With The Secret World (http://www.thesecretworld.com/) launching its beta and this announcement today: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/05/03/june-cover-revealed-the-elder-scrolls-online.aspx the incentive to take the plunge into MMOs has never been so strong! WHY is it happening at the same time I’m starting my reading list for my comprehensive exams?!?!?  WHY???

…And We’re Back!

Hello All!

Sorry for the unintentional hiatus. I got bogged down with marking, work and a trip to New York!  …And now we’re back.

I believe my comprehensive exam reading list may be complete. When it is finalized, I might post the videogames portion of the list here. Stay tuned!

I was thinking of posting a link to an interesting article but thought better of it in light of the rumours that a new Xbox may be unveiled at E3.  Do you think now is a good time for Microsoft to introduce a new console? Should they?

I’d love to know what you think!  Who knows, you’re comment may make it into my research somewhere!

An Inspiring List! – What’s a Boy Studying Performance in Video Games To Do?

I have a feeling a handful of these are going to become important material for pushing the envelope of performance in games.  Personally, Mass Effect 3 and Bioshock Infinity are the two I’m vibrating over!
