Video Game Release Dates Suck!

GamersLand — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 22:10:20 +0000

I’ve never seen anyone complain about this, but than again I don’t read every single article on the internet. Or maybe I’m just crazy.

Why do they release new games at the beginning of the week and not towards the end? When I’m excited about a new game that’s shipping I get really bummed that I have to wait all week to have some quality time with it. Usually that equals to a slow week just waiting for Friday to roll around.

I’m sure there are some industry regulations that create this situation, but in either case, wouldn’t it be better if ship dates fell on Thursday’s and Friday’s?

Turn Your XBMC Media Centre Into A Video Game Console

GamersLand — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 19:51:15 +0000

We love XBMC media centres for watching movies and TV, but if you like video games, they can do so much more. With a simple plug-in, some configuration and a USB gamepad, you can play video games straight from your set-top box.

As if your media centre wasn’t cool enough on its own, you can turn it into an all-in-one game console with just a bit of tweaking. After setting it all up, you’ll be able to scroll through your XBMC library just as you would movies and pick out a video game to play right there on your TV, whether it’s as old as the NES (using emulators) or as new as the Xbox 360 (using PC versions of popular console games).

If you don’t have an XBMC-based media centre yet, then…

New video game academy won’t be child’s play

GamersLand — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 19:45:42 +0000

Jheremi Powers is looking forward to his senior year when the varsity linebacker hopes to turn his affinity for Madden football video games into a career.

The Willowridge High School student is hoping to be accepted into the school’s new Academy of Game Design and Development where he’ll study video games through 2D and 3D animation, graphics, conceptual art, lighting and sound mixing.

“I already like video games, so doing it as a career, I want to do all of it and make my own games,” Powers said.

The Fort Bend Independent School District is focused on recruiting incoming freshman for the program, which is open to all Fort Bend ISD students and launches in the fall, but…

4 Reasons the iPhone Is a (Video)Game Changer

GamersLand — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 18:51:50 +0000

When it comes to innovation and accessibility, the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch are collectively the most exciting gaming platform since the early 90s. Who would have thought a cell phone would become the most diverse and innovative video game console?

For this, credit can only partially be given to Apple. Though Apple created the platform, the initiative and passion of thousands of individual game developers (and relatively small development studios) have made iPhone gaming what it is. Those developers resemble…

Inside Sega’s New Focus

GamersLand — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 05:37:57 +0000

Yesterday, Sega laid off 73 of its employees as part of a structural reorganization to focus on digital games (such as iPhone, Facebook and Xbox Live Arcade) and move all administrative duties and traditional console game development to its London office. The news may have seemed shocking to most, but according to Sega West CEO Mike Hayes, it has been happening behind the scene for the past six months or so as part of the natural evolution of the company – and perhaps, the games industry as a whole.

1UP caught up with Hayes over the phone — volcanic ash was keeping him grounded in London — and discussed the rationale for this dramatic…

Splinter Cell Conviction: Contrarian Corner

GamersLand — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 00:16:00 +0000

Contrarian Corner is a feature meant to take a critical look at some recently-released games, a place for a more holistic discussion of titles which have been the recipient of either an abundance of single-minded praise, or an undue amount of criticism. Our intent is not to contradict or undercut our own reviews, but rather to expand the spectrum of discussion on some of the most important games of each year. If you’re interested in joining that discussion, keep reading.

Make sure to read Hilary Goldstein’s Splinter Cell: Conviction review for IGN’s official thoughts on the game. And be forewarned — if you haven’t finished the game, spoilers will be discussed below.

The best part of not knowing something comes in formulating the first question, the first descent into the murky underworld where specters collude with one another in the business of hiding the truth. Tom Clancy has built a near pornographic brand for himself with the seductive invention…
