Now that the Winter Olympics are over, Web Watch will share with our readers the age-old debate that seems to crop up around Olympic season: WHAT IS A SPORT?
Tag: game
Web Watch is a big fan of the classic video games that populated arcades back in the 80’s and early 90’s.
Not like today’s gaming arenas, filled with craptastic ticket-dispensing machines that teach kids different variations of gambling in order to “earn” enough tickets to buy a lousy stuffed animal that would have cost half as much if purchased directly from the local Toys R Us.
No, we’re talking the classic quarter-munching games like Galaga, Ms Pac Man, Defender, i-Robot, Dig Dug, Robotron, and others from the best game years.
Laugh all you want, Nintendo-boy. We liked our games simple, with a single joystick and maybe two buttons. Cheesy audio and bad graphics were state-of-the-art at the time… and you still felt as if you got your quarter’s worth every time you played.
If only changing our name was this easy.
Being a casual wrestling fan, Web Watch knows how important it is to have an awesome-sounding Professional Wrestler Name.
So now we know, thanks to the PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER NAME GENERATOR that our professional wrestler name is “Prince Kingpin”. If Web Watch were fighting as a wrestling diva, our name would be “Curvy Val”. Don’t think that’s going to happen.
Are you one of those people who wake up and approach each day saying, “Nothing is impossible”?
Like Alice, do you try to believe at least six impossible things before breakfast?
If so, then Web Watch has a challenge for you. Two, actually.
By now, Web Watch is sure that you’ve seen the trailers for Johnny Depp and Tim Burton’s new Disney film ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
The fact that a film is pending to be released hasn’t stopped game developers from not releasing games that are based on Lewis Carroll’s classic.
Take RECORD TRIPPING, for example – aside from being based on the familar tale of Alice chasing the White Rabbit around Wonderland and encountering the Mad Hatter and other interesting characters, it’s the game mechanics that really set RECORD TRIPPING apart from other online games.
In a previous post, Web Watch mentioned how GAME THEORY plays an important part in the reality TV show SURVIVOR.
The key to understanding what that means is to know what GAME THEORY is all about. Luckily, Web Watch has found a way to boil it down into some bite-sized chunks for our faithful Web Watch readers.
Sometimes, all you want to do is climb into a heavy-duty tank and blow up someone else up in a massive game of capture-the-flag.
That’s just what you do in MINIONS ON ICE, one of the many games from David Scott and the CREATIVE COLLECTIVE, the creators of DESKTOP TOWER DEFENSE.
Yeah, that’s right. David Scott is one of the masterminds behind Creative Collective, and he’s the guy who practically invented the Tower Defense genre that has killed so much of our free time with games such as Flash Element TD or variations from other developers like GEMCRAFT Chapter Zero.
What we’re trying to say here is that this is the gaming site behind one of the forces behind the casual gaming movement. Web Watch wouldn’t steer you wrong on this. Trust us – this stuff is good.
(Which reminds Web Watch – there’s a new version of DESKTOP TOWER DEFENSE available for Facebook users, with weekly updated maps. Thought you’d want to know.)
Remember the old school basketball video game ONE ON ONE (Larry Bird vs Dr J)?
How about trying to play the same game of one-on-one, but with thousands of people from around the world?
