Innovation seems recession-proof Consumer Electronics Show has stuff worth seeing by PETER SVENSSON The Associated Press The recession figures to tone down the flashiness of this week’s International Consumer Electronics Show, but the lineup of innovative products likely will measure up to those of past years. The CES product list still looks intriguing partly because startups haven’t yet been hit as hard by this downturn as they were when the Internet boom collapsed in 2000. And bigger companies haven’t yet had time to adjust to con- sumers’ belt-tightening. But most of all, competition in consumer electronics is still fierce, and innovation counts. Name-brand manufacturers still need to differentiate themselves by introducing features AP photo that keep them ahead of value-price brands.

Under the agreement, PlatinumGames will develop three ground-breaking new SEGA titles -- MADWORLD™, Infinite Line™ and Bayonetta™ – covering a variety of game genres with innovative design concepts that explore the depths of today’s best-selling platforms.

  • Week 2: Game Theory // History & Origins // Industry Stats
    NMED 3300(A) // Theory and Aesthetics of Digital Games Friday Genre Discussions / Play Sessions Schedule, Spring 2016 Mondays and Wednesdays will consist of lectures. Fridays will be broken into two sessions. The first will take place in W866 where we will discuss particular genres and look at select examples. The second session will take place in W560 and will consist of hands-on gameplay (1 hour) of the games covered earlier in class. Some Rules for W560 Usage: 1. Please be considerate of others in the lab and those working in adjacent offices/classrooms by keeping noise to a minimum, 2. Please note that food and drink are not allowed in W560, except water if it is contained in a non-spillable container (with a screw-top or sealable cap) 3. Only students with official access are allowed in these labs (you cannot bring friends into the lab, sorry), 4. Please be gentle with equipment, consoles, and peripherals as a lot of the equipment is David’s personal property and much of the equipment is old and getting more difficult (if not impossible) to replace. 5. Finally, do not leave discs in consoles and make sure consoles and televisions are turned off when you are finished and that the area where you were working is clean and tidy. Notes on Gameplay Sessions in W560: Please keep the volume of the monitors and verbalizations to a minimum. Have a look at each of the games listed for that week’s gameplay sessions by consulting reviews/criticism, gameplay video, screenshots. As many games are released on multiple platforms and are often emulated, make sure you are viewing information for the correct version (platform, year).

    Review: Nintendo's 'Star Fox Zero' crashes and burns 22 April 2016, by By Lou Kesten In theory, you can use the big screen to navigate around three-dimensional space and use the small screen to target and fire upon enemies. My problem is that I have just one set of eyes, so every time I look down at my controller I tend to slam into some random piece of space junk. If you adjust the settings so you don't need the small screen, you lose the accuracy.

  • NMC Adopts Hawk Owl As Mascot
    March 14, 2013 Vol. XXIX No. 13 one copy NORTHWESTERN MICHIGAN COLLEGE We hew to the line; let the chips fall where they may. NMC adopts Hawk Owl as mascot J ANDREW REED f IPress Staff Writer 'Hags Ferris has the Bulldogs, Michigan Tech has the Huskies, and now Northwestern Michigan College has the Hawk Owls. That’s right: The board of Northwestern Michigan College has decided to adopt the Hawk Owl as its school mascot. The hawk owl is a non-nocturnal, non-migratory bird that resides in most of Canada but can often be spotted in Northern Michigan during the fall season, searching for food (like a student at NMC searches for knowledge). Owls are also known to be a symbol of wisdom, a quality attributed to most colleges. Although there is a men’s club soccer team and a few independent sports teams at NMC, no athletic teams have begun using the mascot yet. This isn’t the first time the college has had a nickname. In B the 1960s, when the college had a sports program, NMC used JB the nickname “Tomahawks.” This nickname was dropped when the program was shut down in 1976, and was criticized C for its controversial aspects regarding the Native American community.
