Is Nintendo’s Wii-U Worth Your Time And Money?
Wii-U is Nintendo’s latest console, and currently the only “next-gen” system released in the market. Unlike it’s predecessor, the Nintendo Wii, Wii-U wasn’t flying off the shelves and causing consumers to fight and hustle their way to owning one. Wii-U kind of just released.
Sporting capabilities such as 1080p via HDMI, and boasting titles such as Darksiders II, Super Mario Brothers U, and recently released Monster...
Capcom’s Crisis With Resident Evil Is Self Inflicted
Capcom has publicly stated that while Resident evil 6 has sold over 5 million units, the core changes did not appeal to players. I would say quite the opposite; if you bought RE6 it was due to the words “Resident Evil” being in the title and your trust and hope that it would deliver.
I can imagine that if Resident Evil was a person she would find herself now in her bedroom bawling her eyes out wondering why nobody...
Are There Too Many First Person Shooter Games?
Have FPS Games run their course with the people who used to love them? Many people seem to think so; with the speed and unoriginal content of the titles being released nowadays it would seem that many believe the market to be a bit over-saturated.
One would say that saturation is a non-issue and our generation of gamers have become spoiled and picky. We here at 3GK are no hardcore experts and didn’t see half the issues...
An Internal Desire To Play Every Video Game
I remember when I was about 13 years old and I wanted to beat every single Nintendo game that came out. At the time I was subscribed to Nintendo Power and would rent the games as soon as the local video store would get them in and then beat them. I was a bit obsessed this way and made a list of all the games I beat… it went over 100.
As I got older and games became main stream it took a very long time to break the habit of being...
Sorry Square But Lara Is Still A Sexual Object
The new Tomb Raider seems to be a bunch of stunning visuals, a young girl writhing and moaning in every scene and glorious pan and scans of sweaty young boobs. So… what exactly did they fix about the series with this game? Did they really think that some dirt, dropping the title character’s age by about 10 years and making her breasts “realistic” would make her less of a sexual object than the original woman?
See...
Simulator Sickness – A Gamer’s Worst Nightmare
It all started when I was playing 007 on the Nintendo 64 with my friends… it was a slow, growing feeling of nausea and I couldn’t understand where it was coming from. Before long I had to stop playing, I couldn’t even watch them play as I went into the bathroom to wash my face and gather my thoughts. What had I eaten?
This became a constant question whenever I would get sick while playing games, I always thought it was my...
EA Developer Says Creativity Is Stifled By Metrics
AJ Dembroski, former developer for the Madden series of football games for Electronic Arts recently went ape on Twitter and revealed many things that we have already concluded. In a nutshell the numbers and money game that mainstream gaming has brought is killing the creative license.
Operationsports.com collaborated the series of tweets that Dembroski made in regards to the brass who seem to have a hard time cleaning the green...
Sony PlayStation 3 is #1 for Netflix Streaming
So the Sony PlayStation 3 and it’s Netflix app is the #1 source of watching Netflix above all other platforms currently… I am sure my ASUS Transformer Tablet has something to say about this statistic but seriously are we even surprised?
Everyone I know with a PlayStation 3 uses it for Netflix, hell they may as well call it the Netflix 3 or something being that my friends list is littered with people either playing Assassin’s...
PC Gamer: How Diablo’s Endgame Has Failed
Diablo 3 has become a game about gold. Its endgame, with the auction house at its heart, is about slow, incremental progression, cash runs and repeated boss raids. It relies on grind-heavy objectives that feel very different to the rush of new skills I enjoyed on the journey to level 60.
An action RPG has a natural shelf life. Some will get everything they want from a single playthrough, others when they hit sixty, and others when...
How Video Games Helped Me Quit Smoking
In somewhat recent years, there was a campaign of anti-smoking commercials from BecomeAnEx.org, and I loved them. It was the first time I felt like someone really discovered the secret to quitting smoking, and offered it from a sympathetic perspective, with a sense of humor and a sincere desire to help smokers.
I have seen many commercials against smoking over the years. Some have tried fighting cigarettes by unveiling statistics...
