Why Some Games don’t get the Publicity they should

I was having a conversation recently with a friend regarding the media and video games. Why do some games get more attention than others? Why can great games go unnoticed and sit in the dark, while other promising and creative titles sit on the shelves at GameStop for months without anyone touching them.

The answer? Large News Corporations. Yeah, it sounds stupid. “Uhhrrr why would the News want our video games?” Well my friends, over the last few years, the video game Industry has grown and become an acceptable form of media entertainment. So much in fact that it caught the eye of Forbes Billionaire Rupert Murdoch.

Now I’m going to go off on a tangent here, but bhelieve me, you will want to follow along.

Rupert Murdoch is the owner of the ‘News Corporation’. Now you may not know this company by name, but I’m sure you’ve heard of every single company that the News Corporation owns…
-20th Century Fox
-Fox News
-G4 Telivision
-MySpace Inc.
-Imeem.com
-Electronic Arts
-People Magazine

The list can go on, but I think that sums it up quite well, but back to the point. Every video game company these days have parent companies. The example shown here specifically links Electronic Arts to all the other companys on the list. This means that when EA releases a shitface ass-licking fuckup, it becomes the next big thing, because instantly its slapped all over the homepage of MySpace. It gets it’s dick stroked by the idiots on G4TV. Big sexy commercials get thrown up on every Fox Channel. Every magazine owned by the News Coproration will feature “Madden 2010 the Third”. You see where I’m goin?

Like the film industry, television, radio, and anything that appeals to people… video games are slowly being bought out by large media organizations.

So here’s my request to you. Go out of your way. Search for unique looking games. Support the Indie market, download from the Xbox Live arcade. There’s good stuff out there guys, don’t go buy something just because the TV tlls you too.

The 2009 VGA’s – Video Game Awards

I’ve always been a really big fan of the Video Game Awards, and I’m really excited for the exposure they are getting these past few years.
When most people think of Video Games, they simply think of children sitting alone in the dark. Maybe weaing glasses, and masturbating to anime porn. In my opinion, the VGAs has closed this case.

Like it or not, the Video Game Industry is right up there now with film and music. Its not only just for kids anymore. its popping up more and more in everyday life. Fuck, even pop culture references are using video game terms.

5 years ago, you would have never seen a preppy looking kid wearing a 1-Up tshirt. In this day and age, we have Bros, Brohoes, Dykes, Lesbians, Pornstars, Priests, Pastors, Sex offenders, Girls – literally everyone is playing.

I got off track, but my point is, the VGAs just show that the gaming community is changing, and changing for the best.

Make sure to tune your TVs to Spike to watch the 2009 VGAs!

Oh, and buy a pepsi and a large pizza from your local Pizza Hut Online. Theres some mad deals that day!

Hideo Kajima – “Buy a PSP, and Guns Will Sing!”

Hideo Kojima is pretty well known for teasing his audience, and throwing out tricks teasers to get them wondering… but what is he on about now…?

“I’m putting everything I want to do on a portable console into this game,” Kojima-san told Famitsu (translated by 1UP). “I haven’t announced this yet, but there’s another feature in here that will surprise people, to the point where they’ll want to go out and buy a PSP right now!”

Uhhh… wtf? Sounds good Hideo, but with everything that’s happened with the PSP Go – I think I’d rather attach a muscle stimulator to my balls.

The Famitsu article also mentions that Peace Walker will incorporate Yamaha Corporation’s Vocaloid technology, which allows users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and a melody. 1UP reports that this will be used for AI-based weapons….

Hold up, hold up. GUNS THAT SING?
