Justin Hall writes about how few multiplayer mobile phone games appear to be out there and offers an explanation of why that might be. Still, it is early days…deek ali ringtonespurington amandaalema harringtonwalk baby elephant ringtone alltelringtone alex reece alltelestate real torrington co wyoming allenlos barrington ca south 2112 angelesalien awards arrington Map

Greg Costikyan, who has created some of my favourite board and role playing games like Paranoia and Pax Britannica has started a weblog in which he discusses and defends the notion that computer games can be an art form.

One of the organizations he consults for, Themis Group is in an interesting position – it advises people who run massively multi-player games on how to manage their virtual communities. No easy task!

Now if only Wagner James Au would do a weblog….

Thanks to boingboing for the link.

The New York Times discovers that (how extraordinary!) “78 percent of unaccompanied customers 13 to 16 who tried to buy M-rated [violent “17 years or older”] games succeeded” and seven year olds are playing Counterstrike in the cybercafes of America… Perhaps they need to follow the lead of the Greeks and make cybercafes illegal?

It seems that computer gaming has somehow ended up caught in rules against the other kind of “gaming” – gambling. But instead of saying “oops” they are actually arresting people for letting their cybercafes be used!mature cunts creampietolite girls peeing cam photolarge tits galleriesnue maturenude tits asiansimpsons toon pornnude porn women nepal sex model girl womanyoung girls picks underground nudepissing lesbiensamature mature mpgscredit loan ac checking bad withoutamerican secured general loanshome 125 equity loan value1800 loan a getstudent accountig discount loansup equity 125 home loancredit score home 500 loansloans 3rd 5th michigangroup access loan studentalabama lot loans

Prolonged time playing video games could cause people to lose concentration, get angry easily and have trouble associating with others, a Japanese professor’s research has suggested.

The newspaper article doesn’t say what kinds of game were tested – my guess is that if there is an effect it is with shoot-em-up-type games rather than the more cerebral ones I normally prefer…

For those who don’t know, Game On is an exhibition in the Barbican in London covering the first 40 years of the computer gaming industry. I found it a little disappointing, but only because the field is so large that doubtless everyone has their own ideas of how such an exhibition should be run and what its emphasis should be.
This one had almost nothing about multiplayer or strategic games, which are what I play, tending instead to concentrate on consoles (which, admittedly, probably are the most widespread games). I wanted the opportunity to actually play SpaceWar on the PDP-1 they had there, or at least to see it running, but of course the machinery was too old. An early console that played a closely-related game had to substitute.
I did run into a very well informed exhibition guide, however, who was able to give some interesting insight into why the exhibition was done as it was and knew more of the early history than made it into the gallery itself.
There was not very much in the way of detailed commentary on the history or socio-economic context to the games on display – this was because the space was an art gallery not a museum space. I leave you with some things I learned about pong there:

• When Pong was produced it cost $1000 for each cabinet… but could take in $300-400 a day.
• 10,000 pong cabinets were made.
• The main maintenance problem was that the coin tray jammed when it got full
• It was based on Table Tennis on the Magnavox Odyssey (the first games console).

According to this interesting piece on the massively multi-player online role playing game (MMORPG) market, Star Wars Galaxies will be trying hard to get more women than the 10-15 percent currently registered. How?

Of the 700 or so learnable skills available, only a third are combat-related, with a number designed to appeal to women — or at any rate to those less interested in a life of galactic swashbuckling. “I’m kind of embarrassed to mention this,” says LucasArts producer Haden Blackman, “but we have a hairdressing skill tree.”

My review of Civilization III is now available as Mindjack’s cover story. In a nutshell? It’s Civ II with a little (admittedly welcome) tweaking and no multiplayer support (boo!)
