Getting Tee’d Off with Golf Games

There haven’t been many golf games that have really tested the boundaries of what someone expects of a golf game. The most realistic offering is of course the Tiger Woods series golf game that has dominated the golfing genre way back since 1999.

But other than that, where is a competitor to EA’s offering, where is the Pro Evolution Soccer equivalent? Or to aim slightly higher, where is the Call of Duty to EA’s Battlefield series? There hasn’t been many golf games, perhaps due to a fading interest or an experience that is not easily replicable on the home console.

There may be many reasons as to why the popularity is so small compared to other sports games, but with each instalment of Tiger Woods, the sales are increased. This is going to be due to the better control, graphics and overall experience of the game capturing many more people that are either golf enthusiasts or have a fleeting interest in the game.

With a shift to a more accessible format but without falling short on the gameplay technicalities there is an opportunity for the major developers to make a fun golfing game that offers more than the one stroke at a time, turn taking bore-fest that golf games can feel like.

The Wii has obviously gone some way to making the whole experience more enjoyable, as you have much more of an interaction with the game itself.

Alternative Golfing Games

There have been other golfing games, none of real note to be able to truly compete on a gameplay level with Tiger woods, especially when you look at the cringe worthy Outlaw Golf and Everybody’s Golf (a game where golf is as good as the grammar “Everybody’s Golf”, really?!?).

On the horizon there are games that are choosing to challenge the traditional aspect of golfing games, none more so than “Ghetto Golf” a mixture of gun crime and golf that is perfect for those players that have always wanted to wield an Uzi with their 9 iron, ever since it was a weapon on GTA: San Andreas.

The golf game is pretty accurate of the activity itself in my opinion, but I do quite like a game of ‘skins’ around a virtual course, especially when there are bragging rights available. Just creating a game that is bit more fun for the party atmosphere. The Wii does do well at this but there are some gameplay elements that just make it annoying to play.

We need the Guitar Hero version of Golfing, Golf Hero, you heard it here first!

Andy is a golf enthusiast working for PureDrive Batteries, a leading retailer of 12v AGM Batteries, he is also particularly interest in video games and would like the industry to be a little more competitive with some more games.

Russian roulette game

  • Russian roulette game

I’ve never seen such a dangerous game being played in such a pleasant way like the one in the video bellow. Normally the Russian roulette game ends with the death of someone because you really need a lot of luck to escape this game alive. It’s obvious that this game is very dangerous and shouldn’t be played in real life no matter what situation. Still we’re going to make this article more based in fiction. This game is completely unadvisable for anyone!

I don’t know what the Russians were thinking when they invented this game but this game should be a good way to get rid of enemies and resolve disputes. I don’t agree with death may it be voluntary or involuntary to resolve disputes but by the success this game has in fiction I thought about making an informative article about the Russian roulette game..

 

Russian roulette game rules

The game is very simple and you only need a revolver and players, first you load the revolver with one bullet, spin the chamber, aim for your head, and pull the trigger. As you can see it’s very dangerous but it doesn’t stop where. The next step is to load the gun with two bullets and the follow the same procedures. The game continues with you loading more bullets in the revolver until there’s only one bullet left to fill the chamber. In every turn each player pulls the trigger. You lose when a shot is fired into the head, obviously you lose your life.

 

  • Russian roulette game variations

Another variation is using just one bullet where you get a 1/6 change of firing the bullet, this variation is very common and I’m sure that you’re used to see it in movies.

But there are other variances to the game, the game can be played with a woman for example, and while the woman strips the other players load the gun with more bullets and shoot. The Russian roulette strip game is very common. As we all know you can do strip games out of many games and this is just one more game. Still, to enlighten you I have a pretty interesting video where you can check how to play the game and how does the strip variation of the game works. Besides giving you more information about this game variation the video will also allow you to have fun while watching it because it’s very funny.

  • Conclusion

I must say that these games are completely unadvisable because they are very dangerous and potentially lethal. Still it’s very nice to see those games in fiction like movies or TV shows. I guess that before the expansion of TV and movies people did used to play this game to resolve conflicts but as we all know you can’t play with our lives no matter the purpose.

Reality is that we shouldn’t forget about old tactics to resolve conflicts also because we learn from our history.

When it comes to fiction this game will keep appearing in many movies and TV shows and I must admit that is quite exciting to watch.

This game will keep on awaking curiosity in many people around the world and I do hope that this article helps you know about the pros and cons that this game has and also to know what there’s to know so that you may be informed correctly when talking, or using this subject in a movie for example, the Russian roulette game.

Multiplayer games for mobiles

September 20th, 2009

Mobiles phones are getting better and better and with them the games that come along. I play games on mobiles all the time, my favorite one is the box stacker.

The thing is that mobile games are funny but wouldn’t they be much better if we could play in multiplayer mode? It is better and that’s why now there is a company that has loads of games for your mobile and all multiplayer. If you want a multiplayer iphone game platform all you have to do is follow the link.

Playing games is really good because it allow you to abstract from your daily life, I use them all the time when I got nothing to do like when I’m waiting for someone.

When I was a kid there were no mobiles so you can imagine how surprised I get when now I see little kids going around with the latest mobile phones were you can do almost everything with them. In fact the new mobiles with internet are really useful because they just allow you to do so many things.

I can’t wait to try this multiplayer platform for mobile because I imagine that’s going to be a lot of fun.

Games for girls

September 17th, 2009

Today I have an interesting question to all my readers. Why do most online games are only for boys and almost none to girls. I think that girls use the internet the same as boys but they don’t seem to have many things dedicated to them.

I bet that girls also like to play online and that’s why girl games are so needed in our world wide web.

It makes me happy that girls start getting the same offer from the www as boys. In fact it makes me wonder why there are more things available for men’s than for women’s. Maybe that’s an indicator that men regulate more the internet but I can’t say it for sure.

I checked the site of games for girls and I found it quite interesting and able to entertain a young girl for hours.

In my time we had to buy or exchange games with friends to be able to play them in my computer, now things are so much easier and you don’t have to pay nothing to do a bit of gamming in the internet.

I like to see things dedicated to the younger ones so that they develop a healthy taste for the internet so that it becomes easier for them to use in the future.
