40 years of Atari Goodness

40 years ago today, Atari was born. Forever it will be known as the father of modern gaming. Atari had its high, then its low, but it’s still around even though it no longer makes consoles, it still makes games and celebrates its past ones.

I’m going to focus on my experience with the Atari 2600, my very first gaming console. It was pasted down to me by my grandmother and my mother played it with her sisters and brother when she was young. Also at the time the one dollar store was selling new 2600 games. In the pic above are a section of the games I have.  I loved q*bert, pole position, joust, crystal castles, ms.pac-man, jr pac-man (which to me is the best pac-man game ever), and Solaris. Also other2600 games I liked but do not have was Mario bros and endure, which I completed. My Atari 2600 no longer works, which is sad because I would play these games over and over again. They are not like today’s games, where it takes 6hrs and you beat it, these games make you work for it, and the only goal was to get to the next level and survive

Why no celebrate today by finding a flash version of an old Atari game and play it. Get a feeling for what gaming was like. Here’s to another 40 years Atari.

My picks for the best of E3 2012 Day 1

E3 2012 is in full swing, many great things were introduced into the world yesterday, like xbox smartglass and sony's wonderbook. Here are my picks for the best of Monday, starting with the game that stole the show, ubisoft's watch_dogs:




 My next pick is Playstaion-All starts Battle Royale




next pick is gear of war judgement:




the next pick is the last of us




my next pick is south park: the stick of truth:



And finally my last pick is Halo 4



Watch_Dogs is so far my pick for best surprise and game at this years E3 so far. Not impressed with Microsoft's entertainment offers, I'm passing on IE on xbox. And wonderbook does not appeal to me at all. Looking forward to Nintendo press conference today.

There will be more games not mention here, like a slew of more Wii U launch games. Also many more Kinect games (possibly Kinect sports 3, yea go ahead and beat the dead horse), and a Halo 4 subscription based program like call of duty elite (it’s all the rage now). As for new consoles outside of Wii U, even though they say “NO NEW CONSOLES THIS E3” I say it’s 40/60 they get a mention, no showing of the console or a video representation of its graphics, but won’t be surprised a PS4 or a Xbox What-you- ma-call it pops up.
