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.

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...

Most of us are old enough to remember when the Commodore 64 first came out followed by the Atari system. The initial reaction to these systems was sheer amazement as we played with our pixels for hours upon hours. Soon we learned how to beat the Artificial Intelligence and the games replay value suffered greatly.

So why do video games become boring or outdated? Obviously a huge factor is technology and graphics, but a stronger component is competition and the ability to adapt. Single player games do not offer the ability to adapt; the artificial intelligence today doesn’t allow for complex strategies or maneuvers to be utilized, but we know who can – Humans! Yes, there is nothing like outthinking, outmaneuvering, besting, owning, fragging, or whatever you want to do, to another living, breathing, frustrated human being.

When you get that kill shot on a computer you know they don’t get emotional, but when you take out a live opponent, you know he/she is slamming their keyboard and possibly ripping out their cable modem (Stracraft comes to mind for this). It is not the mere act of succeeding but rather how hard the success was to obtain. Even killing “newbs” (new players) after a while gets old as you need more of a challenge; you need someone that is adept at thinking on the spot and maneuvering in such ways that the computer or a newb could never achieve. You have now reached a new level of your gaming ability and the only way to grow further as a player is to play the best.  Read more...
