I just thought I would share a nice write-up Richie Knucklez Arcade (& store) received in the local news:

Violent Video Games...front and center (yet again...)

New Mexico teen accused of family slaughter loved 'violent'video games, police say

http://usnews.nbcnew...police-say?lite



Yet again, it looks like video games will be in the crosshairs with regards to violence / violent acts in society.  My question is almost always the same...why is a 15 year old able to own games like Modern Warfare and Grand Theft Auto?  It would seem that he has been playing such games for a long while as well, seeing as (according to authorities) he is a self proclaimed video game lover, with a penchant for violent simulation type games.

I am interested to hear people's thoughts on this subject.  Should there be better restrictions in place for purchasing these games?  How would these restrictions be enforced? How about age restrictions for online play of certain games? Or, does it just come down to better parenting (and how the heck could we ever enforce that one)?  So many questions...

Please keep this from straying into a 2nd amendment debate...the topic is about "violent video games"...not real guns.

The Museum of Modern Art Planning a Video Gaming Exhibit

NY museum calls Pac-Man, Tetris 'modern art'


Pablo Picasso, meet Pac-Man.


The Museum of Modern Art has officially raised video games to new aesthetic heights by planning a game-only gallery with 40 of the greatest arcade, console and computer hits. The museum said yesterday it had acquired the first 14 titles, dating back to Pac-Man, which introduced Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde to the world in 1980.


“Are video games art?” MoMA’s Paolo Antonelli asks on the museum’s Web page. “They sure are, but they are also design, and a design approach is what we chose for this new foray into this universe,” says Antonelli, senior curator in MoMA’s department of architecture and design.


He said the games were chosen based on criteria that included overall aesthetics and even the sort of behavior they elicit from players. The first 14 include addictive vintage favorites like Tetris, The Sims and more recent games, such as Canabalt, which first appeared in 2009.

Game Recommendations?

Sat Nov 24, 2012 11:38 AM

I recently purchased an Atari XEGS and I was wondering what a good place to start would be regarding the game library.  Does anyone have any recommendations?  I would just like to hear what everyone thinks are the best games this platform has to offer.  Currently, I only have the games that came with the system (bug hunt and flight simulator). Any advice would be appreciated!

The Priorities of Modern Gamers

Is it graphics quality...no.




A better library of games...not even close.





Maybe a console that doesn't die after 3 months of average use...nope!





Give up....
