gaming debate

A week on from the farce that was the gaming debate and I am still dismayed by the outcome that the judges came to. There were without doubt underhand tactics used from the pro gaming team because their argument was no where near as strong as ours......DISGRACE!!

what is a game??

I personally feel a game is something we do that can take part in that can be mentally and physically stimilating. A game needs to have specific rules and an ultimate role.

Wolfgang Kramer of 'The Games Journal' talks in greater detail of what a game is and all of the components of a game.

gaming

I am not a massive fan of gaming. I used to enjoy playing pro evolution soccer but I do not have the time to play on games these days. Championship manager 97/98 is possibly the greatest game that has ever been made!
