The Game Fly is fly with the games.
It seems that people just can't get enough of games. It's like they keep pumping them out before anyone gets a chance to play the last one.
Do you know that the game Ironman is already out? I haven't even seen the movie yet. Quite honestly, I didn't even know it was out.
Games are big time. That Grand Theft Auto series is blowing up, forgive the pun. It's controversial and plenty of parents are trying to keep their kids away. But, what can they do? It wasn't like we listened all the time.
They're selling like wildfire. Chances are that the kid or adult down the street is going to have one.
But, what started it all? Now, that's a good question. Because I'm not talking about Space Invaders or Pong. I'm talking about what started this level of game?
Was it SIMS? I mean, they do come across as so realistic. In fact, people have made videos with them. I remember watching a SIM video to the song Angel by Sarah Mclachlin. It was pretty good. The boy loses his parents in a house fire, lives in an orphanage for a few years and then gets loving foster parents at the very end. Touching.
But, there are other things just as realistic. Like the war games people play online. A guy from Texas and a guy from Florida are on the same team with a guy from New York and another from Washington.
One time I watched them make a video of one of their wars. It appears that one guy fell asleep and they couldn't wake him up. So, they kept doing funny things to him. They dropped him off a cliff. They shot thousands of rounds at him. There was just no waking him up. It was hilarious.
Anyway, I think the fantasy is to live a life you never could and make it as real as possible. I thought games were an escape from real life. Something to take your mind off of life.
But, real life games can teach people things. Just as much good as bad, but you learn things either way. It's just that games have come so far who knows how much further they can go?
