great article on why people play the opposite sex so often in games, when there's the option. PluggedIn: Gamers bend gender for a winning edge By Lisa Baertlein LOS ANGELES, July 28 (Reuters) - When men appear as buxom, scantily clad females in video games like "World of Warcraft," it is more about winning than finding an outlet for a real-world affinity for gender bending. "It has nothing to do with exploration of sexual identity," said Brenda Brathwaite, a game developer who delved into the subject for her book "Sex in Video Games," set for release this fall. While there are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender-friendly groups that operate within massively multiplaye…

This list is pretty good!

Who else plays this game?

Aah... I remember my childhood when I used to play video games on that... I still have it, and I think that it's a very underrated machine (and forgotten, above all). The games were fun and extremely playable... I also used to write simple programs in Basic (computer language). What's also very cool about C64 is that it has a pretty complex sound processor (of course, when you think of technology in the 80's). I will never get rid of my 'Commie'.

Ok...I've owned the Nintendo DS since it's launch and just recieved the PSP over the weekend and I have to say that the PSP is the coolest handheld device ever created. If I had to decide on the better handheld, I'd have to give the edge to the PSP, because of its versatility. Don't get me wrong, I love Nintendo's DS and it has the most potential between the two, but the lack of quality games that have produced is really hurting it's image in the eyes of gamers. So, what does everyone else think??
