Reading this Salon article on sports video games brought back a ton of memories from college. I never got into Madden properly, but I played a ton of Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Super Bowl, and NHL '94, the latter of which is, in my estimation, the best sports video game of all time (with which Stewart would agree, I'm sure). A quote from the article: [Bo] Jackson isn't the only athlete... (with comments)

Video games in court

Video games in court 02/07/2005 02:07 AM
Cory Doctorow: I wrote a short story called Anda's Game that Salon published last year -- it's about kids working in sweatshops playing Massively Multiplayer Online RPGs, grinding through repetitive tasks to earngold for sleazy operators who sell the product of their labor on eBay. The inspiration came from a real-world account of that sort of sweatshops, which has hit the news again today, in a story about the courtroom shenanigans stemming from video games:

A multiplayer online game is sued for allowing its players to dress up like comic book heroes. An upstart company winds up in court for creating a Tijuana sweatshop to manufacture digital weaponry.

A funny thing is happening in these sprawling online multiplayer arenas. The ultimate in digital escapism, virtual worlds keep ending up in the ultimate in depressing reality: the courts.

Video Games Aren't Just For Guys...
Again 09/01/2004 08:58 PM
Every few month or so, there seems to be some random story about how only guys play video games, and how a bigger effort needs to be made to make games for women. Of course, nearly every attempt to target women specifically has failed -- but what people haven't noticed is that women are playing games all the time. In fact, they're considered some of the hardest core gamers, though, more focused on word and puzzle type games. However, that's clearly not all. New studies are showing that as new games become more character driven, instead of kill-everything-driven, women are playing those games as well. As obvious as it seems, it appears the trick to getting women to buy into video games wasn't to make games for women, but to make games for everyone.

Video Games To Boost Self-Esteem

Video Games To Boost Self-Esteem 05/07/2004 02:57 PM
Some researchers are working on special video games designed to boost the player's self-esteem. To be honest, the games sound fairly boring (which doesn't seem all that self-esteem boosting, but what do I know?). I wonder if the plan is to take these basic games and integrate the concepts into more standard video games. The basic idea is that it takes practice and conditioning to think highly of yourself. Of course, all this makes me think the game is designed for people who might identify with the Saturday Night Live character Stuart Smalley and his daily affirmations: "I'm good enough. I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me - because my video game tells me so."

Apparently, the car racing video game Gran Tourismo has been so popular helping automakers sell cars to young adults, that many car companies are starting to put out their own video games and are setting up places to play the games in dealerships. The article talks about kids who play Gran Tourismo and get so involved in modding and driving a specific car that they want that car in real life as well. However, now that the automakers are realizing this is a good way to sell cars, some are wondering if the fad is over, suggesting that as soon as the folks in suits figure something out, the kids know better than to stick around. Still, it's yet another example of companies realizing that you're better off creating promotional items that people want, and then getting them out there into the world.

Are Video Games Good For Kids?

Are Video Games Good For Kids? 08/11/2004 05:30 PM
While it does seem that the anti-videogame folks blow the danger of video games way out of proportion, a new festival seems to be going in the other direction by claimin g video games are good for kids. It's such a broad statement that it has to be untrue. Certainly, some video games might be good for kids, in helping them deal with differe nt kinds of challenges, but it hardly seems like random anecdotal evidence (about all that's presented in the article) proves that video gaming is "good." For example, the article includes this sentence: "Dr Judy Robertson, of Edinburgh University, said some children had told her during computer games workshops that playing violent games did not result in violence in real life." Just because some kids say something doesn't necessarily make it true (even if it probably is true). If they really want to show this, wouldn't it make more sense to actually promotes the ways that video games can be helpful to kids, rather than just declaring it so? I'm all for real studies that show the positive impact games have for kids, but hyping up something without substance just makes the arguments seem weak.

Video Games And Hollywood Already On The
Rocks?

Video Games And Hollywood Already On The
Rocks? 05/24/2004 12:27 PM
Over the last year or so there's been a tremendous amount of hype about how video games were "going Hollywood," as the various video game companies worked out deals to tie together new movies with new video games and new video games with new movies. There were stories about video games grossing more money than movies, and how movies were now being filmed with the video games in mind (including extra footage shot just for the video games). Now, however, just like a good Hollywood marriage, some are wondering if the relationship between video games and Hollywood is on the rocks already. Many gamers are finding that the games that are coming out based on movies aren't particularly original, fun or interesting (sounds like a lot of Hollywood movies as well...). Also, just because either the original movie or video game has a huge following, there's no guarantee that the corresponding video game or movie will be nearly as successful. Of course, at this point, it's unlikely that we're going to see any less of a relationship between the two industries, but at least the honeymoon period appears to be over.

AP - The hot new creation at the world's top video game convention may be procreation. Amid the thousands of new products at the Electronic Entertainment Expo featuring shooting, racing, punching, slashing and pummeling, a handful of upcoming titles like "The Sims 2" and "Playboy: The Mansion" have focused on "love" — or at least the physical act of it — as the player's main goal.
