Game blog links for June 15th, 2005
Another fun round-up that not only helps me illustrate how much great stuff there is out there but also how bad I am at tracking links. I'm going to have to develop a better system if I want to keep this up.
Something we all knew but never talked about. Nintendo is cool with kids. In the meantime, Microsoft who?
Amit is illustrating the reason I am scared to play Resident Evil 4. That's right, I'm not reluctant to pick it up or not sure if it's any good. I am scared to play it. Here's an excerpt -
I would just like to add that playing it right before bed is a bad, bad idea. And so is playing it before you have to walk outside in the middle of the night because you forgot something in you car. Especially when it's super foggy. And there are owls around. And maybe a bat or two.
Well, duh.
Some people aren't buying the Sony hype. Bill Harris is making some excellent points about the PS3 and Sony's claims.
Over at Terra Nova they are talking about the recently released report on Virtual Violence
There is not only some interesting talk about video game legislation but some very interesting statistics as well.
75% of heads of households play video games
30 is the average age of a video game player
43% of game players are aged 18 - 49
37 is the average age of the most frequent game purchaser
92% of the time, parents are present at the time games are purchased or rented
87% of the time, children receive their parents' permission before renting or purchasing a game
I have been saying for some time that parents are not accepting near enough responsibility for their part in all of this.
Clubberjack over at Laundry Sessions wants to share his HD experience and has some good thoughts on the topic.
I'm linking this mostly for my feelings of nostalgia for old games, but here is a retrospective on the Back to the Future games.
So wrong that it's right, Top of Cool is doing a Kutaragi Watch to track some of his more outrageous comments. Should be great fun.
