Review: The Art of Video Games

Gives readers new thoughts of the medium yet leaves out thoughts (mobile gaming). Better than #taovg @americanart. B+thinglink.com/scene/33299582…

Review: The Art of Video Games Takes Readers to New yet Stationary Thoughts

Review: The Art of Video Games Takes Readers to New yet Stationary Thoughts

Engaging, enlightening, and surprisingly informative, The Art of Video Games gives readers new thoughts of the video game medium while selectively leaving out crucial thoughts as well.

 

 

Hands on Wii U w/ the Totally Rad Show

A lot has been coming out about the Wii U as it's release date nears, but this is the best demo I've seen of it thus far and I think it really brings up a good point. 

The Wii U is about party games and interacting with one another (which is why most games only use 1 of the expensive tablet controllers), but also gives gamers interested in this a platform to play more "serious games" like Call of Duty on their own.

If you're interested, check it out. Totally Rad Show on Revision 3 always does a great job with reviewing media. 

Wreck-It Ralph: Hollywood Reporter Review

I know there has been much talk in class about Disney (and co-Pixar) new movie Wreck-It Ralph, and one of the first reviews came out today from the Hollywood Reporter.

I know I was skeptic at first, but from what the review says, it seems like a polished road video game movie rather than a reboot of Toy Story in a different environment (what I was skeptic about).

I still fully support a class field trip to see this.
