Go Joe!: A UCC Roundup

A wuzzup!!! from UCreateChange.com(08/06/2009) Hey all, One upon a time, GI Joe and Transformers struck a pose like Madonna in Vogue. Snake Eyes would strut about like a cowboy, and Bumblebee did push-ups before Megatron who sat cross-legged. It was all very complicated. But there are only so many ways to contort, twist, turn and bang on these garish bits of plastic. That's why I'm so taken with the Wii, Guitar Hero and MMOGs (Massively Multi-player Online Games for you N00bs :P). These games (or toys) let us live out our imagination and share what's in our head with others. Just last week, the line between reality and imagination was blurred with avant-garde motion controllers (see Who needs controllers?), and world-creating games such as Little Big Planet. Who knows what's next for games? Leave your thoughts in the post! See you soon at UCreateChange.com! Your Friendly Change Champ, E. Ps: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opens on 24 June! Don't miss it!

Don't Miss... Who needs controllers? Everyone's upping the ante on gaming controllers! Microsoft announced that they'll be making a motion controller for their XBox 360 that captures your every movement in the game. Woah... talk about reality in games!

We might never need them but they're a step in the right direction (i.e. towards making Terminator a reality).& Yanko's top 10 robot [slaves] >> Sweet Water Not all artificial things are bad. A couple of bright sparks spiked water with Saccharin to see where it flowed to track how water pollution occurred. Apparently it’s because Saccharin can be easily recovered from water.

Hopefully, it won't malfunction and give us an Uzumaki washing machine scene! Would you put your pet in one? >> Violence in games Violence in a game is entirely unrelated to whether it keeps gamers going back for more. It's how it fits together that makes the difference in gamers' minds and not "how should I disembowl thee tonight?"

I hope it doesn't mean growing hairy, insectoid legs. Walk on water >>
