Computer Game Review - Innovations And Developments
The continuing advances in graphics technology, platform gaming
infrastructure, processor technology and innovations in design
will see more aggressive developments in computer games this
2006.
Gaming has traveled a long way today from the baby steps of the
video games about thirty years ago. The square and jagged edged
figures that used to dominate and entertain gamers on the screen
is now more video-movie like if not life like that people today
finds computer games more challenging and exciting.
The constant improvements made in computer technology exceeded
expectations in the sales of computer games soft ware and has
turned it into one big business in a very short span of time.
The biggest impact on these games coming form the role playing
games and the first person shooters.
The development of broadband had contributed very substantially
to online gaming that in countries like South Korea, online
gaming (Starcraft Gozu) has gathered a lot of followers dubbing
the game fondly as its national sport. Online gaming has gained
a popularity never seen before (or possible before), that
international tournament are waged and battled online. Always
trying to outwit and outplay the competition, world wide, online
gaming has become very challenging and intense.
Where computer game designs used to be a simpler affair, today
teams of artists, musicians, producers and gaming industries are
working together to make the best and offer their best to the
public that has patronized the games very well. The industry
however has not, in marketing parlance, reached the peak. In my
opinion, it is nowhere near it. The constant innovations that
are shaping the computer games industry is so vast varied
exciting and rewarding, enough material to motivate the
designers and gamers to move on, that who knows what surprises
are in store for the gaming public in the future.
What make computer games very popular are the regular releases
of good computer game software. If you have not yet tried out

category will be heavily participated by Microsoft with their
Xbox 360 - powered by a multi core processing unit, Sony's
Playstation 3 by a cell processor technology, and Revolution by
Nintendo will allow player interaction through a wireless motion
sensing controller.
The popularity of the computer and video games has been a big
business that it has surpassed the revenues of the film industry
excluding the films ancillary revenues. However additional
business for the computer games also comes in the form of
trading cards, T-shirt prints of popular characters in video
games and game titles and television shows that features reviews
and gaming competitions. Judging from continuing developments
and innovations in the game designs and computer technology, the
year 2006 will even be more exciting.
