Ever used a broom reenact yourself on stage as an 80’s Rocker with glittery wild hair and eye makeup? Me neither! But, if your a Wii owner playing your ‘Air Guitar” will be soo ancient. Nintendo’s newest “fad” will be Wii Music. With Nintendo’s announcement of Wii Motion Plus, they’re promising more accuracy on their Wii-motes. Check out this chick jam to a very unknown song. Man, she can play the crap out of it though!
This week looks to be a very hot week for Playstation news as another screenshot surfaces. We already have seen PSone games hit the PSN, but with the news of PS2 games hitting the store this can be BIG NEWS! I, for one, am an original PS3 60gb owner. While the news of PS2 titles arriving to the PS3 is nice, I can bet that I own most of the titles they will release PLUS have it on disc which is playable on my PS3. So, for you 20gb, 40gb, and some games on the 80gb PS3’s it looks like you’ll finally be able to play God of War I and God of War II. Until it’s confirmed it’s just a rumor! So why not spread it like wild fire!
So far I can see Red faction, MGS2, Fantavision, Smuggler’s Run and SSX and maybe Ridge Racer V.
Thanks for the tip PS3Fanboy!

Recent studies have shown that the majority of PS3 owners are over the age of 45. While this may lead some to believe that most PS3 gamers are over 45, that would be a false assumption. From talks I have had with various retailers, it appears that males over 45 are still buying the PS3 to watch movies on, not play games. I haven’t seen any specific studies breaking down what the age groups are playing on the PS3, I’d assume that the average PS3 gamer would probably fit into the 30-40 range. As an interesting side-note, the average Xbox 360 owner is 35-44 and the average Wii owner is 18-24. While some fanboys may still cling to the “which console is best” debate, it really does not matter at this point. Each system appeals to an entirely different demographic. All three consoles in this generation will be considered a success once it’s all said and done…
Our very own Will “Kezins” Snizek (WS) sat down for a fireside chat with our friends at Gaming Blog Networks’ owner Jason Townsend-Rogers (JTR). Jason, a member of the ECA, jots down Will’s take on Government involvement in gaming. Picking at the mind of the creator and owner of Kezins.com was a difficult task. Nevertheless, Jason threw additional questions at Will that would have thrown me back into 1955. (Back to the Future reference, not a good one) But with the 1.21 jiggawatts powering that mind, Will spoke about his true passion of photography, blogging, and defending the negative critiscm games receive.
(JTR): My next question regards how games are being portrayed in mainstream media, what do you think video games, and the industry as a whole, can do to improve their societal image?
(WS): I don’t think we’ll ever get rid of the negative images entirely, because negativity is what sells news these days in the mainstream media; also, places like Fox News etc will always rather interview a wacko like Jack Thompson who is going to make off the wall and shocking statements than someone who has a more academic approach to things.
(WS): I really think the best way the industry can improve their image is to simply continue publishing game blogs and get the information out there. The smart people will do their research and discover what’s real and what’s media spin. Another thing I have noticed over the past few years is an increase in video game research from the academic community. I think as research continues, gaming will be seen in a more positive light
(WS): On another note, I do think the game companies need to make a stronger stand against minors getting their hands on “M” rated titles. That is a big issue now, and the only way to reverse the public image of this would be for game companies to start taking a stand against children playing the real violent and adult games.
