GAMEGUIDEDOG’S: 2008 TOP 20 HOTTEST GAME TITLES ALONG WITH THE WALKTHROUGH STRATEGY GUIDES TO HELP YOU PLAY THEM!

1. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (EA; Release date: October 27, 2008) – This computer game is a real-time strategy game that is a continuation of the Command & Conquer series. The Red Alert game series asserts that Albert Einstein designed a time machine and used it for the purposes of traveling back in time to kill Adolf Hitler, thus preventing Nazi Germany from forming and preventing World War II from ever taking place. In this scenario, Joseph Stalin becomes Europe’s main aggressor. Following the events of Red Alert 2, the Soviet Union leadership plans to also travel back in time with a time machine they too have created with the intent to assassinate Albert Einstein following his killing of Hitler, thus placing the Soviet Union in a position of power. Unfortunately, during this mission a terrible mistake is made and a completely different timeline is created that erased all of the events of the previous games thus altering the evolution of technology and creating newer, more advanced technologies such as a super power deemed the Rising Sun. This inevitably fuels a World War between the Soviets, the Allies and the Empire.

2. Fable II  (GameGuideDog.com has the walkthrough guide) – Fable II is a role playing game designed to be played on the Xbox 360 console. It is a sequel to Fable and Fable: The Lost Chapters.

The vault overseer becomes suspicious that the player is the cause of the father’s disappearance, so the player decides to travel into the wasteland in search of their father. The player will run into organizations from previous games such as the Brotherhood of Steel (a group of tech coveting survivors), and the Enclave – an elitist and genocidal group from the United States Government.

Hooked on Video Games

Hooked on video gamesThe onset of video game addiction is insidious. It creeps up and grabs hold of the victim before they may even recognize the symptoms. Symptoms include: agitation, anxiety, loss of friends, loss of alternative activities, diminished self-care and limited attendance to everyday responsibilities.

With the advent of modern technology and the availability of the Internet, children, youth and young adults are the first generation raised on a diet of electric media where alternate realities run like water. Therein gamers not only find virtual friends, stories and plot lines, but real sentient beings; other gamers with whom to collaborate in an on-line maze of intrigue, death, destruction and counter culture activities.

Together, real gamers come to rely on each other in a virtual world as they encounter situations designed to form group cohesion and mutual dependency. Particularly enticing to many are games of war and destruction. Here, the death of a colleague translates into really losing that player. The player is off-line. Death is dreaded because you go from insider to nothing… in a heartbeat.

Like being picked last when choosing teams for a game of pick-up basketball or football, no one wants to be in that despised position and certainly no one wants to die first. The game is on and the players develop a sense of loyalty to each other in order to survive and thus they are hooked.

These are often games without end and so to leave the game is tantamount to letting down the team, breaking the chain and undermining the participation of everyone involved. You will be responsible for he death of your collaborators. A group consciousness develops and no player wants to be blamed for letting the others down or in this reality, killing them off. The gamer letting down the team is a pariah, a traitor, someone to avoid in future games. The gamer who lets down the team is someone to be shunned. The one who blinks first by going to dinner or doing homework becomes the one to be avoided by this group. You lose real friends, social connections and your on-line identity. Concurrent to the game, gamers relate to each other; they discuss everything from strategy to how to keep real life from intruding on their play. They support each other’s dependency and participation.

As the grip of the group development and co-dependence strengthens; grades, sleep, friends and self-care slip away.

As a society we prize loyalty, determination and honour. These qualities are perverted to hook players deeper. The uninitiated just doesn’t understand. These virtues hold gamers hostage to the play.

From the outside, as parents, family or friends attempt to withdraw the gamer from on-line life to the activities and demands of everyday life, the gamer resists, feeling increasingly anxious in view of the tugs and pulls away from the game. Conflict ensues between the gamer and loved ones. Attendance to non-gaming life deteriorates. The gamer looks more and more like a crack addict.

Parents and loved ones are well advised to seek professional help and intervention in view of the above scenario. The gamer is hooked to gaming with a ferociousness as seen in any other kind of behavioural addiction. Withdrawal will be a hard fought endeavour and supports will have to be in place to manage anxiety, depression and threats of harm to self or others. For help, speak with your family physician, local community counselling agency or addiction services provider.

How Do I Detatch A Family Member From A Video Game?

My mom plays a game called Runescape and it is bothering me intensely recently. Yesterday she played for over 20 hours straight and now I am greatly disturbed
She found the game off of me when i was 13 and into it. Now she keeps blaming me for it when she asked about it and acts as if her addiction is perfectly normal. She is my mother, so most approaches I have made to take her off the game result in her warning to restrict me from things or stop doing normal stuff she usually does for me. I need help, it has been over 3 years and this is getting awful. I don’t know what to do since I have tried practically everything, she has no self-image.

How To Choose The Right Video Game Console

With so many video game consoles on the market, there is something for everyone. No matter what your budget, taste, or choice in video games is you can be certain that there is a video game console that you will love. How you choose your console depends largely on what you are looking for in video gaming. Do you want games your whole family can play? How important are superior graphics to you? Are you looking for budget friendly consoles? There are so many questions to answer, so here are a few helpful hints on finding the perfect video gaming console for you.

When you are looking at the different video game consoles you can definitely see a trend or rather a market towards certain people. For example, the newest console, the Nintendo Wii, is geared mostly towards families and is an excellent option for those with children. The Playstation 2 is without a doubt the best budget video game console compared to the more expensive Playstation 3. If you are interested in online gaming then you should definitely consider the Xbox 360 which is the leader in online gaming for so many reasons. Lastly you have the previously mentioned Playstation 3. Yes, it is very pricey, but for those who are unworried about budgets, this offers the highest resolution graphics of all the above. The visuals are simply amazing if you have the entertainment setup to enjoy them.

When looking at the video game consoles you also want to take into consideration the video games that come with it or that are sold separately. You want to stay away from worthless extras like games you would never play. Many video game consoles come in packages with games that are “free”, but truly they just charge you extra for the package and you end up paying more then what you would if you just bought the video game console separately with games you actually enjoy.

Make sure everything you need is included. Most will only come with one controller so you need to budget for extra controllers and games as needed. You also might need subscriptions for online gaming if that is what you are into and you may need special cables if you are looking for the best audio and visual performance. Compare all the prices because just as some of them include games, some packages include various cables and “extras” that you may want. It may be less expensive then buying everything separately. Not to mention, prices sometimes vary from store to store, so definitely do a little comparative shopping before buying any video gaming console.

Lastly, before buying any video game console, or video game for that matter, you need to read your video game reviews. There are many websites and gaming magazines that will direct you to exactly what you need and give you very informative video game reviews that will tell you if that console or game has exactly what you are looking for. Don’t rush into any purchase that you may not be happy with. Most of all, when you get your console home, enjoy it and have a great time playing all of your new games.

How Video Games Promote Learning on Children

Video games’ presence and popularity have been ever-growing now days.  They have become one of the most popular entertainment activities for people of all ages including children. Parents should take advantage about this situation to use video games in educational purpose. We should realize the challenge in video games always interesting in children views could function as powerful tools in assisting children cognitive processes.

The use of multimedia in education has significantly changed children’s learning processes.The promise of computers and video games as teachers was recognize in the 1980s where there was a nationwide push to get computers into the classroom. In the same period video games also moved into children’s house. Many researchers investigate whether computer-based video games facilitate children’s cognitive learning achievement. And here are some of the results.

According to the findings of the study, future research should continue to investigate the impact of computer-based video games along with different instructional strategies on varied children’s learning achievements, such as facts, concepts, comprehension, problem-solving, or critical-thinking skills. Results from a number of research studies indicate that appropriately designed multimedia instruction enhances students’ learning performance in science, mathematics, and literacy.

And while some of them have educational content and promote learning, problem solving and help with the development of motor skills and coordination, others emphasize negative themes and promote killing, fighting, foul language, criminal behavior and violence in general. Some children accept violence as a way to handle problems. Studies have also shown that the more realistic and repeated the exposure to violence, the greater the impact on children. In addition, children with emotional, behavioral and learning problems may be more influenced by violent images.

Parents should have a good knowledge and understanding of each child so that they can assist them in selecting appropriate learning materials including video games. These are some tips to buying games for children:

  1. Checking the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings. The rating system will suggest whether a game is appropriate for young children, or if it’s best for teens and older. Just remember you know your children better than anyone, so use the ESRB ratings as a guide instead of a rule.
  2. Find out what your children hoping for with talk to them, but make sure that they understand you’re going to find out more before making a final decision. I know you will get the games that may be educational as well as fun.
  3. Hit some game review sites to get a preliminary list of games. Amazon.com and gamespot.com reviews most major games that have been released. The way you have the better idea to select appropriate games both in content and level of development for your children.
  4. Pay attention at the description of the rating. Find the explanation why it’s rated that way. This is an excellent starting point for whether a game is something you’d be comfortable with.
  5. Try the demo before you buy it, especially if you’re not sure about the content. Many games have demo versions available for free download. You can often find the demos on the game publishers’ site, but if not, you can search for it.

Now parents can enjoy playing video games with their children. But there are another step to make sure this activity will not make problems. Here are a few tips to avoid negative impact of video games:

    1. Do not install video game equipment in your children bedroom
    2. Playing video games with their children to experience the games content.
    3. Remembering that you are a role model for your children – including video games you play as an adult.
    4. Set limits on how often and how long your child is allowed to play video games.
    5. Strongly warning children about potential serious dangers of Internet contacts and relationships while playing games online.
    6. Take the time to discuss with your children the games they are playing. Ask them how they feel about what they observe in these video games.
    7. Talking with other parents about your family video game rules.
