nhl 13 comes out in September

     
As the NHL Playoffs enter the Conference Finals, EA figured they'd take some time to nab the attention of those fans of one of the 26 teams that are presently setting up tee times by releasing a new video for their upcoming NHL 13. Of course, for those of you fortunate enough to still be rooting your team on, EA would like your eyes, too, but it's understandable if your attention is elsewhere.


The trailer teases that new improvements are coming to the latest installment in the hockey video game franchise, and how it somehow relates to the skill stick that was introduced in NHL 07. It's also the first in the 'Road to NHL 13' video series

video game fitness can`t substitue actual workouts


     Since the launch of the Xbox Kinect and Nintendo Wii Balance Board, gamers have become excited and found a reason to stay active while playing. However, this is no excuse to stop going to the gym and engage into traditional physical activity.Motion detection game consoles are a big hit in the gaming industry. Dancing like Michael Jackson and training like your favorite UFC fighter can be a great time and does some physical activity. But, it doesn’t replace the experience a person gets at the gym.
     Playing games like “Just Dance” are a lot of fun, especially with friends at parties. The way the controls make the games easy to begin playing without too much experience.Realistically, fun is all it’s good for. Nothing more.With just exercising at home, there is only so much someone can do. Most people don’t have all the equipment of a full gym at home.
     There is not much space to move around. The Kinect has a much wider range of motion than the Wii Balance Board does. Kinect still has limitations. Gamers still have to worry about not hitting furniture or knocking things over if they really get into the game.“It’s really more of a first-step to fitness,” said Kevin Reyes, Games Room employee at Sacramento State. “It’s more for play rather than fitness. It’s trying to get more people to be slightly active while they enjoy spare time rather than sitting in front of the screen.”

A hunger games video game?

 As the hunger games get more popular people are thinking of making a video game fro it. However many think this would be a bad idea.It’s not that it would almost certainly require players to kill children, either, though that’s a thorny issue. Rather, it’s something about the nature of the book itself that makes a video game the wrong way in which to tell the story. The book is about a distant future in which a capitol rules over 12 districts. there were 13 but ever district rebelled and lost. The capitol destroyed number 13 in which the hunger games were born. Click here to learn more.

spring break

Over my amazing spring break I did many things. For example I tried out for a AAA hocket team calles the rockets. I made it the first night. I also played a lot of baseball due to the fact that it was opening day Saturday. I had the best time ever. I also skated at open hockey a couple of times just to scrimmage and joke around with my friends. Sadly I had to miss my little brothers first hockey game do to baseball. We lost 25-12 against VFW Hawks. Then we won on Monday 9-6. I was happy with the second game because I 2 RBI singles. Also on Saturday We had a parade from CVS to the little league field.
