If your television service happens to be http://www.expertsatellite.com/direct-tv-channels.html or you have access to MSNBC, then you might have heard the news regarding the third and final installment of the Mass Effect game trilogy starring Shepard.

The announcement came less than a year after the release and, despite how polarizing the conclusion was, people still agree that Mass Effect 3 was the game to play in 2012.

For those who don’t know, Mass Effect was a sprawling trilogy (although a fourth game is allegedly in the works) that spanned five years and grabbed the hearts and minds of gamers and sci-fi enthusiasts everywhere.

The Sims started out as a simple simulation game that centered around a single family. It mimicked real life in that the family members get up, ate breakfast, went to work, and upgraded every aspect of their lives as they were able to. There were a number of things to micromanage, such as what food to eat, where to work, and which neighbors would become friends. For many, this was a very engrossing game, even though the content itself was somewhat thin.

Over the years a number of expansions and sequels have been released. At present, [...]

For many generations, gamers have been stereotyped as the 30 year old nerd living in the parent’s basement. The Nintendo Wii changed that. The Wii introduced video games to people who never would have considered playing other games. Because of this, Nintendo Wii is considered a gateway console.

Critics who have issue with the Wii feel it is too simple. That simplicity is one of the things that make people flock to it. In this society of instant gratification, people no longer want to play a game for hundreds of hours. People also don’t want [...]
