There's a first time for everything. Do you remember the first time you played games? What brings you wanna become a player? I think most players played video games when they were still very young, such as Contra, Super Mario. And this maybe the first experience of game for them. Or some may started their game journey by PC games or PSP, Wii. Or, maybe some just began from MMOs. We may come from different countries, we may played games on different platforms, we may played different games, however, we are all players. What is the first game you played?

So what made you become a player?

a.Just be invited by friends.

b.I got game informations from mass media then I started my game journey.

c.I become a player when I owned my first PSP/Wii/Xbox...

d.Others.

And how long has it been since you became a player?

a.Less than 3 years.

b.between 3 years to 5 years.

c.5 to 10 years.

c.More 10 years.

Then, let's have a general view about what happened last week.

Why Do We Cheat?

Every game has rules and a means of breaking those rules. Videogames, which are among the most complex games on the planet, feature suitably complex means of cheating. There are in-game codes, hacks, mods, code-altering devices...

I had a great time Saturday at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational 2008, and I'd like to share some impressions of the event. You can find videos of the opening ceremony and various debate panels elsewhere...

Drop It Like It's Hot

One of the most challenging aspects of game creation is finding out what your target audience likes. After finding that out, your second challenge is taking that information and coming up with something acceptable to the masses.

MMORPGs Should Be Done at Release

MMORPGs should be done at release. I simply do not understand where people picked up the notion that simply because MMORPGs are ever evolving and changing worlds that they can be underdeveloped and unfinished.

a great article. your and my experience does not have much differences and i also like enjoying the game's sorroundings and doing quest with a group of people but having too much botters and cheaters really destroys my gaming experience.

Aion, as Beautiful as Before, Is Different to Me Now

Personally, I found Final fantasy XI to be a big let down. The pace of the game is so tedious. Being a big fan of the whole series on consoles- i expected quite a lot. However, Perhaps FFXIV may be different. F2P sounds good however a lot of riff raff usual entail with such things.

FF XIV Follow-up Report: F2P is not an Impossible Dream

Sad....Is she that godly at CS?? I doubth it. Quiting school bad move. "models for a friend" = Doing Xrated things and degrating your self. Notice it's not a professional company. I mean honestly, if you can't even finish the basics which is (1st-12th grade) and graduate.... How much or a moron can you be??.... Her looks will fade, her hands will develop artritis and she will either get pregnant or catch an STD and end up working a dead end shitty job living with her parents. But this is after the whole CS thing blows up in her face.
