Many of our readers have families and some have requested us to maybe help them find a way to include their children in the games they play. With most of the games nowadays are usually M for mature and would most likely make a 7 yr old shit himself with fear. Here is a link to some great games that you can play with the entire family. Hey, if it can get you extra gaming time, then why not? As the only editor of this site who is not currently married, I wonder how long it will be before Matt and Al fire some kids out. Not together though.
Let’s hope not for all of our sakes, but according to Softkinetic’s it is. At GDC ‘08 they were showing off their 3D Gesture Recognition Middleware that “Redefines the Way Players Interact with Videogames”, wait a second this seems to look a lot like WiiFit or Warioware?? I think the novelty of Gesture Recognition is a decent idea, but won’t add to a gamer’s experience until developers really embrace it and build it into games. Until then this is as far away from the future of gaming as you can get.
Askmen.Com recently put out their 2008 Edition Top 99 Most Desirable Women and 10 of them were identified as Gaming Girls. Not a bad percentage to have 10% included in the category of gaming.
Here are the ten hot gaming girls. Some of them are celebrities that were categorized as gaming girls, which is a bit weak, but we will take it. Olivia Munn is hot, too bad the guy that does the Attack of the Show with her on G4 is a tool and their dialogue makes me want to run my head into the wall. LOL.
This is actually an interesting topic as most people when they think of a techy or gaming female don’t exactly think of someone hot, actually this goes for males as well. This will at least dispell some of that for the female portion, maybe they should have one for guys. This was discussed in our forums as well and someone posted a picture of a rather fat woman to depict the average female gamer, this didn’t go over well.
With the price of video game consoles and video games always going up it can be tough to keep up with all the new titles in the world. A few nice free options, 14 to be exact, are always good, so here they are to get you going.
In the 14 free web enabled games there is a nice mix of games to keep you busy. RuneScape, Grand Theft Auto, Portal: Flash Based and Psychonauts, a pretty decent lineup of free games to keep you busy while you save up your spare cash to pay for console games or even a few titles to keep you busy at work.
One good thing about Vista, maybe the only thing, is that it supports great gameplay. MS is trying to corner the oft forgotten market of PC gaming outside of the MMORPGs with some great titles on the way. Microsoft had this statement about its upcoming lineup:
“Games for Windows truly thrived in 2007. We went from two titles in 2006 to a continually growing portfolio of over 60 titles here at CES 2008,” said Kevin Unangst, senior global director of Games for Windows in the Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft.
The PC gamer demographic seems to be decreasing, but you have to like the ability to make a choice of what platform you want the game to be on, some are on both. Whether your machine can handle it, well, thats a diff story. Click more for the complete game list.
2007 has come and gone. It’s time to look back at the top 10 stories of the year. Some of them my have intrigued you, some of them may have pissed you off. Either way, these are biggest stories as ranked by our popularity generator (yeah, we actually have one).
Last night the wife and I had a few friends over for New Years Eve. Lots of alcohol was involved, and then we busted out the video games. A few people at the party were regular readers and commentators here at Loot Ninja, but some had never touched video games before. So we started out easy with a bit of Scene It for Xbox 360. Holy crap did everyone get into it. After a lot of screaming, laughing, and 3 Long Games later, we moved on to Rock Band.
Yes, Rock Band is a lot of fun when everyone is drunk. Sure, you can’t play on Expert too well (my brother in law can attest to that), but it’s damn fun. We rocked out to a bunch of songs, mostly with me singing (after I gave up the drum set). We gained a lot of fans for the band I have, Duck Sauce.
All in all, tons of fun. It actually made one of my friends consider buying a video game console (he’s already calling asking what to buy today or tomorrow). Hope your New Years parties were just as fun. I literally just woke up from mine (2pm EST). Let us know if you celebrated the dawn of 2008 with some games.
I always like to see how the so-called experts feel about what was the best of the best in the past year. So far. we have had a good track record with our choices. Here is a video comp their opinions.
We at Loot Ninja are simple men. We like a lollipop in our mouth and some butter in our ass. No, not really, extra credit if you know what movie that is from, but anyway. Here is a unique countdown. It combines girls, video gaming, and counting. The trifecta for a good time. Enjoy. Let us know what you think.
The never ending string of Game of the Year lists are now showing their head and Maxim has taken their turn. This list is better than the shit storm that time put together, but I have a few issues with this. The Darkness and Stranglehold were good games, but 2nd tier at best. Halo 3 is missing yet Stranglehold is there. Another magazine that is out of its element.
1. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
2. Guitar Hero III
3. Half-Life 2: The OrangeBox
4. BioShock
5. God of War II
6. Super Mario Galaxy
7. The Darkness
8. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
9. John Woo Presents: Stranglehold
10. Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
We're like Spaceballs... we're making Loot Ninja everything. Coming soon we'll have hats, shirts, hoodies, possibly banana hammocks if one Editor has his way...
