Video Gamer News:

This happened back in September of 2007, but it should be known, so others don’t get shut out of World of Warcraft!

A player, by the name of Shaks, on the World of Warcraft site, is one of renown when it comes to investing in the fabulous and rare games and paraphernalia of video games.

Another player, by the name of Zeuzo, decided to sell a Level 70 Rogue armed, apparently, with the best gear in the entire game.

Well, we come to find out, that Blizzard, who runs World of Warcraft, does not appreciate people selling their WoW characters.

How did they find out? How wouldn’t they find out? This was huge news on gamer blogs and forums and it leaked back to Blizzard, who slapped a ban on Shaks from playing World of Warcraft.

Okay…so…why is this a big deal? Apparently, Shaks paid $ Continue Reading…

I was “Stumbling” around the net and found this really neat site where you can download Mac games or for Windows on your PC.

How many times have you gone to a store, bought a game for your computer, got it home, unwrapped it, tried it out, and you were completely unsatisfied?

What do you do?: Take it back to the store, right?

What do they say?: They can’t take it back because it’s already out of the package…How ridiculous, right?

What I like about this site is that you can download and play their games for free to make sure you really like the game before you buy it…If you don’t, go download another game and try it before you buy it! Great!

To find out what great website this is, check out the complete post @ Blog N’ Butter:

Are video games becoming to violent? Long gone are the classic video game days. No longer do we have Super Mario Brothers or Atari. Today the games have taken a whole new direction. Violence, yup violence, is the new factor in a majority of all video games. From Halo to other games killing, killing and more killing is the main ingredient in all games. Now are violent video games having a negative impact on our society? I believe violent video games are having a negative impact on our society.

Now many people are blaming video game companies for producing such violent games. But is it the video game companies fault. Or is it the parents fault for allowing kids to play these games. I think it is Continue Reading…

When I was a young kid my buddies and I used to sit around for hours on end playing video games, drinking soda, and munching on junk food. Ah, those were the days. Thankfully we did other things such as climb trees and swim all day which kept us in good shape. If we hadn’t done those things, I’m positive the video games would have turned us into fat, lazy adults.

Back in the days of Sega Genesis and the original Nintendo, all you really did was sit on your butt and move your fingers around the controller. Usually there was a bottle of soda or some sugary drink on one side, and a bag of junk food on the other. These were designated for when the games were loading.

Thankfully the creators of video games today have gotten much smarter and more health conscious. They finally started to realize the dangers of obesity the children of today are facing, and they’re finally starting to take the right actions to correct it.

Nintendo Wii, in my opinion, is one of the best products any company has come out with in a very long time. It lets children (and adults) simultaneously have a lot of fun while getting a great workout in.

Although not every game makes you move around a lot, some of them, the boxing games in particular, are spectacular for some great gaming fun with a good workout. A few weeks ago I played for about 45 minutes straight with my girlfriend’s cousin and by the time I was done I had worked up Continue Reading…

Award winning game can provoke you to buy the same but it is advised that buy only those, which you like to play. Whether you are young or old, male or female, single player or fun-seeking family, it does not matter because presently a new video games console available online claims to suit practically every need, taste and budget of the buyer.

The range and diversity of gaming systems, and even the games themselves, is bewildering, and a daunting prospect to the inexperienced. Therefore arm yourself with the information you need to make your digital entertainment purchase in confidence.

Today’s systems offer a wealth of additional functionality catering to the needs of a rapidly expanding, increasingly diverse audience. Forget the old, as the gaming has extended the boundary not in its varieties but also is not limited only to the younger but is also played by the granny. So, are you interested in online play?

Is a huge range of kids’ games a priority? But once you’ve made your decision, where next? Next is your step to buy your games console in complete Continue Reading…

Before you go out and start looking for video game tester jobs there are a few things you need to know. The work that a game tester does is far and away from being easy.

However, if you do have a true passion for video games (you should if you are reading this) then it could be an rewarding career for you. Becoming a game tester will also allow you to get your foot in the door at a game company. This is important as it may open up other possibilities for you in the game industry.

Other jobs such as game designer or game programmer are even better careers. You should still plan on going to school to learn these things. But you do not have to wait until you finish Continue Reading…
