<p><a href="http://youtube.com/thematt7000"><strong>Matthew Sabia</strong></a> is back with a screencast showing off a free program from IObit called <a href="http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html"><strong>Game Booster</strong></a>. This little solution can help speed up the response rate of your favorite games with just a few clicks of your mouse. </p>
<p>It works by updating hardware drivers, downloading essential gaming tools, tweaking system settings for gaming, defragmenting game directories, temporarily shutting down background processes, cleaning RAM, and intensifying processor performance.</p>
<p>Even just a few extra frames can make a big difference in your gaming experience. CNET recommends this program, as does Lifehacker. Game Booster really does make a difference, so why not give it a try?</p>

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/iAligator"><strong>Ali</strong></a> has had <a href="http://go.tagjag.com/codblackops"><strong>Call of Duty: Black Ops</strong></a> in his hot little hands for a while now. He was cool enough to create a screencast for all of you so that you can check out the game before deciding to buy it. This game is the seventh installment of the Call of Duty series. COD is a first-person shooter that has been wildly popular over the years. </p>
<p>The last game in the series has had a lot of haters, including videos of people snapping their discs. There was a lot of high hopes for Black Ops. People wanted a lot of changes, and Ali feels that many of these have been addressed. </p>
<p>Some of the game features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Wide array of play modes including single player, local multiplayer versus and online co-op and multiplayer</li>
<li>Seventh installment of the Call of Duty series, based on the live fire conflicts of the Cold War era</li>
<li>Diverse variety of play setting ranging from urban air and ground combat in SE Asia, to snow combat in Soviet region and jungle combat</li>
<li>Blending of traditional COD, and new first-person character scenarios designed to both retain the essence of the COD gaming experience and ensure constantly flowing and varied action</li>
<li>New arsenal of weapons and vehicles tied to the Cold War era, including the SR-71 Blackbird and sited explosive-tipped crossbows</li>
</ul>
<p>Have you gotten <strong>your</strong> hands on the game yet? What are your thoughts so far?</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve hardly used the game system, and don&#8217;t even remember booting it up since I unboxed it. It&#8217;s the latest generation of PSP and is silver. I have some cases and the original packaging. It&#8217;s in near-pefect condition. I simply don&#8217;t want it, I don&#8217;t play it and I don&#8217;t need it sitting around.</p>
<p>Make me a competitive offer and this could be yours.</p>

<p>Microsoft and Bungie sent me an advance copy of &#8220;Halo: Reach&#8221; to play. Given that I&#8217;m not that much of a FPS kind of geek, I thought I&#8217;d just pop in the disc and let you see what I saw &#8211; for the first time, together.</p>
<p>After stopping the recording, i did play it for quite a while longer &#8211; as the people in the <a href="http://live.pirillo.com"><strong>chat room</strong></a> will tell you. In fact, I might still be playing it right now. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve learned one thing about &#8220;Halo: Reach&#8221; so far: <strong>DON&#8217;T LET THE AI PLAYERS DRIVE</strong>.</p>
<p>Sadly, there is one thing missing from this game: a n00b mode. The easy mode still is too much for someone like me. I&#8217;m not a gamer, by any stretch of the imagination. The game looks and sounds great, though, and that&#8217;s all I could ask for. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://chris.pirillo.com/halo-reach-release-september-14-2010/">Halo: Reach Release September 14, 2010</a></p><p><a href="http://www.bungie.net/Projects/Reach/default.aspx"><strong>Halo: Reach</strong></a> is finally here! I was one of the lucky few to receive an <a href="http://chris.pirillo.com/guess-what-i-have-halo-reach/"><strong>advance copy</strong></a> of the game to try out. I have to say &#8211; it&#8217;s pretty amazing! I fired up my Xbox 360 over the weekend and gave the game my best effort. Keep in mind, I&#8217;m NOT a gamer by any stretch of the imagination. However, the graphics and overall game play on this version of the popular series is nothing short of fantastic.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://s3.pirillo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/HaloReach.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 15px;"></center></p>
<p>Halo: Reach is considered to be the prequel to the entire Halo series. It tells the story of Noble Team &#8211; a group of Spartans &#8211; who saved numerous lives against impossible odds. The planet Reach is humanity&#8217;s last line of defense between the Covenant and their goal of destroying the Earth. If they fail, humanity will be perched on the brink of destruction.</p>
<p>Top features of the game include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Welcome to Noble Team.</strong> &#8211; Halo: Reach immerses you in the ominous and heroic story as you play a member of Noble Team. Each member has deadly talents as unique as their individual personality and customized gear.</li>
<li><strong>Intense and Epic Campaign.</strong> &#8211; Live the events that set the stage for the entire Halo trilogy as the UNSC and Covenant clas at the height of their military power. New weapons, vehicles and abilities compliment the familiar Halo arsenal. Wage the biggest battles ever witnessed inside of the Halo universe.</li>
<li><strong>Definitive Multiplayer Experience.</strong> &#8211; The Halo series has set the gold standard for multiplayer experience with this iteration of the game. There are new social settings for matchmaking. This helps you find like-minded teammates, vote on preferred maps and keep an active roster. There are also new multiplayer game modes, such as &#8220;Invasion&#8221; and &#8220;Arena&#8221; to offer competitive players a chance to show off their uber skills like never before.</li>
<li><strong>Technical Advancements.</strong> &#8211; Halo: Reach takes a huge leap forward with an all-new type of engine technology. Power your way through massive scale combat across unthinkable environments. Fight up close and personal alongside several new characters and creatures. The new engine represents the next generation of art, studio, AI, animation and special effects.</li>
<li><strong>Player Customization and Rewards.</strong> &#8211; Halo: Reach gives you the ability to customize your Spartan with a variety of armor accessories. These will appear in both multiplayer and campaign play. You&#8217;ll be rewarded for nearly everything you do, no matter what your style of play is. Earn credits to unlock additional cosmetic upgrades via the Armory.</li>
</ul>
<p>There are two special editions of the game. Both include collectible items and special in-game content. </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Halo: Reach Limited Edition</strong> &#8211; This edition includes a game disc housed in recovered ONI black box. It features an exclusive Elite armor set for use in multiplayer modes. You&#8217;ll also find an artifact bag containing Dr. Halsey&#8217;s personal journal and other classified documents which unravel long-held secrets from around the Halo universe.</li>
<li><strong>Halo:Reach Legendary Edition</strong> &#8211; This is the complete Halo: Reach collection. You&#8217;ll find the game disc, a manual and the contents listed above for the Limited Edition. Also, you&#8217;ll enjoy a Noble Team statue crafted by artisans at McFarlane Toys. There&#8217;s also an exclusive multiplayer Spartan armor effect.</li>
</ul>
<p>By every stretch of the imagination, Halo: Reach is sure to be a huge hit for Microsoft and Bungie Games. More than 2.7 million players participated in the “Halo: Reach” multiplayer beta in May, making it the largest console video game beta test on record and more than triple the size of the historic “Halo 3” beta.</p>
<p>Are you anxious for the release of Halo: Reach tomorrow? Have you already gotten a copy in your hot little hands?</p>

<p>I consider myself an extreme casual gamer (which is why I spent this weekend at home playing Web games instead of rubbing shoulders with stinky geeks at PAX across town). Not sure if you&#8217;d heard of these two in particular, but I&#8217;d be surprised if you had &#8211; unless you were following me on <a href="http://twitter.com/chrispirillo"><strong>Twitter</strong></a> and <a href="http://facebook.com/chrispirillo"><strong>Facebook</strong></a>, then you would have found out about these two and a helluva lot more long before this video was uploaded.</p>
<p><a href="http://scrabb.ly/"><strong>Scrabb.ly</strong></a> was created by a Seattle-area developer in less than twenty-four hours&#8217; time. This is a very cool MMO word-game where you continue to build words on tiles. </p>
<p><a href="http://swarmation.com/"><strong>Swarmation</strong></a> is another online multi-player game where each pixel is a person from somewhere in the world. The idea is to get everyone to work together to form the specified design within the time period allotted. You have to collaborate to score points. </p>
<p>Both of these games tie back into <a href="http://nodeknockout.com"><strong>Node Knockout</strong></a>. The idea of this particular endeavor was to bring developers together to build on Node.JS to build things based on JavaScript. The list is seriously extensive if you scroll through to take a look. There are a ton of games and services.</p>
<p>If you have browsed the list at Node Knockout and have found something I might like that wasn&#8217;t reviewed in this video, leave me a link in the comments section. I&#8217;d hate to miss out on something else I can get addicted to. </p>

<p>It&#8217;s true: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/09/technology/09drill.html?_r=1"><strong>The New York Times reported</strong></a> on Sunday that Women are starting to outpace men in online time with social networking, instant messaging, and other communications.  The most shocking one is online gaming!  Will we see women take over gaming in the next few years? Lamarr chose to do his weekly video about this topic, and is curious to see what your thoughts are.</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t much of a surprise to learn that women are more social than men. Hello! We already knew this. Women spend about 1/3 of their time online socializing, while men only spend about 1/4 of their time. What&#8217;s even more interesting is that women over the age of 45 had the largest growth recorded in the areas of photo sharing, shopping online, using social networking sites and talking to others via instant messenger applications. </p>
<p>The shock comes in when you read on and find out that <strong>women over the age of 55</strong> spent the most time gaming online over every other age group (and gender!) &#8211; <strong>by far</strong>. Remember that we&#8217;re not talking about playing the Xbox or PlayStation, folks. We are looking only at online gaming &#8211; and older women are way ahead of younger male and female counterparts in this area. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s interesting to see in the article that nearly as many women as men visit online gambling platforms. The story also claims that about half of men visit adult-themed websites &#8211; but nearly 1/3 of women do, as well! Upcoming Gnomedex speaker <a href="http://twitter.com/violetblue"><strong>Violet Blue</strong></a> will be proud to see that. </p>
<p>Overall, there are more men who play games. But &#8211; women tend to spend more time playing. Do you respect women gamers, or do you feel that they cannot compete with men? Did Lamarr just light a fuse? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://chris.pirillo.com/ea-mobile-summer-game-lineup/">EA Mobile Summer Game Lineup</a></p><p><a href="http://go.tagjag.com/eagames"><strong>EA Mobile</strong></a> has officially announced their upcoming late-summer lineup of new game offerings. Since the iPhone was first released, EA Mobile has been one of the leading players in the gaming apps field. Popular games from the company have included Scrabble, Tetris, Monopoly and Battleship. In 2009, their game The Sims 3 was the #1 best-selling game on the app store. </p>
<p>Following are nine of the new games that you can expect to see hitting iTunes in the near future:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>MADDEN NFL 11</strong> – This game will be available for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. This is considered to be the most authentic NFL game in the app store. This iteration is purported to be even better than before! In Madden NFL 11, fans and gamers will be able to play <strong>BOTH</strong> sides of the ball using Total Defensive Control. You&#8217;ll enjoy less time in the playbook and more time on the field with the new GameFlow feature. You can now draw Hot Routes everywhere which literally draws a player&#8217;s movements on the field pre-snap. This creates the play <strong>YOU</strong> want to run. This game is slated to be released this fall. </li>
<p><center><img src="http://s3.pirillo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/MaddenNFL11.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 15px;"></center></p>
<li><strong>Reckless Racing </strong> – Reckless Racing will be released for the iPhone and iPad. The game features roaring engines, squealing tires and amazing graphics. It mixes top-down racing game play with engaging multiplayer features. The balanced controls let you skid, slip and slide through some gorgeous tracks. It features a fully-stocked multiplayer mode, online leaderboards and the ability to trade &#8220;ghost races&#8221; with other players from anywhere in the world. Reckless Racing will hit the streets soon. </li>
<p><center><img src="http://s3.pirillo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/RecklessRacing.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 15px;"></center></p>
<li><strong>Need for Speed™ Nitro-X</strong> &#8211; This new iteration of the popular game is coming to the Nintendo DSi. This arcade racing game features stylized cars and thrilling racing environments.

<p>I saw a question on Lockergnome the other day where Luke admitted he has a gaming addiction. He <a href="http://lockergnome.net/questions/48508/how-do-i-stop-my-gaming-addiction"><strong>reached out to the community for help</strong></a> in overcoming it. He managed to stop playing all day long, but finds himself not caring about other activities. He feels a strong pull towards his game(s), and doesn&#8217;t know how to get past that. The first thing to remember that it IS an addiction, just like with a gambler or drug addict. An addiction is in your mind, and it&#8217;s not an easy thing to overcome. It takes a lot of strength and willpower just to admit you need help in that area, and I commend Luke for reaching out for advice. </p>
<p>Thankfully, I was never addicted to gaming. A gaming addiction can be quite a tremendous hurdle to overcome. Telltale signs of addiction are things like not showering, not participating in other activities, forgetting your friend and family and allowing your plants to die even.</p>
<p>You could quit cold turkey &#8211; but that honestly isn&#8217;t recommended. It&#8217;s very difficult to do, much as it is for a smoker to do. Take your knowledge of the game(s) you understand well, and translate that into wisdom. Share it with others online. Do screencasts and videos full of tips and tricks. Use your passion in other ways that are related to the game but don&#8217;t actually involve playing it. Heck, sketch some art. </p>
<p>I am not a doctor or counselor. I am more of a Geek coach. I am simply trying to give some suggestions to Luke. If you have any, be sure to leave him some comments and give him the support he needs.</p>
<p>Remember, if you or someone you know is a gaming addict, you should seek help to overcome it if you feel you cannot do it on your own. There are many documented cases of people losing jobs, relationships and families due to becoming so addicted to a game that they forget the rest of their life. Don&#8217;t let this happen to you. </p>

<p><a href="http://go.tagjag.com/crackdown2"><strong>Crackdown 2</strong></a> is about to hit the stores and we were lucky enough to get a review copy early. Community member (and professional DJ) <a href="http://www.lockergnome.com/danwood/"><strong>Dan Guru-Meditation Wood</strong></a> was kind enough to play the game for a while and then create a video review for all of us to enjoy.</p>
<p>The story for the game takes place in Pacific City which is filled with infected humans who attempt to kill anything that gets in their way. You alone have to attempt to save the city from certain doom. According to Dan, the disaster is of epic proportions, much like that found in I Am Legend and 28 Days.</p>
<p>Crackdown was one of the original titles released with the Xbox back in 2007. This game takes place some ten years later. The freaks have escaped from the research center they were contained in during the original release. The virus is now starting to spread through the city and affect the general population. </p>
<p>You join the game as the Agency goes back online and is trying to regain control over the city. Your character is one of the first agents who is back on the streets of Pacific City. There&#8217;s an interesting three-way power struggle within the game. Not only are you out to kill nearly anything that moves, you also have to dodge those who are after you and your blood.</p>
<p>The more Agility Orbs you collect throughout the game, the more your skill improves. Chasing them around as they fly through the air can be challenging, but the reward is very worth your effort. More kills mean more strength. The game rewards the player for doing things. THe more you do, the more your skill improves.</p>
<p>The game isn&#8217;t only about walking around and shooting people. You are trying to regain control of the city, remember? There will be a series of challenges you&#8217;ll have to complete. </p>
<p>This game has pretty much everything you could ask for: a great storyline, challenges and skill-ups, racing elements, third-person-shooter elements, awesome weapons and more!</p>
<p>By the way&#8230; according to about 80% of the commenters on YouTube, Dan has an amazing voice and should start a Lockergnome radio station. What do you think of that idea?</p>
<p>Are you a game reviewer, too? Can you produce high quality reviews for the Lockergnome Network? Let us know! Email my assistant and Community Manager <a href="mailto:kat@lockergnome.com"><strong>Kat</strong></a> for details. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://chris.pirillo.com/top-5-tips-for-game-developers/">Top 5 Tips for Game Developers</a></p><p>David is an active community member who goes by the handle <em>Paru-Sama</em> in our chat room. He is a budding game developer, and has some tips to pass along to those of you who are thinking of getting into the same field.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Play Video games.</strong> &#8211; You can&#8217;t go for a game developing career if you don&#8217;t have any idea what a game is or how the player plays it without experiencing it for your self. Game play and originality are the key factors of designing a game </li>
<li><strong>Learn Scripting and Calculus.</strong> &#8211; The video game developing career involves <strong>A LOT</strong> of math along with the complications of scripting/coding. C++ is a powerful programming language, but I don&#8217;t recommend it as your first. It is very difficult to learn so I recommend learning easier programing languages that are made for beginners, such as Visual Basic.</li>
<li><strong>Enroll in a Digital arts and Graphic Design or Multi Media course if you&#8217;re planning on being a Graphical Art Designer.</strong> &#8211; This is (In my opinion) the most enjoyable part of being a game developer as it employs your visual creativity and originality. 3Dmax and Maya are two of the tools used in this course. There is also a program called &#8220;zBrush&#8221; which is a 3d sculpting program. This uses your dexterity instead of your calculating abilities to build 3D models. There are also other graphical programs used in this course such as Photoshop from Adobe. </li>
<li><strong>Try out open source software developing kits.</strong> &#8211; There are game developers that allow the community to twinkle with their games by giving them tools to make maps, mods or whole games . One popular game developer that does this as a strategy is Valve. If you buy a game from them, they will allow you to download the &#8220;Source SDK.&#8221; This is a software developing kit based on their game engine (called &#8220;the source engine&#8221;) which will allow you to map for a game that they already created &#8211; or make a game of your own. </li>
<li><strong>Apply to be a video game beta tester.</strong> &#8211; This job is what the names says. You can get paid to play games in their early state as long as you give the developers some feedback about their games. This isn&#8217;t like you play a demo game and they pay you for it. It requires you to have a sharp eye and ears to spot some bugs and glitches. It also requires an ability to criticize the game. The feedback you give will help them improve the game&#8217;s gameplay. </li>
</ul>
<p>If you&#8217;re a game designer, what other tips do you have for the Geeks in our community who plan to enter this field?</p>

<p>Yes, I like to drive a big truck with the pedal to the metal. Eighteen wheels will be rolling until the break of dawn. I decided to try my hands at playing the Rig&#8217;n'Roll game on my sweet <a href="http://go.tagjag.com/eyefinity"><strong>ATI Eyefinity</strong></a> setup. Running in 5760&#215;1080 resolution is just&#8230; beautiful. I know I use that word a lot, but it seriously applies here. </p>
<p>Eyefinity isn&#8217;t just a multi-monitor setup. It&#8217;s considered to be a single large surface (SLS). In order to get the full experience for this game (and others) with the Eyefinity technology, I asked Logitech to send along the <a href="http://go.tagjag.com/g27"><strong>G27 Racing Wheel</strong></a>. This has a four-speed steering wheel, and flippers that allow me to change gears. There&#8217;s up to six gear settings on the gear shift. There are other controls that can be mapped to different views, in conjunction with your Eyefinity setup.</p>
<p>Yes, there are three screens hooked up to this computer. However, the important thing is that the operating system sees it as <strong>ONE</strong> screen. Eyefinity won&#8217;t only work with this particular game. It can make your experience with any game about a hundred times better. </p>
<p>I have to thank the team at AMD for hooking me up so that I can experience the beauty that is Eyefinity in my own home. Playing the game with perfect resolution across three screens this way is unlike anything I&#8217;ve ever done before. It&#8217;s nearly impossible to translate to you via a video or text. You just have to try it for yourself. </p>

<p><center><img src="http://s3.pirillo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Kinect.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 15px;"></center></p>
<p>Kinect is a system that does away with controllers entirely, instead using technology to scan players, detecting motions as subtle as a smile or a frown. This is impressive, but the slight delay between movements and onscreen effect is something to be concerned about. </p>
<p>Are you looking forward to Kinect&#8217;s launch? Do you think this is a device that could change gaming forever?</p>

<p><a href="http://www.mariomarathon.com"><strong>Mario Marathon</strong></a> is an event that takes place once a year to help raise money for <a href="http://www.childsplaycharity.org/"><strong>Child’s Play Charity</strong></a>. Child’s Play is an organization that sends books, toys and supplies to young patients of hospitals worldwide. Beginning June 25th 2010 at 11:00 Eastern, you can tune in to watch the guys scramble to save countless princesses. </p>
<p>The goal is to raise as much money as possible throughout the event for the charity. None of the donations go through the players &#8211; it all goes directly to Child’s Play. The more money raised, the longer these guys have to play Mario. There are over 800 levels across the nine Mario games chosen for the Mario Marathon 3. Your donations determine how many of those levels the team will complete. </p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.mariomarathon.com/"><img src="http://s3.pirillo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/MarioMarathon.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 15px;"></a></center></p>
<p>In Lafayette, Indiana, Brian, John and Chris take turns sleeping and playing the games throughout the weekend. They use a video capture card to show what’s on the TV game-wise, as well as a camera to view them in the living room. The live streaming event is hosted by Ustream.TV. While the event is going on, they will have several contests for the viewers to participate in for a chance at prizes. These events will be spread out during the event where you could win by <a href="http://twitter.com/mariomarathon"><strong>tweeting</strong></a>, skyping in, or just being a viewer.</p>
<p>If you want to help out with the event, promote it as much as possible. Tweet out the information, blog about it, and get your friends interested on Facebook. The more people who know, the more viewers and possible donations Child’s Play can receive. Remember, the more you donate, the more time they spend cracking down on the controller to entertain you and give back to the community.</p>
<p>When gamers give back it makes a difference!</p>

<p>I recently attended the 1C Company &#8220;nother Night in Moscow 2010&#8243;event. While there, I had the opportunity to talk with Shane from the <a href="http://www.amd.com"><strong>AMD team</strong></a>. We were standing in front of a huge <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS6YEPf4jYY"><strong>ATI Eyefinity</strong></a> multi-monitor display, giving us the perfect opportunity to introduce you to this technology if you&#8217;ve yet to witness what it can do. Playing games (such as those titles from the 1C Company) with a setup such as this is like nothing you&#8217;ve ever experienced before. </p>
<p>What&#8217;s interesting to me is that the 1C Company approached AMD and asked them to be a sponsor. They were <em>that</em> excited about this technology. At the time, none of their games were able to work with Eyefinity. However, they worked quickly to bring the titles up to speed. </p>
<p>The genius of Eyefinity is that you can connect it to monitor as long as the video card is Eyefinity enabled. You can set them up in three or six-panel configurations. You can choose to use it in either portrait or landscape mode. It&#8217;s customizable to fit your needs and lifestyle. Don&#8217;t think you&#8217;re limited to only playing games with this amazing multi-display technology. Imagine the amount of work you&#8217;ll be able to get done if you had this much seamless screen real estate.</p>
<p>I am a person who needs a multi-monitor setup due to the amount of things going on on my desktop at any given moment. I totally <em>get</em> the need for Eyefinity technology to increase productivity. Since I am not much of a gamer myself, it literally astounded me to see how the games spread out so perfectly across the monitors. There aren&#8217;t any &#8220;gaps&#8221; or breaks in what you&#8217;re seeing. With many titles, you&#8217;ll often even see more of a game than you ever possibly could without the usage of Eyefinity.</p>
