Violent Video Games Doesn't Make Killers Out of Kids, It Makes Retards Out of Them

November 1st 2007 17:03

Violence is something that is difficult for children to comprehend. Even if it is all around them festering in various forms such as games, movies or comic books we find children don't react in a way that shows they understand and are able to deal with the violent content.

CBS has cited some research claiming that violent games makes kids act more violently (video below) yet the question is, why? And in what ways do they become more violent if they indeed even are becoming more violent.

Besides the rather obvious rhetoric 'too much videogames is bad for you' (too much water is bad for you too) the more elusive and misleading allegation of 'games make kids violent' comes into the play. The answer isn't as simple as 'they become more aggressive and hit each other or damage property because they copy what they see on TV', kids do that even without violent games. Kids who play too much violent video games, or video games for that matter will end up being problems to society in general, they won't develop any real social skills and remain closed off. If they pick up a gun later in life and go on a killing spree it's more the fault of the parents for not engaging their kids in real human to human activity but letting them play games all day.

However I do find that violent games in any dosage just isn't *good* for some kids and not in the sense it makes them more violent but more that it turns them into living breathing social retards. The following video shows two kids playing 'Doom 3', suffice to say they're laughing at the violence and probably destroying their social skills in the process.

In the end like all things parents should know what their kids are playing and should not let them play more violent games. It doens't necessarily make them more violent, it doesn't necessarily desensitize them to violent but their inability to discern fact from fiction coupled with playing lots of violent games could cut into their social development.

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Video Review

November 27th 2006 09:54

Matt Cassamasina of IGN Wii has done a video review of ‘the best Zelda game ever’.

He pretty much nails all the points I’d like to have made about the game.

Just one thing I'd like to say, the landscapes are absoloutely awesome, especially the desert ones.

Far Cry Vengeance (Trailer included)

November 8th 2006 13:12

Release Dates: US: November 19, 2006 Japan: December 31, 2006 Europe: December 8, 2006, Australia: 9th December 2006

Availble on: Nintendo Wii

‘Far Cry: Vengeance’ is an FPS (first person shooter) game from the popular jungle oriented game franchise ‘Far Cry’.

When Ubisoft announced it was coming to Wii it came as a bit of a shock to the general community, sure it is apparent Ubisoft is a key supporter of the Nintendo Wii with many games to be released on it, including ‘Red Steel’ which is another FPS, but Far Cry was always regarded as a graphics powerhouse oriented game franchise, something the Nintendo Wii isn't tooting its horn on.

First screenshots didn’t do much to create hype unfortunately, as they were bad quality and not showing much innovation, unlike other games Ubisoft shall release such as ‘Red Steel’.

The latest trailer has been released though, and it looks like there has been a marked improvement in graphics from the first screenshots released for the game. The demonstration of the Wii-Mote in action is also exceptionally well done.

ESRB has given it a mature rating, and it is not recommended for people below 17 to play. It is a cross between ‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘Rambo’, so if you are comfortable with letting your kids (or yourself) watch those movies then you are in the clear here.

Need for Speed: Carbon Wii (gameplay video included)

November 7th 2006 03:23

Release date: Coincides with Wii launch date.

Box Cover

While they are many racing games coming to the Nintendo Wii, and heres hoping most if not all will be extremely fun, none of the franchises carry the heritage that ‘Need for Speed’ does, so it is no surprise many peoples are betting on ‘Need for Speed: Carbon’ to take out the top spot for ‘most fun racing game on Wii’.

‘Carbon’ revolves around underground racing, cops and all. Cut scenes are FMV based, that is ‘Full Motion Video’ with real life actors, and cheesy as ever. Have you Seen ‘The Fast and the Furious’ or any movie from that franchise? Yeah, it is about that cheesy with some extra cheese sauce added for good measure. What you see in the cut scenes are the essence of the game, cool people, half naked women, and fast cars. Bad influence to children? I’d say yes, if you’re buying this for a youngling I suggest you stick tight to him/her and make sure they aren’t being too negatively influenced.

‘Need for Speed: Most Wanted’ is the prequel to ‘Carbon’, and in a sense one could say ‘Carbon’ is all that was ‘Most Wanted’ minus some annoyances with some extras and thrown into the mix some night races. Think ‘Need for Speed: Underground’ which was based during night time taking place in the underground without cops chasing you or anything, cross ‘Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit’, which while not set in the night in an underground setting had cops chasing after you (ironic eh?).

Interestingly ‘Need for Speed: Carbon’ is being released on just about every platform currently on the market, and coming to the market, from the humble Gameboy Advance all the way up to the Playstation 3. The advantage the Wii has above the others is obvious, the Wii-Mote. Will it be the difference here that will make ‘Need for Speed: Carbon’ the most appealing on the Nintendo Wii?

Until we can find out, heres a video demonstration of the game in action:

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (new video)

November 2nd 2006 22:12

Available on: Wii (To be released 19th of November 2006 in the USA and 9th of December 2006 in Australia)

Release Date: Wii Launch title (available same day Wii reaches store shelves)

Box cover

The Legend of Zelda franchise is the equivalent of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ to the gaming world.

No doubt you now understand the driving force of the sheer hype that is being built around the latest instalment that will be launched with the Nintendo Wii. Shigeru Miyamoto, the designer of this game said the goal was to create the best Legend of Zelda game ever, one that is to be even better than ‘Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’.

Near impossible, ‘Ocarina of Time’ has scored more 10/10’s than any other game in history by a huge margin. Now the question is if the freehand remote can do for ‘Twilight Princess’ what 3D graphics did for ‘Ocarina of Time’.

Unfortunately thus far, with only a few days for its release in the US not much is known about the game. All we can do is assume what Mr. Miyamoto is saying about it is true, that it is going to be the best of the best of the ‘Legend of Zelda’ franchise.

‘Twilight Princess’ was originally slated to be released on the GameCube about a year ago, Shigeru Miyamoto decided to hold back its release, no doubt to add more features to it, refine it some more not to mention create another version of the same game that will run on the Nintendo Wii and take advantage of its free hand controller.

To get your taste buds going I have managed to swipe a video of the opening segment of ‘Twilight Princess’, as you can see the world through which Link (the protagonist) is riding Epona (his horse) is huge.
