gaming

Hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone has any experience or guidance on studying esports at university or college? Does anyone have any views on the types of course available and which university would be considered the best for this type of study? Many thanks Richard Montgomery

Welcome everyone! After ten years, the previous admin has stepped aside and transferred the Video Game Forums site over to me. I know this site hasn't seen much activity in recent times, but there is a treasure trove of good information on here, especially from the Classic Video Game Consoles...

Having followed Nintendo's line of handhelds since the Original GAMEBOY, I honestly believe that the 3DS, or DS, line is coming to an end. I feel it is at an odd crossroad. I think that Nintendo will keep some form of entry level of gaming, just not sure what that would be. It has always been...

NEC, Goldstar / Panasonic, Phillips, Atari, Sega, SNK, etc. once took daring steps into what is now ruled by Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. Atari pioneered the video game revolution and made great strides in the genre until their business practices cost them the talent that ended up starting...

Technology and software are in two totally different places right now. I've been contemplating this every since 3d's rise and fall. At least 50 years we've flirted with 3d technology and its always been the technology's fault until this past effort. Expensive battery powered glasses aside, we...

It is the dawn of a new year and the light here is very dim, all but gone out. One can only come to the conclusion that the one who took this forum over had intentions of letting it die. No way for it to regenerate with new gamers. That part is locked. The old crowd has moved on to whatever...

Is there anything new coming out anyone is excited for? There's a lot of ambitious stuff in the works that'll potentially change how we game for the next several cycles of consoles... if it works. With that being said I'm not as excited about a game as I am the emergence of virtual reality...

I have no idea where the time went. How in the world did today get to be December the 31st!!!? :o Looking back at my surprises in gaming..... would have to be me picking up a PS Vita and getting interested in a PS3 enough to purchase one. That just doesn't sound right if you are a retro gamer...

I've recently decided I want to add one of these to the game collection. I seem to recall they could be hooked up to a television via composite video cables... other than I also remember this wannabe s-video cable that went to the old commodore monitors. I'm betting I'll never find that chroma...

I dusted off an old AtGames game console today. My wife picked this little jewel up for me several years ago at a local Walgreens. Got me in some good old Sega gaming today. It felt soooo good just playing around with some old friends like Bio Hazard Battle, and several other Genesis shmups...

Hey guys, I know not many of you will take much notice to this but I felt for those few who will I felt obligated to say goodbye. This site has brought lots of amazing memory's and iv met some awesome people as well whoem I call friends (which is all of you) :) iv been here through the highs and...

Since we're at a point that is bridging the seventh and eight generations of game consoles, which one(s) are EGA members still using? I was a little late to the party buying the PS3, though I got it before the PS4 was released. I was really late buying my 360 and PSP, but am still getting some...

Has anyone here built using an apu? I've done all kinds of crazy builds but non ever for any specific budget so I've yet to delve into the apu market. With the emergence of htpc and for builds requiring a small footprint it seems an apu does a good job. I realize anything better than I3 will...

Ever since my last tube television blew up a few years ago, my old machines just haven't been getting the love they once were. Don't get me wrong, I've tried, but when paired with any television in my house everything prior to a console generation ago absolutely looks like crap. I can't play...

I know the opinion on the internet is generally negative, but what do you all here think? Personally, I hope to see a better variety of games than just sports and Call of Duty. :P But seriously, I am slightly interested but it's really going to depend on the games. Most of the franchises I...

Has anyone seen the video where NVIDIA runs BF3 on an iPad using Tegra 5? It might be the coolest thing I've ever seen, in a couple of years mobile gaming could be right up there with consoles and PC gaming.

I had never heard of Journey 'til the X-play 2012 year end awards show. Apparently, it was one of the most highly acclaimed titles released for the PS3. Its soundtrack has been nominated for awards too. I downloaded the demo last night and played about 15 or 20 minutes. I am not sure it was...

Ok, so I know these boards have no activity these days, but I bet everyone can post at least one or two things on their wish list or share something they're excited about for Christmas this year! While I already have more games than I have time to play these days, Far Cry 3 has caught my...

Picked mine up today. :) I will have to say that this is one nostalgic issue. Those who are avid fans will thumb through this last issue and cry like crazy. (If you are one, better pick up an extra) If you was going to keep one issue of NP this would be the one. You get a poster with a stamp...

Post it up! How is everyone doing?? how has life been? I've been promoted again at work... (a couple months ago)... so moving on up I guess. Life is still pretty busy for me. I'll give you 2 guesses... mine has been busy. :lol However, I am loooking to do some end of the year changes...
