If it ain't broke, don't fix it.  That's usually the rule most video game companies abide by, though there are always those who set out to try something different.  Later this year (in the European market for now, but they're bound to go worldwide), both Sony and Nintendo will attempt to gain new buyers for their PSP and Wii systems by repackaging them for budget-pricing purposes.  While some see this an ideal opportunity for extra cash flow, we can't help but think that lowering their functionality to a bare minimum is the answer.

If you grew up gaming in the 80's like some of the Gamerlive.tv staff (you know, the old curmudgeons who constantly scream, "Get off my lawn!"), you might've remembered a game show called Starcade that used to air on TBS.  The video game-oriented show aired between 1982 and 1983, with Mark Richards and Geoff Edwards hosting episodes and guiding young players through high scoring challenges on arcade games.  The show continued to be a nostalgic hit over the years, and even managed to air on G4 for a couple of years.  Now, after spending a few years in hibernation, it's making a comeback...online, anyway.

You gotta love people who don't get the video game industry sometimes.  I'm talking about the parents who can't tell if Call of Duty is a bad game for their kids, or the Senators who feel that not having a bold-enough Mature rating label is a cardinal sin, or the celebrities who brush off video games as nothing more than a "fad".  Some of these perspectives are hilarious, and very few manage to really raise a question.  However, a recent inquiry on the Today Show left us wondering...can you be too old for video games?

 With L.A. Noire being the first video game ever to be featured at the Tribeca Film Festival this year, a lot of people were wondering if this is the time that video games could finally be accepted as art. Video games have come a long way since the days of the Atari 2800 with the gameplay, graphics, and storytelling much like how the film industry evolved from short films to being longer in length and having sound. Because of this, we have seen much more complex storylines and visual styles that have enhanced our experience. Though it may seem like the logical progression to become art, I actually believe it would be counterintuitive.
