Now We Need Two Screens To Play Games?


Now We Need Two Screens To Play Games? 01/22/2004 03:08 AM
Lots of folks talking about Nintendo's latest efforts to stay ahead of the quickly approaching competition for handheld video game players. Since all those others are trying to take the basic success of the Nintendo Gameboy and build on that, Nintendo apparently decided to rethink the whole concept and go in a different direction. Therefore, they've decided to create a gaming device that includes dual screens. We had reported back in November the rumor that Nintendo was working on a secret new product that wasn't an update to the Gameboy or to the GameCube - and apparently this is it (and, it's not, as we had thought it might be, their "iQue" in-between device). Of course, if you're going to come out with a completely new, funky device, it certainly would help to offer a picture - which they didn't. The idea is interesting, but will require an entirely thought process in creating games. Nintendo says the dual screens can be use to show two different perspectives during the game, or perhaps one screen could show a map and the other could be the in-game perspective. It certainly opens up some possibilities, but in the gaming business, the question is always about what software titles you have, and making it trickier to develop software titles could slow that process down. From the sound of things though, I think Nintendo is kidding themselves if they think this device won't take away from Gameboy sales. How many portable gaming devices do you really need? Also, there's no word on whether or not this device will include any wireless capabilities, which seems to be what many competitors are banking on.

Perhaps it says something about the intellectual sophistication of ancient cultures that some of the most entertaining games in existence are thousands of years old: backgammon , Go, manc ala... The now-ubiquitous chess is a relative newcomer, dating back merely 1400 years. One wonders whether Boggle or Mono poly will withstand the test of time so well.

Child's Play Part II


Child's Play Part II 12/27/2004 03:23 PM

Last November, EGM got together a bunch of 11 and 12-year-olds and asked them their opinions of Pong, Space Invaders, and other games from our youth. Needless to say, they weren't kind.

EGM has do ne it again this year, with entertaining results.

The kids were harsh:

EGM: Before this came out in compilations, we used to put quarters in arcade machines.

Parker: You wasted quarters on this?

EGM: Yeah.

Parker: That's so sad.

They nailed a few things, though:

EGM: Do you know that in these types of games, people spend hours and hours trying to break world records.

Parker: Like that guy who beat Pac-Man? With the long beard?

Garret: Billy Mitchell.

EGM: What do you think of him?

Parker: He's a complete loser. Doesn't he have a mullet?

Garret: That's bad.

Dillon: What a freak.

President of Video Game Company
Engineers Live HFStival Festival
Broadcast with 68,000 in Attendance
05/31/2004 01:55 PM
On a clear, hot day at RFK stadium in Washington, D.C., celebrated, Grammy nominated, recording engineer Bill Mueller returned to his first love – live broadcast engineering. Although president and owner of Vision Videogames of Towson Maryland, Mueller still manages to return to his roots by working directly in the live recording industry several times a year. He is no stranger to the HFStival having engineered it five times in the last six years. So far, this year’s additions to Mueller’s extensive rock resume include The Offspring, Yellowcard, Violent Femmes, New Found Glory, P.O.D., Voodoo Blue, and O.A.R. His other audio engineering credits include two Tibetan Freedom Concerts, Earth Day celebrations, Live from the House of Blues and over one hundred and fifty major artists including Aerosmith, Green Day, Pearl Jam, Eminem, Pink Floyd, ZZ Top, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, Sheryl Crow, and Puff Daddy. With a 30-year history in the music industry, Mueller believes in exposing new musical talent through the video game format. “The video game is the single strongest vehicle for breaking new music today. If you want your music heard, you have to get it in front of the audience. Today, there are millions of music loving people playing games.” [PRWEB May 27, 2004]
