Gaming Blog Network

I have been out for a while tending to some personal issues; what with trying to figure out the direction that I want to take with my life and trying to navigate some challenging personal relationships that I am facing. Despite that though, there are some positive pieces of gaming news that I want to highlight, furthering the cause that games can be used for good.

First, I would like to highlight a piece written by the site GameGirl.com, which details what you can learn from games. The piece can be read here. I found the life lessons mentioned here impressive and I make sure that I apply them as I conduct my daily affairs. The same site also mentions how the Nintendo DS can soon replace text books. The piece can be read here. Personally, I think this is a great idea, but its execution would have to be used in a way that can benefit everyone. Classes that this would work best for would be English and Math.

Also, who has seen the advertisement below?

I have viewed it on various occasions, and I hold the opinion that it is a great method to reach children and warn them about the dangers of smoking. Gamepolitics and Gamecouch have the history behind the ad. Gamecouch’s full interview can be seen here, while the Gamepolitics excerpt can be read here.

With positive news such as this, it almost makes this Conneticut Senator look like a non-issue, especially in light of her recent remarks regarding a ‘rape scene’ in GTA 4 that never existed. Gamepolitics has more information here.
