GameblurgKids Talking About the Future

The Citizen Kane (1941) comparisons to famous videogames in the gaming industry are understandable. The movie industry’s most notable and recognizable masterpiece is Citizen Kane. It was a landmark for film production in terms of technicality, narratives and visual storytelling; a milestone that “rewrote the rules of Hollywood cinema”. Its tale was captivating, and filled with characters who collectively shared the professional ability to physically represent a narrative. Kane’s entrance into the movie world was during the industry’s young age in parallel to Metal Gear Solid 4’s (MGS4) arrival into the pubescent videogaming universe. The anxiety and anticipation for the ‘game of all games’ builds steadily. With Metal Gear Solid 4’s recent release, the cinematic potential shown reawakens the hope of the gaming world’s Citizen Kane back to life once more, cultivating discussions and arguments among the blogosphere.

It was time to get rid of the old theme anyways. Throughout the next couple of days, the GameBlurg base will receive many changes to better suit viewing pleasures. Once again, we apologize for our idiocy and will try to avoid mishaps like these in the future. Can’t make any promises, though.

If anyone has experienced slow down, or dealt with awkward style changes during their time spent on GameBlurg, I offer my deepest apologies.

Anyways, disregard some of the slight changes to that might raise an eyebrow, and if you need to read any of the content, comfortably, the RSS feed will display it with more clarity. And no, that is not some cheap way to attempt to score subscribers. This is. In all seriousness, I am deeply sorry, and hope to have everything functional between today and tomorrow.

During my experience of running through Metal Gear Solid 4, there were things in the game (apart from the diluted gun-play) that began to irritate me. This small gripe pertains to the consistent ill-advised exposure of the casts’ women, and the series’ congruent wishes to showcase every woman’s physical assets whenever possible.

See what we’re up to in the gaming universe! We’re starting a videogame diary, and intend to keep it consistent and up-to-date. The main reason is that, we’re “responsibly” moving in and out throughout our “pile of shame” as well as new releases to gain resources and share similar experiences with our readers. Okay, okay…so we were looking for excuses to play more games.

During the age where accessibility and ease are consistent buzz words, one topic that aligns itself simultaneously with these words is the hypothetical situation of the diminished presence of retail games, and the rise of the digital distribution. “Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness”, recently released for the Xbox 360, administers the 1st of what is sure to be many tests of delivering role-playing experiences via downloadable software on the Xbox 360.

Quite a change of pace during the month of June, as we have a few extravaganzas coming our way, with a couple of side tournaments and weeklies/bi-weeklies to occupy your free time as well. (We’ll begin to cover the majority of the events during the 1st weekend of every month so that hype is built earlier during registration periods.) Enough talk, bring on the games!
