Gamespot Video Games

It's kind of tough to write about a game that hasn't been talked about much, but I'm willing to. Gamespot is a whole lot better than you might think, from they're smooth polygon graphics to its amazing soundtrack, to its GREAT two-player mode!

Keep in mind that the Gamespot review isn't about cheating or anything, and it doesn't give any hints on the one-player mode, either, because everybody knows that the one-player mode is for sissies. However, if you want help on conquering your "friend", then laughing at them, here's where to look. From descriptions of the vehicles, to the strategy bit, this is the ultimate handbook to Gamespot. Check it out and tell me if it helps!

Gamespot Overview

In Gamespot you're given twelve vehicles to defeat the enemy with, four different types: the armored support vehicle, the helicopter, the tank, and the humvee. The object of the game is to basically wreak havoc on the enemy forces until you've found their flag building (it's a special type of building). When you do, you can blow it up so that your jeep can get in later. Make sure that you've cleared a path without any guns firing on you. Send in your humvee and grab the flag by running into it, then dash back to your base. So, basically, Gamespot is Capture The Flag played with heavy-duty military equipment. However, you've also got to worry about your opponent, 'cause they're trying to do the same thing to you.

Gamespot Strategies

The "Waiting Game" is much better than the "Arcade" strategy, but then, I'm more of a wait-then-pummel-kinda guy when it comes to Gamespot myself. The "Waiting Game" is basically about slowly crushing your opponent by wasting all of their vehicles (except their humvees, maybe), and then, when they're weak or if they don't even have their vehicles anymore, you go in casually, knock out all of their defenses, send in the jeep, and steal the flag, taking as much time as you need. My "friend", Graedus, uses the "Arcade" method, and I beat him pretty much every time. Especially on that map, "The Nutcracker". Fun, fun, fun! For those of you who would like to do "Arcade", then go ahead. Both methods of attack are good. Guess it just depends on what kind of person you are.

You can find loads of free game downloads, reviews, demos, players and more at the premier Gamespot website. Gamespot covers SNES, Genesis, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, GBA, NES games and more.

Dance Dance Revolution to Promote Active Living and Fight Obesity

I'm thinking about bringing Dance Dance Revolution into my Intermediate classroom.

Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) is a video game by Konami that was released in the arcades of Japan in 1998 and is now available across several home entertainment systems, including Playstation, Wii, and Xbox.

Players stand on a dance platform with arrows pointing up, down, left, and right. By listening to the music and watching a computer screen, players need to tap the corresponding arrows on the beat.

There are different levels of difficulty, so game play can range from simple to challenging. On the Nintendo Wii, Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party includes the use of the wii remote. Up to 4 players have to move both their hands and feet to the beat.

Overall, DDR is a high-interest, low-skill activity that appeals to the video-game generation, and as a teacher who continually looks for innovative ways to achieve curriculum expectations through technology, DDR is in my sights.

In April 2007, the NY Times reported on how some Physical Education classes are using Dance Dance Revolution to get Grade 7 students moving.

* A projected 1,500 schools in West Virgina are expected to be using the game by the end of the decade.

* "At least 10 states" in the US are using DDR as a "regular part of their physical education curriculum" to fight obesity.

* DDR appeals to school boards and educators as a non-competitive form of movement (compared to traditional sports.)

You could use DDR as an extra-curriculuar club, to meet daily physical activity (DPA) requirements, or as part of a phys-ed program.

* Most students will be watching the screen and practicing moving to the beat while they wait for their turn on the mats.

* Depending on how much you're willing to spend, you could have up to 4 people actually playing on the videogame system.

* You can set the difficulty level for each player independently, which means that an expert and a beginner could be playing at the same time.
