Wholesome Gaming Anyone?

Christian games are making it into the mainstream, despite this era's leaning towards games full of gore and with explicit content. With the latest controversy on games with immoral content such as sex scenes, Christian developers have risen to the challenge of creating video games with wholesome or Christian content. Christian games in general promote Christian values, so that parents need not worry of questionable content.

Two of these Christian games are:

"Dance Praise" from Digital Praise, Inc. combines dancing games with Christian music. Offering four different modes of game play, it features more than 50 Christian songs from rock, rap, hip-hop, techno and other genres. Not much different in concept from the famous Dance Revolution, Dance Praise promises to set players' feet on fire.

"The Rebel Planet Series" is about an era thousands of years before the Great Flood of Noah, in a world called "The Red Planet". An imaginative fantasy world where the Bible is the foundation of truth.

Haven't sampled this games coz, well, they're not my usual thing, but hey, as long as it's an electronic game, it's worth a try, ain't it? ;)

A Little Something More for the Racing Freak

While The Fast and the Furious online racing game truly engages, surely the cravings of racing fanatics like us never quells. Thus, my friends, let me introduce to you to another race game that's sure to rock your world: the TOCA Race Driver 2: Ultimate Driving Simulator (TRD2).

If variety is what you're looking for, this latest release is sure to deliver that. What with its' 31 championships covering 15 different racing styles such as Street Racing, Global GT Lights, Open Wheel Grand Prix, Super Truck Racing, Stockcar Oval Racing and Performance Cars. Packed with lots of race vehicle, styles and circuits, there's simply something in this game for everyone. So whether you want rallying, ice-racing or classic cars, the TRD2 will deliver.

With this heaven of a game, you'll truly feel like you're on the railroad yourself and would be challenged with a good balance of racing sim and arcade-style game play. Here's the lowdown on how it works: all players start as a novice driver, with the goal of getting to the top of the racing world. They are guided by a veteran pit crew chief who gives all these advices for each to succeed, but also tells them directly when they screw up. ^^

While the goals of each race are not really that difficult to achieve, it can be frustrating as you can switch from one type of car to a completely new one without even a single practice lap. Oh, just try it, my friend. You'll see once you play.

All in all, I rate this game kick-ass. ^^

The fast and the furious--getting some online gaming action

Still can't get enough of that action-packed sit-on-the-edges-of-your-seats racing movie? Why not try some first-hand action and get some racing done on your own?

The Fast and the Furious online racing game will give you that drag racing rush you want to get.
The Fast and the Furious racing game has simple but clean graphics, and real-enough roaring sound effects. Not too flashy on either departments, but the tidy work on both makes up for it.

The game starts with a choice of four race cars: a green 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse, a black 1969 Dodge Charger, an orange 1995 Toyota Supra Turbo, and a night blue Honda S2000. The player has the option to choose the speed and quality of connection and the difficulty of the game.

The controls of the game are not too complicated, so you will have no trouble remembering them: SPACE BAR for changing gear up, CTRL for changing gear down, UP arrow for accelerating, DOWN arrow for brakes, and LEFT and RIGHT arrows for swerving left and right.

Now that we've covered the basics, you're all set to get some action right in front of your pc. Race along the streets in the Fast and the Furious game.

Wazzzaaaaaaaaap?

Okay, okay, that greeting's been gone since those Bud commercials faded away a few years back. Hecka funny commercials though, weren't they?

Anyway, here's a blog where I get to blab about one of the greatest inventions known to man - video games. Yup, the hours that we spend mashing away at keyboards and D-pads, the all-nighters we pull to beat some bad ass bosses and unlock secret stages, the 24 hour Gran Turismo races that just shock our systems to no end - it's all good. Here's my tribute to it. Hey, Dungeon and Dragons was fun, but video games just brought it to a whole 'nother level. Know what I mean?

Game on!
