Fox News Talking BS

This will probably not come as much of a surprise to any of you who have ever watched Fox News but it's not usually the most balanced sort of journalism. Well they have been running their mouths off again and jumping on that quite full by now "Games are worse for your kids than cocaine sherbet dip dab" bandwagon.

Seems that one of their hack journoes found out that there is partial nudity in Mass Effect then kind of blew the whole thing out of all proportions explaining that the game "allows the characters to engage in explicitly graphic sexual intercourse" and that the game is also "distorted lesson about human sexuality and human dignity" dam this sounds great terrible and morally wrong. Point is it's not true you get to see about half an arse cheek at best. I'll let EA VP of Communications explain . Read that? Good.

Funniest part is the backlash from the internet community against the shows shrink, via her new books page on amazon. Amongst other comments left they decided to described her book as full of, "full on sex and nudity, explicitly describes sexual situations, and is the posterchild of what is wrong with books today. Of course I never read a single page of this book, but that shouldn't matter" Brilliant!

Chess (Wood)

Having worked through a few retro video games lately I thought I'd try one of the earliest I could find. Similar in play to something like Final Fantasy Tactics on the Game Boy Advanced, Chess is a deep game, easy enough to pick up but becomes brain hemorrhagingly complex very quickly. Oddly for games of this period it's multiplayer only, similar to say Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 with no single player mode. You actually have to have friends to play this and, much like the Game Boy Advanced, they must be sat in front in of you. Mercifully, batteries and link cables are not required which could explain some of its popularity. Chess has evolved a rich tournament following too and global competitions are held regularly, accumulating five times the viewers of the League of Legends World Championships. The game does have its draw backs. It’s very easy for novices to get into a none winnable situation, two pieces following each other round the board until someone nods off. A little of ...

Pokemon Sapphire (GBA)

Here we have the 3 rd Generation of Pokémon Games for the Nintendo handheld console. Sapphire and Ruby. Not a great deal has changed since the first generation and nor will it for the next six. The game consists of you skuttling around a made-up Japanese island hunting creatures into servitude. The poor beings follow you on a long excursion of frequent and arduous battles with other trainers. Eventually culminating in your crowning as Pokémon master of masters of the universe! or some such. The game is a heavily disguised version of more traditional Role-Playing Games. Rather than fighting yourself though, you thrust your hapless creatures in the role of ready cannon fodder. Carefully selecting moves against opponent types in an overly complex version of rock, paper scissors. Your minions evolve, change (sometimes unrecognisably from before) and learn completely new moves. The evolution of these little buddies is quite satisfying, and you soon become quite attached to a few of t...

System Shock 2 (PC) - The Greatest Game EVER!

Well, at least that’s what I tell people. You know what it’s like: you get into one of those discussions about why such and such is a large pile of toss, then without fail you start spouting pristine examples of the genre. Undoubtedly, you will mention Okami, Perfect Dark, Mario 64, perhaps even Silent Hill. These regurgitations are so well oiled by now that you’ll hear the same few examples spouted again and again (perhaps because there are so few good examples) until they reverberate around your own sub-consciousness and you recite them without a second thought. I’m as guilty as the rest of them I’m afraid. My own personal favourite knee-jerk reaction to such situations is System Shock 2. I’m not trying to say that those titles are totally without merit or that we’re only repeating others' opinions, just that maybe most echoes going around might be the result of a little Danger Mouse effect. You know about the Danger Mouse effect, surely? From your childhood it’s your most loved ...
