This “game” has got me infuriated… It’s an exceptional example of fail. LINK TO PART 2: www.youtube.com Make sure you watch both part 1 and 2 (unless you didn’t like part 1, that is) I’m trying something a little new here… A combo-review-thing, and it’s long… A bit too long, maybe, but it’s all good. Make sure you read the blog if you, in any way, want to: ebeeto.blogspot.com I’d be glad to recieve feedback on this thing. NOTE I am aware that the video quality and amount of sound spikes isn’t very “Yaaay!” but I hope you still find it watchable. I did work reasonably hard on this thing. (Although that’s not a reason for you to like it even though you don’t) “Thanks!” to subscribers and loyal blog readers (you know who you are)
We all know kids play video games. But how much do they relax with console and PC games? Digital Journal TV examines a landmark report on what kids are playing, what benefits gaming offers, and why parents shouldn’t be worried about teen gamers. Digital Journal TV — The stereotype of the loner gamer, disengaged from current events and shunning real-life friendships, is now old news thanks to a comprehensive report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project. Some unexpected facts pepper the report, which found that nearly every American teen has played video games on either a console or a PC. The report found how teens enjoy video games: “Even when they are not playing games with others, teens talk and engage with others about games—by posting comments on discussion boards and websites or by writing reviews and walk-throughs that assist newcomers to a particular game by showing them how to play the game.” Many studies have shown a link between video games and violence, but the Pew survey aims to dispel some of the more media-friendly stereotypes about young gamers. Digital Journal TV highlights some of the key statistics, and we explain some of the positive influences gaming offers kids.

There was a time in my life when I didnât care for video games at all. I had to have the radio on whether I was cleaning or doing a jigsaw puzzle and if anyone (I called them the gamers) wanted to play a game in the living room, they had to do it with the sound off. I didnât even like to hear the sound of them. (Even now I prefer the volume on the low side) They would ask me why I thought there was something wrong with playing video games. I just couldnât understand how they could sit there and play for hours. How they must have loved when I was at work. I laugh at this now and they sure wonât let me live it down. Â
One day I came home from work and âthe gamersâ were playing Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. I decided that I would try it and once I learned how to use the controller I was hooked. I went from that game to Gran Turismo 2. One time I played for 16 hours straight. Time sure flies when youâre having fun.Â
I tried playing some of the golf games and I enjoyed the ones that are easy. Golden Tee and Hot Shots are my favorites. I did enjoy playing Mario Golf on the Gamecube, although I only had the chance to play it a couple of times. (I am a Playstation person.) I find that most of the other golf games are too hard for me.
One boring evening I decided to go out and rent a video game. While I was in the store I came across The Legend of Dragoon. I hadnât tried playing a role playing game yet and so I decided to try it. I didnât like the fact that you had to fight so much so I fought as little as possible.  I beat the game (barely) and played it again right away. I did fight more the second time around and beat the game again. It was so much fun that I have been hooked on rpgâs since and Iâve learned that the more you fight the better.Â
When someone asks me why I like to play these types of games, I tell them to think of it as watching a movie or reading a book and being part of it. You play your part as best you can and slowly work your way to your objective. Â
Recently I discovered that a friend of mine has The Legend of Dragoon and so I borrowed it. I wanted to remember why I loved it so much. So, I am now in the process of playing it again. Memories of my very first role playing game, life is good. I must say that after playing on the pc, the ps1 sure is slow, lol. I am still having loads of fun with it though.Â
Ten years have passed since I played my first rpg. Since then I have played games such as: Wild Arms, Final Fantasy, Arc the Lad Twilight of the Spirits, Suikedon 1-4 (with the exception of number three), Radiata Stories, Shining Tears, Atelier Iris, etcâ¦Â As you can see, I am addicted to rpgâs. My favorite would be Final Fantasy XI Online. Now thatâs a fun game. Even the fighting is a ton of fun.Â
I also enjoy games like Burnout Revenge. I especially liked the road rage. You can drive fast and be as wreckless as you want. Itâs great! As mentioned earlier, I do like to play golf on occasion.
I have tried Grand Theft Auto and the only reason that I donât play it, is I donât like to kill people. I tried to drive fast without hitting anyone it just doesnât work. I donât mind killing monsters and such, but not people. I did make some people laugh, though. I know itâs just a game and it still bothers me.Â
I cannot comment on sports games for the simple fact that I havenât tried playing any. I have watched others play them, they just donât interest me. Rpgâs rule for me.
I do still listen to the radio just not as much as before and I donât play video games as much as I would like to. I get to play 10-20 hours a week and I enjoy every minute of it.Â
I must say that role playing games can be very addicting. Just donât forget about your personal life and always make sure that your priorities are in order. Now, If an individual gets out of bed in the morning, goes straight for their game and 20 hours later they are still playing, and they do this the majority of the time, then there might be a problem.Â
If you have the day off and everything is done that you needed to get done, then I say, go ahead and play your game all night. Thereâs nothing wrong with that. Happy Gaming!
Video Games to Blame for Rise in Rickets?
Blame too much television, over-liberal SPF-lathering, poor nutritional habits, and video games for a rise in cases of the bone disease rickets, say a pair of Newcastle-based UK researchers.
