2020 Gamer Gaming from a consumer's eyes

[Editors note: video has been added]

Since we went over how to prepare last year, we will take a look at some of the events going on this
year, and determine once again, if it was worth it.

I apologize for the lack of new content recently. As some of you may have notice, we have had an issue with spammers creating numerous accounts and multiple spam posts to go with each. Now that we have tended to that issue we can resume doing what we do best, bring you gaming content from a consumers point of view.

Thank you for your patience,
Marc

Changes will be made to the site over the next few weeks, so do expect to see downtime. This will be done in stages to minimize impact to site viewers.

Thank you for your time and understanding,

I received a counter strike go beta key recently and was very excited as a counter strike fan, but after registering the key I realized that the beta is delayed. On the card it says beta in October, but we are in November. Not sure what is going on, but I am looking forward to making videos for it once the beta is released. As of now steam messages states that it is not ready yet. The beta key card is a holographic card if you turn it a bit you will see a counter terrorist and if you turn it a bit more you will see terrorist pretty neat. Stay tune for the videos once the beta is out.

Gamers from all over the US united in one convention center this past weekend. You didn’t find any hard core gamers putting down the noobtards here. In fact, the number one rule at PAX East was “Don’t be a dick.” A great rule that seemed to work out. So now I will go through a few of the things you’d need to know if you want to go to next year’s convention and if it’ll be worth it.


Prepping for PAX

Crysis 2 has been officially released today in the USA and will be released globally on March 25th for the PC, 360 and PS3.

What do you think of this cross platform sequel to this highly popular PC shooter, is it worth it?

Tanichea will be streaming Live from the Penny Arcade Expo. Keep your eye on the stream to see whats going on.

Update: PAX is over and as such, the feed is over too.

Looks like someone at Sony Ericsson noticed the same trend I did, that is that smartphones are the future of the mobile gaming. This is a topic I have covered here: Click Here for reference.
Yesterday they announced the Xperia Play, an Android OS powered phone with a slide out PlayStation gamepad and a Sony PlayStation application pre-installed. Also will launch with around 50 titles when it is released.

fter being smash hits on multiple smartphone platforms across the globe, Angry Birds now comes to the the PlayStation 3 and PSP according to the new releases post on the PlayStation blog: PlayStation New Releases for Jan 3rd

In the console space this answer is obviously no in the short term, that is for sure. However in the mobile gaming space, this may not be so clear. Right now the Nintendo DS series has been selling extremely well and the Sony PSP is doing okay for itself. So there seems to be some life left in that market for now. However, the rise in smartphone sales across the globe may soon start to cut heavily into the sales of stand alone portable gaming units such as the DS/3DS and the PSP.
