  • July 2010 More Than Just a Game
    For more than 20 years, it has been embraced by its fans, honored by critics, and envied by its rivals. It has endured the test of time and has satisfied a demanding public like no other sports video game in history. It’s been recognized as ‘the game the players play,’ ‘the benchmark in sports video gaming,’ and ‘the number one selling football video game in history.’ It is Madden NFL. Since its inception, the Madden NFL franchise has reigned supreme as the preeminent sports title in the video game industry. Sales of more than 85 million units worldwide and $3 billion in lifetime revenue along with a countless number of gaming awards have helped make Madden NFL the most critically acclaimed sports title in history. From the original John Madden Football, released by Electronic Arts in 1989, to last season’s award-winning Madden NFL 10, the franchise has found a permanent home atop the video game pedestal. With record-breaking numbers that scream off the charts, there is little doubt about Madden NFL’s effect on the consumer—sports fans love it, hardcore football fans fawn over it, and NFL players deeply respect it. What started as a simple idea many years ago has profoundly affected today’s pop culture in many ways. On the field, the game dominates the virtual gridiron. Off the field, its popularity is growing larger by the year. ™ Backed by events like the EA SPORTS Madden Bowl, EA SPORTS™ takes a look at the EA SPORTS™ Madden Challenge, Maddenoliday, Maddenpalooza, Pigskin Pro-Am, and Madden Gras, past, present and future of the Madden NFL is no longer ‘just a game.’ The Madden NFL franchise.

  • Infinite Lives Canonvorming Bij Videogames
    Infinite Lives Canonvorming bij videogames Bjorn Schrijen (S4134281) Masterscriptie Letterkunde Onder begeleiding van prof. dr. Jos Joosten en dr. Martijn Stevens 2015 Abstract As with most other forms of culture, an implicit canon exists for video games. Though most players and video game scholars will have a general idea about which titles constitute this canon, there has been no academic research yet about the exact contents of it, or – more importantly – about the processes that lead to canonization. This knowledge could however be very interesting, as it would not only give insight in the way the game industry works, but possibly also in processes of canon formation for other media. This thesis therefore tries to gain insight in the way an implicit video game canon is formed. In order to do this, the game industry is observed from a theoretical framework based on the works of Pierre Bourdieu. Canonical games are defined as games that retain a high amount of both symbolic and economic capital over a long time, and the different parties within the game industry are seen as actors that can allocate these forms of capital to specific games. By systematically studying the different actors and existing writings about them, several hypotheses are drawn about the influence of each actor on canonization. These hypotheses are then tested using a dataset containing 77 games that can be considered canonical. This set was created by combining ten very diverse lists with the best 100 games ever made. As most of these lists are already the result of multiple people’s votes, and only the games are selected that appear in a majority of the lists, this dataset gives a fairly good impression of the implicit game canon.

  • Madden 2005 Pc Download Free Madden NFL 2004
    madden 2005 pc download free Madden NFL 2004. Yeah, it's a bit of a no need statement to say that the Madden series is a good, very playable, very enjoyable one, I mean the amount of games that were sold, by the time this edition came out was staggering, in the tens of millions category! However, I need to state this: Madden NFL Football 2004 is really, really good, better than the older ones by a stretch and I think for the mid to late 2000 is the game to go for. It is smooth to play, really tactical, and the bits that play out as minigames are very enjoyable and keep being enjoyable even after a good while. So, make sure you have the time to play it as it is really enticing, not at the least because of its really sharp and modern graphics, which also make way for some cinematic moments (which can be skipped, as, of course, they tend to get old after a while, hehe!) and other camera related enhancements. I don't know maybe some of the much later seasons are better, but for me Madden NFL Football is definitely the moment I thought that football games couldn't get any better!

  • Incorporating Video Games Into Physical Education
    Incorporating Video Games into Physical Education ELISABETH HAYES LAUREN SILBERMAN Between their popularity and their effi cient delivery of information, video games may help to enhance students’ motivation, understanding, and performance in sports. he growing prevalence of video gaming among young people, particularly males, is often considered to be a contributing factor in the rise of obesity and the shrinking levels of physical activity among youths. This popular belief has been contradicted by studies that have found no relationship Tbetween video game play and obesity or physical inactivity (Lager & Bremberg, 2005; Marshall, Biddle, Gorely, Cameron, & Murdey, 2004), or between physical fi tness and Internet-use time (Kerner, 2005). However, the unproven association between video gaming and limited physical activity, as well as the persistent stereotyping of video games as predominantly mindless, violent forms of entertainment, has prevented most physical education teachers (as well as the general public) from see- ing the potential of video gaming technologies as instructional tools. Notably, the most popular video games are not war games or fi ghting games, but sports games. Of the 20 top-selling video games in 2006, nine were sports-related games, including Madden NFL 2006, NBA Live 2006, and MVP Baseball 2006 (Entertainment Software Association [ESA], 2006). Such sports games are typically so realistic and complex that college-level and professional athletes use them as part of their ongoing off- the-fi eld training (Machosky, 2005; Rosewater, 2004). Furthermore, playing sports video games seems to be associated with participation in real-life athletic activities (Silberman, 2005a). This article will show how video gaming is an untapped resource for enhancing young people’s motivation and ability to participate in a wide range of sports and other movement-based activities.

R. China [email protected] November 2007 Abstract: * Our study extends the empirical literature on whether vertical restraints are anticompeti- tive. We focus on exclusive contracting in platform markets, which feature indirect net- work effects and thus are susceptible to applications barriers to entry. Theory suggests that exclusive contracts in vertical relationships between the platform provider and soft- ware supplier can heighten the entry barriers. We test these theories in the home video game market. We measure the impact on hardware demand of the indirect network ef- fects from software. We find that although network effects are present, the marginal ex- clusive game contributes virtually nothing to console demand. Thus, allowing exclusive vertical contracts in platform markets need not lead to a market structure dominated by one system protected by a hedge of complementary software.

What research does exist focuses on the creative process of video game development; however the business side can longer be neglected, with individual game development project budgets in excess of US $100 million in some cases. Business management decisions are made by publishers and developers based on their tacit knowledge of what has worked in the past according to their experience; however, left unverified there is a risk that this tacit knowledge may not reflect rapidly changing market realities. Managerial economics is concerned with the optimization of the decision-making process given limited resources, and such a rational decision-making process is required if publishers and developers want to ensure that the knowledge their organizations contain best reflects the reality of the wider industry. Through this research, I will rely on a managerial economics perspective and use knowledge discovery in database (KDD) techniques to answer the following
