Welcome to

Nintendo Wii announced that they are coming out with motion sensor controls that are more sensitive. This will make game play a lot smoother and more realistic. The latest rage in video gaming is music games. The popularity of Guitar Hero and Rock Band have made the first person shooter a thing of the past. Well, not really, but you get my point.

There are a lot of tech types who made mods using the motion sensors of the wii mote. Some of the hacks turned out pretty good. You can use the wiimote and sensor to create a virtual world on the tv set. Spacial clarity and location can really make it a true interactive virtual environment. Game developers should rush to start making games that are more high tech and before you know it, it’ll be like we are living in a Tron world.

I am excited to be living in this generation. I know that my kids will have super high tech gaming consoles and games. But, they won’t know how it all started. I grew up during the gaming revolution. I saw and played pong and donkey kong. I can draw upon the history that i witnessed and truly appreciate the newer high tech games.

I decided to not limit this blog for wii (workout) diet stuff. I think video games can be good for the brain as well. When i was growing up, my mother used to always tell me that i should be reading books, not playing video games. I wish i didn’t listen to her. I have a college education and am not happy. I wish that i got more involved in video games. Maybe i would have an awesome high paying job as a video game guy. What if i started my own video game company.

In a way, video games are the books of the modern age. Books were written as record keeping devices. I think it helped out in the rapid progress of man. But, it was also a form of entertainment. Reading makes our brain work out. In a way, certain video games do the same thing. Certain strategy games force you to make quick decisions. You have to develop hand eye coordination if you want to be a good videogame guy.

Nintendo has a lot of good educational games. Nintendo ds has brain age and brain academy. Nintendo wii also has brain academy and i’m sure they’ll develop more educational games.
