Where is the gay video game star? Sure, there have been minor dalliances here and there, but where is the certifiable gay gaming star? It may not seem like a big issue, and perhaps in the grand scheme of things it is not. However, as other minority groups begin to pop up as game stars more often, it does seem that homosexuals are one group left out in the cold, so to speak.
It seems difficult to imagine someone improving on the lovingly crafted Resident Evil films. After all, they take the continuity and character development of the games so seriously. However, it looks like Capcom might have pulled off the impossible–a good Resident Evil movie!
The NBA Live series was once the dominant basketball franchise back in the 16-bit days. But for years now it has been overshadowed by 2K Sports’ NBA 2K series. Each year Electronic Arts makes new promises, and each year they’re still a few steps behind.
You have likely read by now that some female gamers are quite upset over the Sony title Fat Princess. In the game players control a princess whom they must feed to make her fat enough that she can’t be caught. Yes, it is far from the Shakespeare of games. However, the notably crude game concept has offended some, and they’re being vocal about it.
Two different blogs run by female gamers have voiced their concern and upset over the game, but that isn’t the real issue here. You see, whether the game is in bad taste or not, the bigger issue exposed has been from the reaction both blog posts have received. In a move very reminiscent to the uproars over sexism toward Jade Raymond and racism in the Resident Evil 5 trailer, gamers have exposed quite a bit about their general attitudes.
The Madden Football games get a bum rap. From one perspective, they’re incredibly detailed, enjoyable football games. On the other hand, they hold a monopoly on NFL licensed titles and are therefore going to get labeled as “cheap” whether they are or not. Still, some innovations in game design make better arguments for one side over the other.
Sonic Unleashed is the last glimmer of hope among many Sonic fans that the little blue Hedgehog might finally get one last decent console game. It’s been a while since Sonic Adventure 2, and even that was a step down from the original Sonic Adventure. The above trailer appears to be part of a semi-viral advertising campaign for the little blue fellow. It’s clever, but it might have worked better before other trailers were released revealing the game’s “twist.”
There was a time when E3 was a really, really big deal. Now, it’s simply a really big deal. One of the biggest factors of its whole big dealness comes from the console manufacturers’ press conferences. They typically range from the epic (introduction of the Wii) to the horribly, horribly wrong (introduction of the PS3 and real-time weapon changing). So how did this year go for Sony?

File this one under bizarre, but this young man has suddenly put some impressive work into his hobby. The video showcases a young man who has essentially recreated all of Halo’s weaponry from cardboard. Sure, that isn’t as impressive as some models, but considering the time and effort spent by someone so young, this is well worth seeing. When you see him pull out the machine gun turret, that’s when you know this kid is truly cool.
