Today this article is for part of a game that has seen a large growth in interaction: Multiplayer. When games were being made a lot of them didn’t have multiplayer mainly due to the limitations of the technology. Only a few did have multiplayer functions but that was very limited to one screen or console. Pong was the very first commercialised game that would sell multiplayer functions in games but even than it was limited to the same screen where the action was just hitting a pixel from one… Continue

Good evening or mourning to all.



Today I will only be writing in response to a huge issue. In USA California there is a legislation of the banning of videogames in the actions of games causing violence in soceity.
