UBISOFT ® UNSHEATHES RED STEEL ® 2 Sword-and-Gun Action Fighting Title to Return at Holiday 2009 Paris, FRANCE – APRIL 29, 2009 – Today Ubisoft® announced Red Steel®2, exclusively on Wii™ system from Nintendo. Red Steel remains one of the most successful Wii titles and the only brand created specifically for the launch of the platform. Red Steel 2 is being developed by Ubisoft Paris and will be available for the 2009 holiday season. Red Steel 2 returns with an artistic style and flair created just for Wii. Set in a desert- bound, high-tech metropolis, Red Steel 2 is a revolution in the action-fighting genre, taking full advantage of the capabilities of the Wii MotionPlus™ accessory. Your movements are faithfully replicated on-screen, putting the emphasis on swinging, shooting and fun! With the ability of the Wii MotionPlus to sense the strength of a swing, you will literally be able to make an impact on your adversaries through power and precision. “Red Steel was a unique opportunity for Ubisoft to work in tandem with Nintendo to create a title exclusively for the launch of the Wii console," said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing US at Ubisoft. "Red Steel 2 is another milestone for the company as it is the first Ubisoft title with full Wii MotionPlus integration.” Just as Red Steel broke ground as the only third-party brand created for the launch of the Wii, Red Steel 2 will be the must-have game of Holiday 2009 for those who wish to stretch their own capacities and fully experience a game that was built from the ground up to take advantage of the Wii MotionPlus. More details on Red Steel 2 will be revealed in Official Nintendo Magazine US’s May issue. For more information on Red Steel 2, please visit www.redsteel2.com.

COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen
COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen Citation Bogost, Ian. Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism. Cambridge, MA: MIT, 2006. Keywords: Mythical and scientific modes of thought (bricoleur vs. engineer), bricolage, cyber texts, ergodic literature, Unit operations. Games: Zork I. Argument & Perspective Ian Bogost’s “unit operations” that he mentions in the title is a method of analyzing and explaining not only video games, but work of any medium where works should be seen “as a configurative system, an arrangement of discrete, interlocking units of expressive meaning.” (Bogost x) Similarly, in this chapter, he more specifically argues that as opposed to seeing video games as hard pieces of technology to be poked and prodded within criticism, they should be seen in a more abstract manner. He states that “instead of focusing on how games work, I suggest that we turn to what they do— how they inform, change, or otherwise participate in human activity…” (Bogost 53) This comparative video game criticism is not about invalidating more concrete observances of video games, such as how they work, but weaving them into a more intuitive discussion that explores the true nature of video games. II. Ideas Unit Operations: Like I mentioned in the first section, this is a different way of approaching mediums such as poetry, literature, or videogames where works are a system of many parts rather than an overarching, singular, structured piece. Engineer vs. Bricoleur metaphor: Bogost uses this metaphor to compare the fundamentalist view of video game critique to his proposed view, saying that the “bricoleur is a skillful handy-man, a jack-of-all-trades who uses convenient implements and ad hoc strategies to achieve his ends.” Whereas the engineer is a “scientific thinker who strives to construct holistic, totalizing systems from the top down…” (Bogost 49) One being more abstract and the other set and defined.

[email protected] / [email protected] Abstract this performance that is monitored and interpreted by the While playing a video game, the player-machine interaction is not game system, registering very specific data that is solely characterised by constraints determined by which sensors subordinated to the diverse kinds of input devices that are and actuators are embedded in both parties, but also by how their in current use. actions are transcoded. This paper is focused on that transcoding, By operating those input devices the player interacts with on understanding the nuances found in the articulation between the game world. In some games, for the player to be able to the player's and the system's actions, that enable a communication feedback loop to be established through acts of gameplay. This act in the game world, she needs to control an actor, an communication process is established in two directions: 1) player agent that serves as her proxy. This proxy is her actions directed at the system and, 2) system actions aimed at the representation in the game world. It is not necessarily her player. For each of these we propose four modes of transcoding representation in the story of the game. The player’s proxy that portray how the player becomes increasingly embodied in the is the game element she directly controls, and with which system, up to the moment when the player's representation in the she puts her actions into effect.

She opened doors for me that I did not know even existed. Ruth has mentored me for the last eight years, and for this I am honored and grateful. I would also like to thank my dissertation committee, Dr. Ruth Malone (chair), Dr. Kit Chesla and Dr. Roberta Rehm. Their gentle and careful guidance has seen me safely through one of the most challenging journeys of my life.

An Overview Study of Game Engines
Faizi Noor Ahmad Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN : 2248-9622, Vol. 3, Issue 5, Sep-Oct 2013, pp.1673-1693 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS An Overview Study of Game Engines Faizi Noor Ahmad Student at Department of Computer Science, ACNCEMS (Mahamaya Technical University), Aligarh-202002, U.P., India ABSTRACT We live in a world where people always try to find a way to escape the bitter realities of hubbub life. This escapism gives rise to indulgences. Products of such indulgence are the video games people play. Back in the past the term ―game engine‖ did not exist. Back then, video games were considered by most adults to be nothing more than toys, and the software that made them tick was highly specialized to both the game and the hardware on which it ran. Today, video game industry is a multi-billion-dollar industry rivaling even the Hollywood. The software that drives these three dimensional worlds- the game engines-have become fully reusable software development kits. In this paper, I discuss the specifications of some of the top contenders in video game engines employed in the market today. I also try to compare up to some extent these engines and take a look at the games in which they are used. Keywords – engines comparison, engines overview, engines specification, video games, video game engines I. INTRODUCTION 1.1.2 Artists Back in the past the term ―game engine‖ did The artists produce all of the visual and audio not exist. Back then, video games were considered by content in the game, and the quality of their work can most adults to be nothing more than toys, and the literally make or break a game.
