Craig Gabrielsen More Stuff What I Wrote

Been a little while, but I figure I might as well post up a handful of articles and whatnot that I've put up on DT since last time, in case anyone's looking for something to read/critique. "I Suck At Games, and I'm Here To Help" - A lengthy manifesto on what I believe to be the unique contributions that lousy gamers, and ONLY lousy gamers, can (and should) make to the community.… Continue

Raymond Mendoza Thoughts on a classic video game: Donkey Kong Country 2

Yesterday, I took a stroll down memory lane and decided to play Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest. I could remember playing this game as a youth and feeling excitement as well as frustration (due to the extreme difficulty). Now, being an adult, I found that not much has changed. I was still excited to see Diddy, the end of the level win animations, all the goofy Kong family characters and yes, the difficulty that made me want to tear my hair out. But alas, I rediscovered how fun this gam… Continue

Patrick Gallagher Thank you, Alan Turing.

Hey guys please take a few minutes to read this: Who is Alan Turing, and why should you care? If the name sounds familiar but you’re not sure why, you may have heard it in the news recently. The British government issued a full, official apology to him on September 10th 2009 – over fifty five years after he died. What did they apologise for? Why so long after his death? Why is a man who died decades before the first video game featuring on a gaming website? Alan Turing was born June 23rd 1912… Continue

Patrick Gallagher Why They Hate Video Games

Hey guys now and again I'll being putting some of the best articles from Critical Gamer up on this blog. Why They Hate Video Games was writer by Luke Kemp who is co-owner and editor-in-chief at Critical Gamer. It’s axiomatic that people often fear what they do not understand. ‘Homophobia’ means fear of homosexuals of course, rather than dislike or hate of them (though fear invariably breeds aggression). Similarly, ‘Xenophobia’ means fear of foreigners. In fact, the prefix ‘xeno’ or ‘xen’ is us… Continue

Raymond Mendoza Beatles Rock Band: review

When talking about the Beatles a few words come to mind: amazing, gifted and legendary to state just a few, so it was only a matter of time before they became part of the video game world. In Beatles Rock Band, you along with 3 other friends get to navigate through the career of the Beatles from playing in small venues to belting out some of the most significant tunes of all time. And how does the game add up you ask? It is truly a remarkable video game that follows the career of a remarkable ba… Continue

Chris Cesarano Recent Writings and Writings in Development

So I've got an article I wrote a week ago that I feel is actually quite strong. Entitled "Press X to eat toast", it not only discusses the annoyances of Quick Time Events but the sheer absurdity of them as an allegedly "fun" game mechanic. While it is a topic that has been tread frequently, I feel that what I had to say was worth it. You can check it out here. I'm also pond… Continue

Michael Trapani Post One

So, this is my first post here at Videogames Journos Network and I hope this is the start of a whole new career direction for me. I've come to a number of realizations over the past few months, most importantly realizing that pursuing a career in games journalism would be something I would want to do above all else at this point in my life. My biggest fear is getting stuck going through the motions and realizing at a later time that I didn't give what I wanted a fighting chance. So, I started w… Continue

Raymond Mendoza A look at console controllers: Nintendo (part 1)

Ok, so it would take me a while to list all of Nintendo's controllers, so I'm splitting it up into 2 parts. Today I will cover the Nintendo Entertainment System controller and the SNES controller. Next, I'll cover the N64, the Gamecube and finally the Wii. So here we go. The Nintendo Entertainment System controller. A legend in its own right and truly a landmark in gaming history. The controller brought us the power to take control of some of the best characters around like Mario or Link. But I… Continue

Trina Keep Your Laws Off of My Games

Every decade some form of art or media is blamed for the ruining of young people. First they wanted to burn books, then people decided that rock n' roll was the devil's music and after that cartoons were teaching children violence. So Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd ruined my generation? ...Really? I loved watching cartoons and guess what? I didn't start dropping anvils on my friends (I can't even lift an anvil today) and I didn't start carrying around a shotgun to go hunt for “wabbits.” Now if I did… Continue

Brandy Nevils Bonjour!

So, just wanted to make a short blog post for my first one... I hope to keep up with this a lot. I like the layout and stuff of this little social network. I have had one of the worst days... ever. I crashed in to a mailbox with my car, couldn't get the landlady for a possible house to rent to answer her phone, missed the person I was supposed to talk to about a new job, stepped in a giant puddle of mud (wish it was the band that I had squished) while wearing flip flops. fml. But, I did just bar… Continue

Raymond Mendoza A look at console game controllers: Microsoft

Ok, I know Microsoft hasn't been in the game very long, but they've done an awful lot in the time that they've been out. They've sold millions of consoles as well as games, come up with some innovative technology and proved that they could outsell Sony's PS3 (for the time being). So, lets just check out the controllers that Microsoft has to offer and see how they fair against the others. First off; the original fat Xbox controller. Now I love the original Xbox for many reasons; it had a hard dr… Continue

Raymond Mendoza A thought about best gaming controllers

What makes a good controller? Is it the innovations that come along with it, or is it the simplicity? I, for one, cannot decide on the true nature of a "good video game controller". There are dozens of controllers from dozens of systems, some bad and others good. I can say that I do have a preference for a certain type of controller over others, and some of that might have to do with comfort and add-ons. What I can do, for now, is talk about all of the major console brand controllers I've ever u… Continue
