The thinking that video games are just for kids has been long dispelled. Today, men and women of all ages are playing. Even the video game makers are catering their games to adults more than kids, knowing that it’s often easier to get someone to fork over $70 for a game if they’re the ones that are going to end up playing it. There has always been a line drawn for the elderly. You don’t see too many people cashing in their social security checks to grab the latest edition of Call of Duty, but it might just be a matter of exposure.

Believe it or not, the Atari brand that American’s have known for the last 31 years has been profitable. Their parent company, Atari S.A.

As a result, Atari US has filed for bankruptcy in the hopes of breaking away and building their own future as a privately held independent company. According to the LA Times: There is evidence that the U.S. operation, which after the sale of other assets now makes up the bulk of Atari S.A.’s business, has been improving. The corporate…

In North America, we usually pay roughly around $60 for a good quality game, and since most games are marketed and produced in America our laws have been able to accommodate our leisure’s.  However, sadly gamers in Brazil do not have the same luxury as us and instead pay nearly double what we do for the same game. The reason behind this is that Government laws in Brazil create the high cost since they have yet to make gaming laws suitable for Brazilian gamers, even though gaming there is quite popular. This is due to an old law that states any type of gaming is a form of gambling which allows the Brazilian…

One of the most advanced technologies as a kid growing up in the 80’s was a VTech Talking Whiz Kid; many of you may remember learning from this gaming system with its external features looking much like a little briefcase when it closed or almost like today’s laptops until the handle popped up.
