Video Game Science!!!

Have you ever wondered about the science of Video Games?! Well I will provide my masters degree level knowledge on how Video Games affect us!

1. Did you know? Video games can become an addiction

 Studies have shown that hardcore gamers are addicted! Games like Grand Theft Auto are so interactive and interesting that they stimulate the same parts of the brain that get people hooked on drugs. Yes, the rush of running that guy over is just like the real thing but you're not going to jail!

I'm willing to look the other way if Eroges are legalized in the USA. ^.^


2. Did you know? Video games can cure people

Studies have shown that people who have had surgery feel much less pain and recover faster when they play video games. Fast paced games that make people think are the panacea. Games like tetris and DDR (obviously using the controller) can get people's minds off their own problems, even so much that that serious pain doesn't feel so bad... Video games even shorten recovery times for people who play them. Now the only problem is sneaking that DS past the nurse O.o






3. Did you know? Video games can make you smarter

I know I put the picture for need for speed up but that is only one type of game that can improve reaction time, hand-eye coordination, and increase working memory. That's right scientist's have found that memory and coordination increase when playing fast paced games. Any game like Need for Speed, Smash bro's, GTA, or tetris can increase those things...

Yes, video games will improve your reaction time in a real driver's seat. Now you just have to stop being nervious *.*

So next time your momma wants you to stop playing the video games... scroll past number one and show her the data I've found for you!!! Remember scroll past number one O_O

Darn Good Video Games, Part 1

Hiya it's RPGHero bringing you my newest post series, "Darn Good Video Games"

In this series, I'll be posting about really really good video games. And like my name implies, they'll be mostly RPGs. There might be a general multi-player game mixed in sometimes though.

Today's Darn Good Video Game is:

Persona 4

Persona is a video game series that started out as a straightforward ghost/monster/demon killing RPG. And over the installments, they have added more and more story and interactive capabilities. The latest installment being Persona 4.

The plot is intense!! 

Well you're a kid that just moved to a rural town in Japan. All of a sudden a horrifying murder occurred.
As you're getting used to your new life you meet friends. They peer pressure you into trying an urban legend where you watch tv on a rainy night at midnight. Before you know it (because you and friends think there's a clue to the murders) you're going on adventures and beating monsters in a parallel universe behind the TV. 

There's also alot to do in real life though. You can hang out with people and build relationships...

This game is loosely based on a two things. Mythology and Jungian psychology. How is a game based on psychology??? Well throughout the game you are collecting and using "Persona" to fight monsters. The persona, being a facade used to overcome life's difficulties... both in the game and in Jung's theory. And even in the game they will make many references to Jung. However the personas are actually mythological creatures, which is a creative (AND POSSIBLY FAKE) addition to Jung's theory.

The music is pretty good, the battle music and opening music is unique, it has vocals!!!

The graphics are alright... There are no Hi-def cutscenes but for a PS2 game the constant gameplay graphics are pretty good.

If you like RPG's, being the most popular guy in school, fighting ghosts, solving murders, oracles, and urban legends... Then head down to the local video game store and pick this game up!!!

I give it a 4/5 ^^
