little progress in game design and really define the skeletal structure of your game - the backbone, something in the end. keeps people coming back to your game every day. The story, art, and music are important elements that will make your game feel good, and make it less likely that people will stand in your neighborhood, and then look around and ask, "What's wrong?" But in the end, when it comes to improving your game, we are now moving on to what really matters. That brings us to today's site ...

Number 2: Game Flow

When it comes to game design in today's world there are three main types of flow that you can follow in the game. What exactly is the flow of the game? The flow of the game, or the structure of your game, is how players interact with it and story events, interests, missions, etc. It determines if players can go out and make the game what they want it to be, or if it is locked. get into the track that leads them into traps and their games. Ideally, the three types of flow are as follows: Sandbox, Roller-coaster, and a mixture of the two. In many cases, the way your game engages people, and how it forces them to participate in the environment and the continuity of the game will determine the types of players you are attracted to in your game.

The "normal" gameplay style or rather the most commonly used in the past has been that of the "Roller-coaster". This type of gameplay is just as the name implies - users start the game (ride) and lead carefully with the plot, the climax of the story, the traps, the exciting twists, and finally, the game ends with a chase for fun. This can also be compared to the information given in a book where there is a definite beginning and end. Many existing RPGs fall into this category, where your goals in the game are clearly defined (defeat the evil demons in the sea and save the beautiful girl), and although these games are very fun, in some ways the system does not. always work in multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) where you have hundreds, hundreds, even thousands of people participating. This does not mean that there are no MMOs out there (Guild Wars comes straight to mind), and this does not mean that MMORPGs that go the Roller-Coaster path are not as fun (as Guild Wars is). This means that in recent years people have begun to love a new kind of game where the options seem endless, and if instead of rescuing that beautiful girl from the evil demons of the sea, you want to go and be an innocent farmer. ... more power for you!

Install "Sandbox" games. In recent years there has been a lot of push in these sandboxes where people can do what they like. Similar to roller-coaster games, the name is similar to its real-life part, sandbox. The idea is that when you get into a game if you decide not to ignore the continuous and quiet story (remember our beautiful girl), you can do that without any significant consequences. This type of game is sometimes said to attract a lot of strong-style players, though I'm not sure I'm fully immersed in that philosophy. Many times I have found many regular players in sandbox-type games who just enjoy interacting with others, mining together, exploring, etc., without all the crazy time-honored pursuit of big story events. Many of these games can feature political and religious programs, as well as a variety of activities. From what I've seen though, these games tend to take longer than roller-coaster games, just because of the time you need to hide from your character to make your own way (and succeed in it). While many others do not agree with me here, I would say that EVE Online is classified as a sandbox, as most EVEs content, gameplay, and activities are created and promoted by the players themselves. GTA3 is also considered by many as a sandbox game. That in itself is an important point: in the sandboxes, you will often find a wealth of programs run by players themselves, such as organizations and teams - there is often a fortune in a game driven entirely by players who sell their own products.

Finally, we recently came to a point where some people are discussing ways to do what you might call a mixture between sandbox and roller-coaster games. I'll still have a good example of how this is done (or how someone works in one), and I've heard it talked about a little bit here and there. In what I am collecting though, there will be a few basic articles available at once, which give users a choice of how to proceed, and in a way that gives ample opportunity for players to deviate from their paths, while still allowing. to get back to the main story. Some may also classify this primarily as a sandbox, but I would argue that if at any given time there is a major reference from lectures, news lines, and content-driven by an engineer, you are starting to get the most out of roller-coaster material. If you have ever encountered what you might consider a good example of a hybrid sandbox roller-coaster, please let me know! If you have read any of the "Choose Your Own" style books that hit elementary and middle schools, you will understand what a sandbox roller-coaster mix can look like. Although the player has a choice (perhaps many options, many!), Things are ultimately "controlled" by the whole storyline while leaving space for player-created content. At the end of the day, all of that is easier said than done.

Ultimately, deciding which game system you use, or the "Game Flow" method you use will be important in improving your game. As a storyline, it will give you guidance and help you easily make decisions about whether a particular feature can fit into your game. Not only will it help you make decisions, but it will also help you shape your game. Coordination and determination are absolutely essential to the development of the game, and deciding on the flow of the game will help you at least in the control department;)

We have integrated the most important aspects of your game environment - from visual stimulation, with sounds that draw your travelers deeper into your game, to inspirational stories and game justice that help shape your players' characters. However, at the end of the day, there is one element that will bring everything home and determine if your game explodes with willing players or an empty city.

Number 1: Jobs, baby!

While friends in-game come and go, applications are released and beaten, items are revealed and later sung - at the end of the day the gaming community is not the same as the general community; we are a condemned group of people. We love to love the hot stuff, spells, houses, demands, but in the end, they become a thing of the past and stop entertaining the people who have been around your game for a long time. Many games falter because they do not see the need for new content, even if the content you already have is incredible. The average player can use your mid-game game in less than a month and if you plan on releasing a game with monthly subscriptions, or the need to keep players extended, that is bad news for you. Finally the solution for "What's next?" and "Why do people leave?" to fill your game with all nooks and crannies with important content and * things to do *. From this point of view, a lot of game dissatisfaction emerges which means that it is not only important to have a lot of activities in the game when it is first released but to track those activities with new things you can explore, discover, and participate in the months and years of game life.

Not only does giving and organizing activities in the early stages of your game design help create a game that will be fun to play, but it can also help promote other areas of your development. Events can inspire your story, and your story can help give you ideas for activities and new plot lines, for example. In many ways, this part of your game will help build and motivate the community within your game, which ultimately connects people and certain games: friends and community that can be left behind if you ever go.

Ideally, there are plenty of event and activity types you can create within your game. Some of them are international-style events involving almost everyone working in the area at the time. Examples of such events could be those related to real-world holidays such as Christmas, Halloween, etc. Often those times are in games where when nothing new happens, your game will lose real life in the fun phase. . People will choose to spend time doing things without playing your game, in that case. Now, while we at TGS value family time and everything, this is bad news for you. Create global events that match real-life events that will make the inside of your space this time fun, exciting, and give a holiday atmosphere to your players. There are also regular events, such as player selections and hunting teams that give your players something to do throughout the year. Prepare these activities and make them easily accessible to players so that these can be things they can easily participate in and enjoy.

There are countless numbers of events you can add to your game to make things more fun - we just added a very small number of them here. Perhaps in a recent post, we could create another article to encourage you a little bit in this section. We'll see! The important thing to remember when judging whether “jobs” are very important to you or not: an online game is the best if there are a lot of things you can do with others. If your game is for socializing, it will probably be quiet and empty, and let's face it - do we expect people to play (and pay for) free online games? Food for thought.

The growing popularity of Free & Normal Games

 The growing popularity of Free & Normal Games

By Joshua Finley 

Free online games have exploded over the past 10 years and now include a large collection of game developers, publishers, websites, and millions of casual gamers. Skilled game developers are more limited than publishers and portals, yet they are also slowly growing in supply as many companies and brands look for high-quality sponsorship deals for upcoming free games.

Extensive product exposure can be obtained from sponsoring free online games and many companies are looking at game sponsorship and game product placement as a sensitive marketing platform. The most popular platforms with a large number of game-focused sites that offer developer creations, indeed some game developers also offer their own web communications like Ninjakiwi and Armor Games. These are the most popular and creative game developers with Armor Games with a maximum of 1000 traffic.

After such successes, there are talented flash game designers and coders, usually one or two experienced designers who plant seeds where high-end gaming websites thrive. Unusual games for both free and paid downloads have become so popular online that the genre has a huge presence on the most smuggled websites in the world.

Ninjakiwi has an in-house team of developers, who own the most popular sports brand called Bloons. The first game for the Bloons was launched back in mid-2007 and the series has been played hundreds of millions of times. When you compare the level of audience exposure with the most popular video viewed on youtube, it is easy to see why advertisers are turning to free online games to reach the world's audience. What is most interesting is the presence of people who follow the gameplay with a large percentage of the audience becoming adults. This demographic has attracted the attention of many green chip companies, including the Orange and O2 mobile phone giant, who are constantly advertising Mochiad - the game's first-ever advertising platform.

As advertising revenue grows for free games as well as creativity, details, and complexity of its design. Engineers are now creating games specifically targeted at a certain age, which includes teens, adults, and mothers.

The Ninjakiwis game list is growing rapidly. As their product received major exposure last year they have come out of their first Bloons success to produce some games with different scores, some received with greater enthusiasm than others. Some of their successes include:

Bloons - Includes player packs, multiple bloons and more bloons, tower defense games, hot air balloon, bloons pop 3

Boombot Games - 1 and 2

Hotcorn Games - 1 and 2

Potion Madness

Powerpool

Repeat Racing - 1 and 2

Rings

Shinju

Sinta

Zeba

Ninjakiwi has established a loyal fan base with its wide range published in hundreds of medium to large game sites. One of their marketing platforms with the aforementioned Mochiad is a large advertising platform for both game developers and game developers who earn money by publishing games. A small ad is displayed while each game is uploaded to a web browser, with developers and publishers earning money from game appearances and clicking ads.

One of the aforementioned free game engineers, Armor Games, is the largest of the 2. Weapons develop into home games and support independent engineers, sponsor their own creations, and offer revenue sharing across their entire marketing platform. Armed Games has a much wider range of games than Ninjakiwi and has funded the creation of some of the most popular online games, a list of some of its best games is listed below:

Armed with Wings - 1 and 2

Grease the Castle

Hedgehog Launch

Introduction to Hedgehog 2

Fancy Pants Adventure - 1 and 2

Gemcraft

Gemcraft Chapter 0

Last Stand 1 & 2

Break the Village

Sonny

Sonny 2

Warfare 1917

It is common to find engineers and portals sharing games with each other. This idea was originally requested by the largest free online game provider - Miniclip.com. Their success has grown from allowing webmasters to publish their games on thousands of smaller sites. Sharing and creating copies of successful games can prove a very profitable strategy online.

There are many high-quality game developers, publishers, and sites, to talk about including Crazy Monkey Games, Addictive Games, Newgrounds, and Kongregate.

Free game production has also seen the redesign of many classic arcade games that will delight fans of the 80's games.

Old games like PacMan, Ms. PacMan, Space Invaders, Pong, and Frogger have all been redesigned using flash and are now available for play as free online games. Paul Neave, a talented flash developer is responsible for flash reproduction.

Communities of elaborate flash games have emerged during this historic period of 10 years of growth. One example of the popular community MechQuest, this is one of the 5 games created by Artix Entertainment. MechQuest is an online Fantasy / Sci-Fi Web RPG game that offers both the free and the premium side. The game is built using flash and has millions of members in its community. Balancing the balance between normal gameplay and hardcore aims to provide the consistency that allows players who do not wish to spend the whole day on their PC the feeling of a normal multiplayer experience.

Yes, free online games like MechQuest, AdventureQuest, DragonFable, ArchKnight, and BattleOn.com are a step towards the right way for online games to be about you (from a healthy perspective), giving players the capacity balanced. online entertainment that does not require a lifetime commitment to develop and benefit from game rewards. The opposite theme could be games like World of Warcraft designed to reward extreme game costs.

The free gaming market will continue its rapid growth in the foreseeable future and many engineers will enter the market. That flash will always be the main publishing platform remains to be seen but for now, it will retain its leading position for all free online game developers using it. Fans can expect to find many free online flash games introduced in the coming years as free games compete and become more accessible to the audience of the paid game.

Many of the free online games mentioned above can be played all over at Lunatic Games, including the famous Ninjakiwi monkey games [http://www.balloonmonkeygame.com/].

Is Switching Video Games With Other Games Players the Best Way to Play New Video Games?

 Is Switching Video Games With Other Games Players the Best Way to Play New Video Games?

By John Dunne

Every player goes through the process of purchasing new video gameplay until you get tired or finish it and then move on to the next game. For some, the sale price of £ 40 (~ $ 60) for most new video games makes going to the next game a daunting task, making games an expensive undertaking! This article will discuss a few ways to buy/acquire new video games available to gamers and consider whether video game swap sites represent the best possible value for a player when they go to a new video game.

Trading Video Games

Trading your video game at a local store is one way - this usually means losing more than half of the original game value. And the local store will probably sell your video game at a significantly higher price. So the value trading they offer will not get you much in the store so you will still have to donate extra money to get a new game. However, this process is convenient and you have your next game in hand as soon as you are in the store!

Benefits:

1. Easy

2. Immediately

Disadvantages:

1. Low-value trading

2. A higher promotion by the seller means you pay more for the next game

Video Game Rental

Joining a game rental service, such as Boomerang or Lovefilm, is another option. You usually pay a small monthly subscription fee and get a limited number of games that you can keep for as long as you like. The level of such services varies greatly and the biggest hurdle here is that you have to keep a list of the games you want - leading you to find out which game the rental company has in stock when they get refunded games. So the danger here is that you may not really find the game at the top of your list. Other obstacles include waiting a long time for the one game you want - or getting the games scratched until your console does not play! Most importantly, you spend all that money every month and you actually have nothing in the end - it is argued that there is a better profit to buy a game, keep it until you finish it, and then trade it once and for all.

In addition, the price for this service varies from game to game. Some games can be completed within a few days of play, so the actual cost of playing this game is part of the monthly subscription fee. And some games will be played for many years, making playing these games for rent more expensive! So in this sense, renting has the advantage of allowing you to try out a large number of games for a monthly subscription fee. If you think the game has a long-term value, you can simply buy a safe game knowing that you will be playing this game for a long time to come! However, PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 players can try out new games by downloading them, silencing this point in their case.

Another game rental option is usually available in the local video store. Rental costs are usually 5% to 10% of video game costs up to 7 days of play. Using a local video store to rent games is easy and the amount of service to you depends on whether you actually finished the game or decided it was not your thing (i.e. you gained a lot from it) before the game ended. back.

Benefits:

1. Large collection to choose from

2. It is easy to find new video games as you complete old ones

3. You get to try a large number of games for a small subscription fee.

Disadvantages:

1. Don't get the game you want

2. It may wait a long time for games depending on the companies renting stock levels

3. You actually have nothing in the end

Selling your video games

Another route is to sell a video game. One of the best ways to sell is to sell your game on eBay or TheGameCollective. If the game is recent and popular, you will probably get a good price - which may be more than what the local store could afford, and you should have to wait a few more days for the auction/sale to complete then. post your game. A little easier than a local store but for many, the extra value in a video game is worth it.

The downside is that eBay will reduce the current sales value by 8.25% of the final deposit and if you accept PayPal payment, you will have to pay another amount (~ 4%), representing a loss of up to 12% of the final amount (unless you are cunning and constructive this is at the price of P&P - but that is a distraction for many!).

Benefits:

1. It can get a good value for your game

2. Very simple

Disadvantages:

1. You have to wait a few days for the sale to be agreed

2. Commissions on final sales price

Video Game Switching

Exchanging video games with an online game exchange network is another option. These sites include TheGameCollective, game jam, or hitflip and for a small fee / free of charge these sites will allow gamers to agree on exchanges and exchange home addresses, and send their games to each other. This service gives gamers the opportunity to play new video games about shipping costs. So in this sense, the game switch option offers great value for the player realizing the value.

Game swap is currently not widely accepted so unless a game swap site encounters game overload the player may have to wait a while to get the video game swap they want. This can take a while depending on the popularity of the game so in this game swap is not as easy as it sounds, trading. But as game switching becomes more popular, the process of switching to new video games is set to become the best value experience.

Benefits:

1. It can be obtained at shipping costs

2. It is easy to find new video games as you complete old ones

Disadvantages:

1. You may have to wait a long time to find another player who is willing to change

John Dunne has been an avid gamer for over 20 years and has set up a flexible video game website TheGameCollective.co.uk [http://TheGameCollective.co.uk] to help gamers exchange and sell their video games for free to help us. benefit the most from sports.
