    Will arcade games make a comeback?

    Many gamers that are older than me talk about how much they miss arcade games. Most of them talk about the Mortal Kombat arcade games and how amazing they were back then. I've never gotten into arcade games, and I don't think I ever will. But for all of you who used to play arcade games, do you...

    Games You Are Bad At

    I'm terrible at racing games! It doesn't matter which game it is, I automatically suck at it. Even when I was younger and played Mario Kart, I would always come in 8th place. Fun Run, last place, always. It is actually pretty funny watching me fail over and over again. I'm not too into racing...

    Does the influx of younger games disturb you?

    I'm not bothered by the idea of pre-teens and teens playing Mature-rated video games, but once you play with the wrong group of them, they're so god awfully annoying. They scream, they're bossy, they repeat the same cuss words every 30 seconds, and they're just not fun to play with at all. The...

    What kind of device do you have and how good is it for gaming?

    I have an iPhone 5S. It's not so great for gaming since it's storage is rather small(I have a 16GB), and the screen is good, but not great. Even the games with better graphics can come off as a little bit clunky and sharp. The battery life of an iPhone isn't too reliable, so its best to invest...

    Do you like the 3D feature in the 3DS?

    I like the 3D feature, but I can only use it for a certain amount of time before it really distracts me and I have to turn it off. It works pretty well, but it is still a gimmick. But it doesn't matter, because even without the 3D, it still trumps the DSi. I appreciate the concept, but the 3D...

    Wii Fit

    The Wii Fit is very easy and light, and I even recall an "exercise" that only required you to sit on the Wii Fit pad and remain still while creepy noises played. There are many Wii Fit games that are so much fun and you can adjust the difficulty, and there are many selections. The Wii Fit even...

    Is it me or have the releases of Wii games really declined?

    I think that many people have lost interest, which means the game sales are down, which means developers aren't too excited to rush into making games. The Wii was released in 2006, and the Wii U wasn't released until late 2012. It took Nintendo nearly 7 years to come up with a major new upgrade...

    Reasons for not buying a PS4 just yet

    I would wait for more games and cheaper prices before I bought a PS4. I'm actually not a fan of the new generation systems. I was perfectly satisfied with my Xbox 360, and I just bought it two years ago. There were plenty of updates, so I never once felt like the console was outdated. Now that...

    Why do you think the Wii is more popular than Kinect?

    Wii did have a strong start, but I think it fell flat after a while. It took them years to introduce any major add-ons, and even the Wii U isn't fun or impressive, at least in my opinion. You're right though, Kinect has a rather small library of games, and Kinect doesn't have any huge titles...

    Why do you think the Wii is more popular than Kinect?

    I used to own a Wii, with the Wii Fit as well. It was good while it lasted, but I found the controls to be very fidgety, and games that were supposed to be fun and active, such as Just Dance, were boring and lazy. I bought a Kinect a few years later, and I was just amazed. I loved how there...

    Is the DS a chick system?

    Absolutely not. I think that the Nintendo DS itself is a handheld made for children and pre-teens, so it makes sense that the Nintendo and other developers want to create games for both boys and girls. They're simply adding more diversity to games, which is a great thing. I remember when...

    What's Your Opinion on Games Where You Farm Materials/Stuff?

    I can't stand these games, and think it's just a "get rich quick" scam for developers. They're all the same, and they get boring very quickly, due to their repetitiveness. Farmville, Zombie Farm, Simpson's Tapped Out, etc. These games have been done a number of times, and require very minimal...

    What Genre of Game Do You Like Better?

    I absolutely love first-person shooters. Especially ones with good story lines! The Last of Us is a perfect example of this. Left 4 Dead doesn't have much of a storyline, but its fun and the online play is great. My second favorite would have to be fighting games. I've loved Mortal Kombat ever...

    Do you think games are worth their current retail price?

    This really depends on the person that you ask. To a non-gamer, $60 for a racing game is way too high. However, to a person who loves a good quality racing game, $60 may be a great price since they know they'll enjoy the game and play it for years. I normally buy used games to save a good...

    The "Fake Gamer Girl" idea needs to die now, please

    I've never been harassed whilst playing games. I don't own a mic, mainly because the gaming community consists largely of 13 year old boys who I have less than 0 interest talking to, but also I just don't think anyone really cares wether I'm a girl or not. I told one of my Xbox Live friends I...

    Is anyone else getting tired of farming games?

    I find the farming games very repetitive and annoying. Not just farming games, but games such as Simpsons: Tapped out as well, since you plant a house and have to wait for it to be built. Tapped Out, Zombie Farm, etc. They're all the same to me. They're fun for the first few plays, but after a...

    Is mobile games gonna kill handhelds?

    I highly doubt it. Most popular mobile games are just cute, short, mindless games that grow old quickly, such as Candy Crush and Flappy Bird. Handheld games have a plot, a conflict, and better graphics. There are also many classics, such as Mario Kart that are released on handhelds and draw in a...

    Left 4 Dead 3?

    I was, and still am, a huge Left 4 Dead fan. It was pretty much the first shooter game I didn't completely suck at, lol. The series(if you could call it that) was the main reason I bought an Xbox and Xbox Live, because the online play is great. However, Left 4 Dead 2 came out in 2009, over five...

    Minecraft Opinions

    I could never get into Minecraft. It was very basic for me, and just wasn't interesting at all. I definitely found it to be a game made for 9-12 years olds, due to it's simplicity. I don't think adults who play it are childish, but the game itself is a child's game. The game is very repetitive...

    Do you think media causes violence?

    I don't think that media causes violence, and I do believe that parents like to blame their child's violence on video games and tv as opposed to just admitting that their child is a little weird, lol. I do believe that violent video games and tv can have an effect on young children, however...
