There’s always a spot for televising the things people do, like sports and animal shows, house building and home-wrecking, etc. But video games in mainstream television? There are still people who believe video games to be synonymous with the root of all homicidal rage, but a little controversy is good for publicity, right? Besides, video games influencing violent outbursts tend to be exceptions an not norms.
As multiplayer takes center stage in the gaming world, it is no surprise that part of that stage is occupied by the notion of forcing players to act as a coherent unit. Whether it is the simple black-and-white play of Counterstrike or the more nuanced roles found in Team Fortress 2 or any MMO, it is clear that team-based multiplayer is going to be an integral part of the future of gaming. Of course, the more nuance

No matter what we do on this site, it seems that we’re fighting a losing battle.
Like the heroic last stand of the Spartans in 300, we here at Kill All Campers have been waging a never-ending war against the hordes of cheaters in FPS games. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we are increasingly outnumbered and outcussed. You see, it seems that everyday, more and more low lifes and pre-teens are findin
Long before Counterstrike made it big, the genre of FPS games was first dominated by Wolfenstein. Actually the first release of this game dates back to the early 1980s, but it was only in the early 1990s when it began to have a format which is very similar to the FPS games we know today. Back then, only racing games were presented in the first person point of view. It was this game which changed the way that shoote
The FPS genre has come a long way since it first came to life with id Software and their classics, Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. It has come so far, in fact, that it has not only become a major game genre, but has developed more than a few quirks. These include advanced enough physics simulations to allow for some very, very unusual ways to play the game. It isn’t all that unusual anymore for a modern FPS to have
Every gamer wants to have a good gaming rig, something to play games on without having to worry about lag or latency problems. Every hardcore gamer on the other hand, wants a rig that is top of the line, providing perfect performance and a complete – or nearly complete – absence of the millisecond delays that regular keyboards and mice have. Delays that are unnoticeable to most others, but can make the differen
Every now and then, a game comes along that totally blows your mind. Back in the 90′s, there was the iconic Doom and Castle Wolfenstein. Then came Half Life and Gordon Freeman’s crowbar crusade against marauding aliens. This was followed by Electronic Art’s wildly successful Battlefield 1942, and all the war-era games that followed it.
Fast forward a decade later, and the world of Gordon Freeman r
It’s unavoidable that in every game, there are campers. These usually fall into two groups: first, the lazy slobs hoping for a quick kill by hiding out and waiting for unsuspecting players to come through to them, and nervous newbies who don’t want to look bad come scoring time, by making sure they have more kills compared to deaths.
Of course, either reason doesn’t excuse the hated practice of ca
Experienced gamers know that playing with novice players is one of the most frustrating aspects of playing an online multiplayer game. When an experienced gamer tries to play with a novice, there is always a clash of sorts. The novice will have his own home grown style of play, while the experienced gamer will most likely have a proven style of game play that has allowed him to win numerous times over his gaming ca
