DSiWare Launch Titles: Which Ones to Buy

Categories: Portable Gaming

The short list of launch titles showcased in Nintendo's DSiWare digital distribution service includes clever time-wasters and mini-games ripped from bigger titles.

The inexpensive downloadable games, which go on sale Sunday when the $170, Wi-Fi-equipped Nintendo DSi launches in the United States, have already been released in Japan, along with dozens of other titles for the new hardware.

Nintendo said Wednesday that everyone who buys a DSi and logs in to the online DSi Shop through Oct. 5 will receive 1,000 free Nintendo Points with which to buy software. The company has not yet released prices for the DSiWare launch games, but if they cost the same as the Japanese versions, here's what you can expect to pay — and which games you should pick up.

200 points ($2)

Master of Illusion Express: Funny Face (above left): It's a magic trick pulled from Nintendo's retail game Master of Illusion. If you already own that game, you already have this — an audience member picks a card, and you draw a face on the screen that comes to life and tells them which card they picked. The enjoyment you will get out of this is equivalent to the amount of time you spend doing magic tricks in front of your friends and family.

Bird & Beans (above right): Based on Pyoro, the unlockable mini-game from the WarioWare series. You collect beans with the bird's tongue. This is a small-scale time-waster of a game — it's been compared to a modern-day Game & Watch. For $2, you might find it to be just the sort of addictive burst of activity to get you through those odd moments.

500 Points ($5)

Art Style: Aquia (above left): A match-three puzzle game in which you shift blocks to the left and right, pulling them in and out of the tower. I love the style — this, and all other Art Style games, are made by the unorthodox clever types at Skip — but I was pretty much flummoxed by the puzzle mechanics. This seems like a game that hard-core puzzle fans will love and casuals will get at least somewhat confused by.

WarioWare: Snapped! (above right): The latest in the WarioWare series of games, which string together a series of lightning-quick five-second "microgames" all built around a theme, uses the DSi's camera. You use your silhouette to control the on-screen action. It's fun, but you need to be able to set the DSi on a table and have really good lighting to use it properly. You can't play this one on the bus. Whether or not you buy it should depend on what kind of portable player you are.

800 Points ($8)

Brain Age Express: Math (above): Enjoy training your brain occasionally, but don't feel like carrying your Brain Age game with you everywhere you go? Download this app, which will sit on your DSi forever, and do some math problems anytime you feel like it. This isn't really anything new — just a selection of games from the retail version of Brain Age.

That's the launch lineup. With a ton of apps and games already available in Japan, it's easy to imagine DSiWare's shop filling up with lots more games in short order.

You could hold on to your free 1,000 points until something better comes along — say, Dr. Mario or Mr. Driller, or more Art Style games — but if you want to blow it all right now, what should you get?

I'd recommend skipping the $2 microgames and the $8 version of Brain Age (can't you buy a used Brain Age for $8 these days anyway?) and buying the two $5 titles, WarioWare Snapped! and Aquia.

Study finds 'action' video games can improve vision

So, we've got good and bad news for you. First, the good news: A study conducted by the University of Rochester has found that "the very act of action video game playing enhances contrast sensitivity." Rather, playing lots of Call of Duty might actually help keep your eyes in shape and the contrasts in color sharp as you age. But now, the bad news: Those 100+ hours you sunk into Fallout 3 may not have helped.

The study explains that, of the "expert video game players" tested, the "VGP group" (group playing "action" games Unreal Tournament 2004 and Call of Duty 2) exhibited "enhanced contrast sensitivity" versus the "NVGP group" (the folks playing "non-action" game The Sims 2), especially in the light of the population differences' interactions with spatial frequencies. Wait, WHAT?!

In so many words, majority percentages of the "VGP group" were clustering together on the high end of the scale while "NVGP group" numbers were clustering on the other end. Professor Gary Rubin, of the University College London Institute of Ophthalmology, sums up these findings rather nicely, saying, "This is a small study, showing a small effect, but it was carefully done, and merits further investigation."

2010 Games officials eye global warming costs

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Organizers of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games said on Monday they are confident they can find sponsors to help with the estimated C$4.5 million ($3.6 million) cost of keeping the event from adding to global warming.

The Winter Games in Vancouver are expected to create about 300,000 tonnes of carbon emissions, including those from airplanes bringing thousands of athletes and spectators to the western Canadian city.

The Vancouver Organizing Committee said it is in talks with carbon offset management companies it hopes will help sponsor the cost of buying credits, which it said is running between C$10 and C$20 a tonne.

But the search for sponsors also comes as VANOC and other international sporting event groups are struggling to line up sponsors amid the global economic crisis.

"We're very confident we will be able to get partners on this," VANOC chief executive John Furlong told reporters outside an international conference in Vancouver on the environmental costs of major sports events.

The offset credits would come from investing in projects such as renewable energy.

While Vancouver is not the only host city to promise a "carbon neutral" Olympics, Canadian organizers say they are also including emissions created outside the 17 days of competition.

"We have expanded the scope by taking in air travel and starting when VANOC started (to include venue construction)," said Linda Coady, who is in charge of sustainability efforts at the committee.

Air travel for athletes and spectators to and from the Games in February 2010 and Paralympic Games in March is the largest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions related to the sporting event, VANOC officials said.

The 300,000-tonne estimate is based on a 2007 study by the environmental David Suzuki Foundation, and organizers say they may have been able to cut that with changes in venue and transportation planning.

A revised estimate is scheduled to be released in October.

The estimated C$4.5 million to buy offset credits is not included in VANOC's C$1.7 billion operating budget, and officials did not

The Suzuki Foundation, which is working with VANOC, released its own report on Sunday warning that global warming is a threat to traditional winter Olympic sports in Canada as shorter winters leading to less ice and snow.

Video game play may improve eyesight

Study:-

Playing action video games may help adults improve their eyesight, according to a study released Sunday.

A new study finds that playing action video games such as "Call of Duty 2" can help improve eyesight.

People who used a video-game training program saw improvements in their contrast sensitivity, or the ability to notice subtle differences in shades of gray, according to a study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience. The training could be beneficial to people who have amblyopia--commonly known as lazy eye--and those who have trouble seeing while driving at night, the study said.

"Normally, improving contrast sensitivity means getting glasses or eye surgery--somehow changing the optics of the eye," Daphne Bavelier, professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester, said in a statement. "But we've found that action video games train the brain to process the existing visual information more efficiently, and the improvements last for months after game play stopped."

Researchers studied two groups that played video games for 50 hours during a nine-week course. One group played action games such as "Call of Duty 2" and "Unreal Tournament 2004." Another group played non-action games such as "Sims 2," which doesn't require precise, visually guided aiming actions. People who played the action games showed enhanced contrast sensitivity compared to those in the non-action game group, with improvements ranging from 43 percent to 58 percent, according to the study.

"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration that contrast sensitivity can be improved by simple training," Bavelier said. "When people play action games, they're changing the brain's pathway responsible for visual processing. These games push the human visual system to the limits and the brain adapts to it, and we've seen the positive effect remains even two years after the training was over."

The results appear to mirror those in a 2007 study that found people who played action video games for a few hours a day over the course of a month improved their spatial resolution by about 20 percent.

Researchers suggested that the video game training's effect could last for years and could be a useful complement to other eye-correction techniques such as eyeglasses, contact lenses or surgery. The study, which was funded by the National Eye Institute and the Office of Naval Research, noted that not all action games have such a benefit to the visually impaired.

Game Group slips on talk of new online rival

Computer games retailer Game Group seems to divide opinion at the moment, between those who believe it is well placed to cash in and those who believe it faces growing competitive pressure.

The bulls would point to new consoles, new games, as well as the company's buoyant trading performance, and the fact that competitors such as Zavvi and Woolworth have been taken out of the picture.

Bears suggest the growth cannot continue, and technology will ultimately mean games buying their fix online rather than traipsing down to the local shopping centre.

If the latter seems too far away to worry about, then a new launch in the US this week may well change people's minds. In a sell note on the company, analysts at KBC Peel Hunt has drawn the City's attention to a presentation at the Game Developer Conference of a new US start up called Onlive. Analyst John Stevenson said:

"Onlive has been developing the model for the digital distribution of games for seven years in relative secrecy and has announced its intended public beta trials for the summer, ahead of a full US launch at the end of this year. The system is designed to allow players to stream on-demand games of up to HD quality onto any Intel-based Mac or PC running XP or Vista, regardless of how powerful the computer, or to television via a plug-on box.

"What is the threat? Onlive is seeking to host games on its servers rather than requiring users to download the game itself and requires no specific console hardware. In other words, users will be able to play the latest PS3 or Xbox games without needing to own the console itself or buy physical game software in a direct distribution model to rent or purchase the games.

"While there is a huge step between concept, live demo and actual execution, US press previews appear to have been delivered without any hiccups and the business model has enlisted the support of most major games developers.

"Is this credible? Onlive is seeking to launch in the US only towards the end of 2009, albeit this has material implications for the games industry and current distribution channels if the company can successfully execute an online distribution model at real-time speed.

"Our sell stance on Game Group is predicated on our view that the current console cycle has peaked and operating profit will fall away over the next 2-3 years. We had assumed there would be a fourth generation console cycle in the near future, without the immediate threat of online distribution, with the next cycle still driven by the next generation Xbox, Wii and PlayStation.

"However, whether Onlive's initial foray is successful or not, the threat of online distribution has become much more tangible; the genie is now out of the bottle."

‘LittleBigPlanet’ wins big at game developers awards

“LittleBigPlanet” sacked the competition to win four trophies at the Game Developers Choice Awards.

Developed by Media Molecule, the cutesy PlayStation 3 adventure game which allows players to create and share their own levels was honored for best game design, debut, technology and innovation at the Game Developers Conference ceremony Wednesday evening.

Bethesda Softworks’ “Fallout 3” seized the evening’s top prize. The post-apocalyptic shooter, which is set in the ruins of Washington, D.C., blasted fellow nominees “LittleBigPlanet,” Valve Software’s “Left 4 Dead,” Lionhead Studios’ “Fable II” and Rockstar Games’ “Grand Theft Auto IV” to win game of the year. “Fallout 3” was also awarded the best writing trophy.

Selected by a jury of game creators, the Game Developers Choice Awards honor the best games of the past year. The lively ninth annual ceremony was hosted by “Psychonauts “ and “Brutal Legend” developer Tim Schafer.

Other winners at the ceremony at the Moscone Convention Center were Ubisoft Montreal’s “Prince of Persia” for best visual art, Ready at Dawn Studios’ “God of War: Chains of Olympus” for best handheld game, EA Redwood Shores’ “Dead Space” for best audio and 2D Boy’s “World of Goo” for best downloadable game.

photos on the web

There are so many online photo-printing services available on the Internet, they all seem to blend together. One service, Shutterfly (shutterfly.com), is betting that personalization and social networking tools can help separate it from the pack.

Shutterfly offers its members the opportunity to create their own photo-sharing Web sites. In addition to uploading your favorite pictures, you can post journal entries, embed a planning calendar, create your own polls and more, all with tools provided by Shutterfly.

Setting up a customized site is so easy even computer novices should be able to do it. To begin, Shutterfly lets you select from a wide range of basic, but attractive site templates. You can rearrange elements on the templates by simply dragging-and-dropping it to the area you like. Child’s play!

You can also control the level of privacy on your site, restricting who has viewing access, upload/download permissions as well as who can leave comments.

And because the site is hosted by a photo-printing service, visitors to your site can create and purchase any number of products that Shutterfly offers such as photo books, cards, posters and more.

old titles find audience

The audience for video games has changed a lot in the last few years, with more women and older players picking up joysticks. That’s created a demand for more games that families can enjoy together, like “Wii Sports” and “Rock Band,” and publishers have had a hard time adjusting to a more lighthearted, casual style of play.

One way to attract those new gamers is with familiar titles — names like Scrabble, Yahtzee, Boggle and Trivial Pursuit. All those brands belong to Hasbro, and Electronic Arts has the electronic publishing rights to all of Hasbro’s board games.

“It’s the perfect time to have these products,” says Chip Lange, general manager of EA’s Hasbro division. “Everyone realizes this is a new form of family entertainment.”

EA had some success last year with the compilation “Hasbro Family Game Night” on the Nintendo Wii, and it’s now introducing some of those games on Microsoft’s Xbox Live. Lange says the EA versions of games like Scrabble and Monopoly are more than just simple translations. “We’ve invested some creativity in the brands,” he says.

Xbox Walkthroughs - Benefits of Getting to the Next Level of Your Game

Benefit of XBox

Not every game player has the chance of striking the perfect game the first time they play. If you are just learning about an Xbox game, and need some assistance in getting it right, then using the Xbox walkthroughs is your answer to learning the instructions for good combat and to move to the next level. This particular set of guides is one that provides you with more entertainment and the best results for getting to the next level.

Benefits of Xbox Walkthroughs

The concept behind Xbox game walkthroughs is to provide direct instructions for various areas of one game. These are also referred to as Xbox codes or cheats, both of which provide you with the basics of getting to the next level in any game. According to statistics, almost 61% of game players use walkthroughs when they are stuck in a specific area, with 23% saying they would rather figure out the best strategy to get out of the area themselves. Only 16% of players constantly use walkthroughs as a main guide to help themselves in learning a game.

The best part of Xbox walkthroughs is that it provides you with the best alternative towards getting out of a spot you are stuck in. If you are not sure about the next moves to take, or are uncertain about a specific game spot, then using the cheats can act as a guide, simply to get you to the next level. For most, they consider this option an easy way to enjoy more of the game, without getting stuck.

Should You Use Walkthroughs?

Even though the popularity of walkthroughs is a part of the experience of gaming, some disagree with the concept, and believe that it is cheating your way out of being able to play a good game. Some say that the main disadvantage of using walkthroughs is that you don't get to consider the strategies and alternatives available for getting through a specific section, which makes it simple to work towards the complete win of a certain video game. Of course, if you use the walkthroughs correctly, this may not be the case.

Finding Walkthroughs

There are hundreds of online areas that store walkthroughs and share cheats with other members to help you get to the next level. Most of these are free Xbox walkthroughs, and are combined with social networks of what others have found working at certain levels of different games. Some of these areas combine the top games, while others focus on complete Xbox codes for only one game. You can also find options with the Xbox console itself; however, most of these are limited to instruction guides.

If you are looking for a better way of enjoying your Xbox game console, then using Xbox walkthroughs is an option to consider for a better game. This provides you with the best alternatives towards getting to the goal of your game and allows you to move through the most difficult parts of a game so you can enjoy new levels available through the area you are in.

No Cost Movie Downloads: Truth or Fiction?

It’s easy to get free movies off the internet. There is a plethora of websites uploading them so that internet users can have free movie downloads or at a jaw-dropping cheap price. People are starting to wonder whether or not these so-called “freebies” are too good to be true. In fact, many of the legitimate free movie sites require low-cost membership fee. People who encounter sites that obligate these types of charges complain almost immediately that “free” isn’t so no-cost after all. What potential patrons don’t realize is that nothing comes for free; not even on the Internet.

In order to have these films available, these websites have to employ people to keep the operation going. Because ask yourself this: would you work for no compensation? They also have to purchase and maintain the upkeep of equipment which includes a server, software, and computers. After all, who would give away any of those expensive devices at no cost? So next time you run into a fee you don’t like, stop it. Quit the whining and be thankful that your minor fees aren’t $10 per DVD, but instead a small price for a lifetime of movie downloads. When you’re looking for a reliable website, read the reviews and conduct proper research. Once that battle is over, just click, receive, and enjoy.

Music and Music Videos at No Charge Available on the Internet?

The beginnings of the download craze began with mp3s. Mp3s are still very popular amongst electronics consumers and so, the industry continues to be highly accommodating with devices such as the Apple iPod and the Microsoft Zune. Just like membership sites with free movie downloads, free music is in abundance and ready for your internet browser to hit their pages. Why bother forking over $15 per CD when you only listen to one-third of the songs? Instead, pick and choose the songs you want at no cost. Just like with sites offering free movie downloads, please do your research thoroughly. Reliable reviews can be found at Movies Music Games & More so check it out!

Game Downloads at No Fees

Considering how successful the video game industry is, it was only natural that free video games would become available on the internet. The people who run these sights have mountains of obstacles against them. Because after all, developers are putting out new games faster than rabbit reproduction thanks to the popularity of recently released consoles such as the Nintendo Wii and the Xbox 360. But, they’re working hard to make sure you guys get to play free versions of your favorite games on your very own computers. Again, go to Movies Music Games & More to review free stuff download sites. Happy downloading!
