However, the ways that the hacking is done is more complex than just creating a homebrew program or using ‘mod’. When it comes to hacking, there are two ways to hack a console. A person can either do a software attack or a physical attack (Eric DeBusschere). Software attacks are when a person takes advantage of a hole in the console or a third party, that manufactured games with a security problem. Until 2011, the main exploit used for the Xbox 360 was from a direct memory issue exposed by…

PS3 vs. PS4: A New Gaming Device What are the differences between PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 and which is better? Sony is slowly adding PS2 and PS3 games for purchase to play on PS4. I believe that PS3 is better because of its backwards compatibility. The main reason I think PS3 is better is because the more reliable and free backward compatibility, unlike the PS4 in which a purchase is necessary. On top of purchasing, only select games are chosen to be made downloadable.…

If it is not stopped soon enough, it can leave problems that are almost impossible to deal with. Setting limits, taking and hiding the consoles, making the child earn them, talking to the child about it, or even giving the games and consoles away are all ways that can limit and end video game addiction. If it is not taken care of soon enough, the person can suffer from not only health risks, but social and financial risks. If someone is…

fun filled day at kindergarten ended with massive excitement for me. Mum and dad took me back to the boot of our car and opening up what made my jaw drop which would be a big part of my life even still to this day seeing my first Xbox video game console. My childhood revolved around this piece of technology I spent every second I could and making my mum and dad spend their last dollar to get me games to keep me more and more interested into playing, my first ever game I played was a game…

My Timeline Story I remember the exact date of this event. It all started when my mom said I was addicted to video games. I said I wasn’t and to prove it I set a goal for myself. I said I would not play video games for 6 months. It was December 23, 2016-June 2, 2017. My goal was to the last day of school June 2. To my surprise I did it I went 6 months without video games. It was like 7 months, I remember the exact date of this event. It all started when my mom said i was addicted to video games…

The reading Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter, by Tom Bissel addresses change within video games and how these games have changed and how they affect the author. Video games have gone through a major change within recent times and have evolved from simple button mashing games with very uncomplicated themes and narrative to something much more complex. Modern technology has allowed video games to vastly improve storytelling and visuals by allowing much more content to be stored in medium;…

Metal Gear Survive replaces stealth with survival in what is the first Metal Gear game without the involvement of director Hideo Kojima. Although Survive is the first entry in the Metal Gear series without Kojima’s influence, it isn’t the first spin-off. Released only five years ago on the PS3, XBox 360 and PC; Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance took the Metal Gear series in a completely different direction. Replacing stealth with hack and slash action mayhem, surprisingly, Rising worked. The…

Still, Hitman punches out a new adventure every two to three years, yet it doesn’t carry the weight of excitement that currently surrounds franchises like Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear, or Call of Duty. It’s understandable when a resoundingly popular game series, like Assassins Creed or Uncharted, enters into film production – but for the…
