A lot of people think that Gaming is Evil. Well, if you let it control you, it can be. Some even blame criminal or violent behavior on video games.
But I really think that parents should be closely monitoring what their kids play. I’m not saying that it’s the sole responsibility of parents, but they do [...]

MSN reports that video games are likely to outsell sales of music, at least in the United States next year.
The report said that key growth sectors will include “online and wireless games, new-generation consoles and the burgeoning in-game advertising business.” That’s music to my ears (pardon the pun) since we here at Level Up are [...]

Assassin’s Creed comes out today!
I’m sure you’re saying in your head, “Assassin’s what?”
It’s a video game that I’ve been waiting on for over a year.
Wait!
Don’t let your eyes glaze over yet!
I’m not going to write about it again.

In the spirit of Halloween, I thought I’d share with you some of the scariest video games that I’ve played so far. Some are old games (classics) while some are fairly new.
Before the list, I hope that all of you take care as you go to the cemeteries to remember our loved ones. Be mindful [...]
While television use has previously been linked with obesity, interactive media including internet surfing and video games had not been studied to find any association.
Interactive media, including internet and video game use, is associated with a reduction in moderate, vigorous and sedentary activities. The association between interactive media use and obesity remained even after adjusting [...]
Gaming has gone a long way, baby!
From 1972, where a crude game called Pong started the revolution, to 2007, a lot of titles are now in the Hall of Fame: Pac-Man, Ultima, Mario, FF, just to name a few.
I’m glad to have experienced some of the games. Am not saying which, lest my age shows. [...]

Sometimes I wonder if this is really true. I mean, are video games and gaming in general really the cause for bad behavior?
In an article at FoxNews, the American Psychologists Association (APA) are having debates on the subject. They have been relating the violence as seen in TV and film to that of video games. [...]

MTV Networks plans to invest well over $500 million in video games, recognizing the booming $30 billion global games market as a major pillar of growth in its goal to reach consumers wherever they spend time. The two-year investment is part of a global strategy to incorporate games development at the inception of all new programming plans and not as an afterthought, executives say. “Games are critical,” MTV Networks President of Global Digital Media Mika Salmi said. Salmi joined MTV after parent company Viacom bought Atom Entertainment last year for $200 million. He oversaw Atom’s Shockwave.com, a pioneer of online games. To quote: “As we take our brands narrow and deep to serve our targeted, niche audiences, we’re putting well over $500 million behind building our games business across all of the brands in our portfolio. I’d like to see more game applications on some of our current big brands across the music group,” MTV chairman and chief executive Judy McGrath said, re
Alrighty…let’s tackle a sensitive issue here.
First, why are female breasts over-hyped in video games? Can Lara Croft really be adept at swinging and doing acrobatics with those C Cups? Can full plate armor really protect you when you show those mouth-watering cleavages? Do you love Dead or Alive for the gameplay or is it something [...]

Alrighty… in response to a request by CaptainSlackr (who commented on my recent post about the relationship of video games to corporate and management skills), I have a slightly different take on the subject. This time in the “matter that rhymes with text” (sigh)
