Gamer Teaches That Philosophy & Video Games Can Mix

by Brian Bentley [ Friday, 16th of July 2010 - 06:32 PM ]

Today at the University of Cincinnati, students began their next summer session. While normally a Philosophy class on your schedule may be cause for alarm, a class full of students is tackling Philosophy in video games. Designed by Philosophy Ph.D. student and gamer Vanessa Gorley, “Violence, Sex and Immorality: Video Games and Philosophy” will explore philosophical topics through the eyes of one of our own. About the class, she says, “This class explores the social and moral implications of video game play. Video games are a substantial part of our culture and we need to look into how they affect us.

Kratos Just Ripped One Over God Of War III Trophies

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 26th of February 2010 - 03:40 AM ]

Here are the trophies in all of their God of War godly glory. Well at least half of them, as you can see from the list of 36 trophies below. So they are more the Public trophies of God of War III in the end. Which leads me to believe that like in the God of War Collection, you will get trophies for completing parts of the story and collecting required items for Kratos to enact his revenge. At least that can seem a safe assumption. One interesting thing about the list though is that they reused a few of the same names for similar trophies from before. Read More...

Hitman & Back To The Future In God Of War

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 28th of October 2009 - 04:40 PM ]

Since the announcement that the original PS2 titles of God of War were coming to a BluRay near you with Trophy support, the thought has passed my head, what exactly could these trophies be? Kill 1000 agents of Ares? Beat the game on Titan Mode? Use the sex mini game over 100 times? You know the important thoughts and guesses. Well we wait no more for these and the release date too. Below is the list of trophies that the two games will have amongst them. Read More...

Brütal Metal Achievements

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 27th of August 2009 - 09:00 PM ]

I Got A Car And A Date. Some Chicks N' Booze N' Stuff. Then I Ran To The Hills. All for some Hair Remover, and Now You Must Tell The Tale. All to rock out and be Six Degrees Of Schafer. Now I am a Rock God! Oh snap! Ok, no you don't, but I thought it a fun way to work some of these fun and metal achievement/trophy names into this. This being the official list of the Achievement and Trophies you will be able to collect this coming October Rocktober in Brütal Legend. For a game that was originally designed to be a multiplayer RTS, you would have expected to find more of the multiplayer stuff as trophies too. Read More...

Mayhem Preview

by Andy [ Monday, 20th of July 2009 - 11:04 PM ]

With today’s entertainment industry, it’s rarely a surprise when a performer jumps ship and moves from one avenue to another. Be it a singer acting in movies or an heiress releasing an album. Okay maybe that second one wasn’t a great example but the point still stands. In the case of rappers, Ice-T, LL Cool J, and Ice Cube are just a few examples of successful musical artists who have transitioned into movie stars and following in their footsteps is Tyrese Gibson. The former model and rapper has gone on to star in a number of major films including 2 Fast 2 Furious, Flight of the Phoenix, Death Race, and Transformers and its sequel Revenge of the Fallen. But now he’s taking an unexpected turn and expanding into the world of comics. Read More...

The Last Trophies

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 28th of May 2009 - 04:49 PM ]

The Last Guy gets Trophies and more Hopefully it hasn't been too long for you to have forgotten about that cool little game on the PSN where you run around saving people from a "zombie" apocalypse in [insert big real city here]. If it has, then I say it is time for you to dust off the good ol' downloaded game and give it another looksie today. Also to keep it on the mind for at least the next month or so after taking another looksie. If you haven't even tried it, then play the demo and then most likely shell out the $10 for the full version. Read More...

Plan It Green

by Jesse [ Thursday, 23rd of April 2009 - 05:14 AM ]

In this day and age, green is the new black. Everywhere people are trying to be more eco-conscious about the way they live and do business (or so they say). Nevertheless, Merscom and National Geographic have teamed up to bring us a game that is all about playing nice with Mother Nature. In “Plan it Green”, gamers will have the chance to play as the mayor of the fictional city of Greenville. Your task will be to change the dreary cityscape and restore Greenville’s once lush beauty.

Stat Tracking For The Ages

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Monday, 2nd of March 2009 - 10:27 PM ]

Viewing your PlayStation Trophies on PlayStation.com For a while since launch, PS3 owners had been waiting to get the Achievement Trophy system to show off how awesome they are. Allowing friends and other users of said PS3 to check them out and even compare. It was a long time waiting for them and being jealous of the XBox for having their system going. But there was much rejoicing when they came. But they didn't come in a way to show off everything online on say the pwned your favorite gaming forums. Read More...

Trophies For Another Game

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Thursday, 31st of July 2008 - 04:47 PM ]

PixelJunk Eden: Oh Glorious Gardens...and Did We Mention Trophies? So it looks like last night on the PSBlog, a little bit was posted on the new PSN game PixelJunk Eden. To be perfectly honest, I haven't tried the first version of this game and most likely won't try this one. Just doesn't look like my kind of game. But I thought it was worth a mention. Now, I bet you are thinking to yourself "Why the fuck even bring this up then? Read More...

Never Cease To Amaze Me

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Wednesday, 18th of June 2008 - 05:35 PM ]

Wii Balance Board Controls WoW I figured it was only a matter of time before it happened, so here it is. The Balance Board has been "hacked" to be used to control World of Warcraft movement. Yes, you read that right. Below is the video that shows it in the works. It starts out with a bit of Google Earth footage, but then they show a gnome running around the game. The movement and camera seem to be all controlled pretty well too. Now what does this mean? Read More...

Excel Just Ain't For Bookkeeping

by David 'Hades' Becker [ Friday, 7th of March 2008 - 05:07 PM ]

Microsoft Excel: Revolutionary 3D Game Engine? Ok, I've been coding in Excel for some time now. I've thought that I have pushed the limits on what the program can do and such. Then things like this come flying over my desk. Some one actually made a sheet that calculates and displays 3D graphics in Excel. Brilliance! The next best part, they offer up the base files and details on how it was done from Gamasutra in a 5 page article on this alone. Read More...
