The launch of Gamenode’s new online game FMX Team, is just another indicator of the explosion of free online gaming available on the internet today. FMX Team, for the uninitiated, is a fast moving, motor-cross game raced out over 15 rounds of grueling action via an online connection. Its popularity is almost assured in a market that devours new games, looking for the next big thrill to take the global internet market in online gaming by storm.

It is a far cry for the humble beginnings of the games industry which dates back to before personal computers. In fact it is 1961 that is credited with the invention of the first video game. The game, ‘Spacewars’ was invented by a group of MIT students, who were collectively known as The Tech Model Railroad Club. I am sure the group had no idea of what they had done. It would take nearly two decades before the commercial aspects of this industry would start to be exploited. Without forgetting the years when ‘Pong’ and its tennis game derivatives held our attention, it would be a Japanese technician, Toshihiro Nishikado, who would finally invent the first globally commercial craze in the form of a game called ‘Space Invaders’.  Read more...

In around mid 1980s, people only had two options for playing games, either a computer game, or with video games consoles. Although PCs were not as complex as today, but there was a constant change in them. For example, screen resolutions, processors, processing speeds all changed. And the options were limited to what we can afford.

For using a PC, one must know how to use it for different types of software that it uses. An expert could tune the system to get better performance from it, which is required for playing most PC games. The advanced games have forced the upgradation of these machines. And the concept of console was used to get them work with each new game. Its quite convenient to buy a console and start playing it within few minutes. And due to this the demand of these useful devices has increased with the time.

By just plugging these consoles an individual can always play any game that he/she has bought. Providing this kind of convenience, they have always leaded in sales. And those which wandered from this basic principle have lost sales, or have gone out of business. It was initiated by the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), which was introduced in 1985. The setup of NES was quite simple, by just hooking it up to a TV, and plugging in the controllers & a game cartridge, one can start playing.  Read more...

The future of entertainment is video gaming. Today’s video game consoles take virtual reality to the next level, constantly pushing the envelope in graphical realism. Interactivity hasn’t been left behind either. Revolutionary changes to the game controllers and other videio game accessories add new aspects to the gaming experience. Complex, twisted plots and gamer-defined storylines, combined with hugely interactive environments, are adding the depth to video games that attracts gamers of all demographics. The latest game systems are about more than just video games; they combine social networking, hi-def home theatre entertainment and a slew of other distractions coupled with cutting edge technology.

At the heart of the video gaming industry is the developers’ constant struggle to push the boundaries of reality while working within graphic constraints on the consoles. With each system comes not only a new challenge, but also uniqueness determined by variation in game controllers. Nintendo Wii games differ from both PS3 games and Xbox 360 games, simply because of the Wiimote and its accelerometers. Computer games arguably have the most beefed up graphic requirements, since computer graphics are highly flexible allowing developers to create stunningly detailed and intense environments.  Read more...
