July 2, 2010 / coklat posted in Gaming / No Comments

The individuals of the past two decades hooked to video games are very acquainted with Mario and Nintendo. Of all the video games created in the 1980s, the Mario games were the most popular.  You will certainly agree with me when I say that Mario games were the best video games in those days! This somewhat hard to play game with a casual concept was more than addicting! The first Mario game was the Donkey Kong devised for the Atari game. Mario, with his cute looks and smart actions was the heartthrob of all the children back in 1980s and 90s.

With the help of Mario, Nintendo was always capable to win over problems.

With progression in technology, producers of Mario games are recreating the adventures of Mario and Nintendo. This has resulted in you catching up with all your childhood escapades. The Mario games are now accessible on the internet. Interestingly, the makers are now coming up with new adventures of Mario for the existing generation of kids.

Computer Games in the Classroom? What’s the World Coming To!

October 27, 2009 / coklat posted in Computer Games / No Comments

Computers are here to stay. They are in nearly every classroom and nearly every grade school child is already comfortable using one. Computers bring cutting edge technology and current information to students. Their contribution can be extended to include entertaining learning in the form of computer games.

Why are computer games being used in the classroom? Are they simply there to fill time in place of board games or outdoor playing, or do they serve an educational purpose? While games are often used to fill those times when students need something entertaining to do, they do serve a very important purpose.

Children enjoy using the computer. In fact, long before most kids have thought about school they have been on a computer. Video games, both computerized and on the television, are also extremely popular with children. Children will play computer games, so why not use them to reinforce educational material while they play?

Computer games in the classroom do not replace the teacher’s role. They are used for practice and drill in most situations. While some subjects, such as typing, are taught almost entirely using computer software, the computer is used in other subjects for practice. Take spelling as an example. When students need to practice their spelling words, a simple computer game like hangman could be used to help them practice in a fun, relaxed manner.

Educational software can be used in the home as well as the school. You know that your kids love to play on the computer. Imagine giving them a game to play that is fun while at the same time works to strengthen their math skills. Both you and your children’s teacher will approve of that type of screen time!

Educational computer games can also help strengthen the thinking skills of students. Games that ask students to solve mysteries are a great way to develop critical thinking skills in a fun, supportive way. These types of games are the ones that kids can play and learn without realizing that they are learning something!

When using computer games in the classroom, it is important to monitor what your students are doing. For example, you may find that a student always plays the basic math game that he knows he can win. He doesn’t really need to practice in spelling, so you might encourage him to embark on a history mystery game instead. Whenever possible, computer games should be used to work on skills that a student needs to strengthen.

Like all things in education, computer games require a balanced approach. Most children would be willing to play games all day long. Of course, this isn’t a good way to teach students. On the other hand, never allowing a student to play on the computer could be harming him. He will be missing out on valuable practice time and a fun way to approach learning. The balance should allow students to play, while at the same time providing traditional instruction throughout the school day.

So the next time you walk into your child’s school and see her on the computer, don’t worry. She is being entertained, challenged and learning at the same time! Computer games play a vital role in a well-balanced classroom, so take some time to thank your teacher for allowing your kids some time to play!

Medal of Honor: Airborne (ps3): Experiencing the World War

September 10, 2009 / coklat posted in Medal of Honor / No Comments

Invented in 1999, the Medal of Honor-Airborne is centered around the different aspects of the World War II. It is a shooter computer game, developed by EA Los Angeles, and was released worldwide in September 2007. Its PS III version is slated to get released in November 2007. Part of the Medal of Honor series, this one is the first from the series to focus on paratrooper activities.

The players are made to step in the shoes of Travis Boyd, who is a private in the airborne infantry. You get to be part of their first experimental deployments in the World War II. As the word ‘Airborne’ signifies, contrary to the other FPS games, here you don’t just have to walk a path but can drop down from the sky as well. A lot of freedom of action is given to the player in this version of the game. Most single player FPS games lack in this department, whereas this one gives the whole mission a freeform feeling. Most of the objectives can be performed in any order that you wish.

The game is being played in the European theater and the varied missions include insertions into Germany, Italy, Northern France and Netherlands. Unlike the earlier version which followed a linear game play style, this one gives you the complete freedom to start the game anywhere in the map. In consonance with the name, the beginning of the mission is marked with jumping out of the plane and parachuting down to the ground.

The players are free to decide where in the battlefield they would like to be dropped, and that flagged space is where the players will find their allies and supplies. Technically speaking, the game uses a modified Unreal 3 Engine, which was specifically designed for DirectX 9, PlayStation, 10 PCs and Xbox 360. Get this for your PlayStation and get a hand-on experience of the World War II.
