Yeah, the cases of murders for videogames suggests much deeper issues, but I think that it can be addicting. I like to think that I'm not addicted, but my time and money (especially over the summer) have a habit of disappearing into my videogames. On the other hand, to legitimize this with the label as an official disease is to give an excuse to those who prefer to waste their time on videogames without anything productive to back it up. We need a LOT more research before it is possibly put into the 2012 DSM. I'd like to see where this is going, though. I will be checking in next week.
And whoops, forgot to say something about the article. I'm as bad as them! :( I felt this was very informative. I'm attempting to build a gaming PC, and this gives me an idea of how I might need to set it up: these are pretty good graphics, and if I can run this will, chances are this will run nice things for a few years before I need an upgrade.
All of these look pretty good. I hope they change up the gameplay in the new SOCOM. It's all a bit of the same. I'm optimistic though. Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway is going to be spectacular. I'm getting an Xbox 360 just for that. Call of Duty, I think, is going in a good direction, as is Medal of Honor. And, by the way, when is Kayne and Lynch: Dead Men coming out?
The Boss was definetly the best out of the series thus far. The battle had an atmosphere of "it's do or die time", which was exciting in itself. When the James Bond-y music kicked in, it gave it an extra cinematic kick, like you were doing something more important then you ever were in the series. I totally agree with GameSpot. And where's Fatman? that was probably the third best boss battle of MGS2. Second is the RAY army and first is Solidus. P.S.: Even though it isn't technically a boss battle, I just wanted to point it out. The assault on Metal Gear Arsenal with Solid Snake was really tight.
