		An influential game must establish a paradigm that reforms entire genres or sets a precedent that is so advanced that future game developers are forced to follow it.
		When considering games that have been released within the last few years, it is important to separate those that were a novelty or only influenced a small sector of the video games industry from those that truly revolutionized and influenced all games.
		It brought video games into the home for the first time and also established video games as a viable form of entertainment.

	List of major commercial failures in computer and video gaming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For the sake of scope, a commercial failure for a video game hardware platform is generally defined as a system that either fails to become adopted by a significant portion of the gaming market place, or fails to win significant mindshare of the target audience.
		The game was not well received by critics and gamers alike when it was released; several features had been cut significantly from the initial feature list that had been promoted; and the game had significant bugs that made the unpatched version of the game impossible to complete.
		Microsoft hyped the game as much as they could; and even pushed for the game to be released in time for Christmas (the most lucrative period for toys and video games alike).

	Video Gaming, Education and Digital Learning Technologies: Relevance and Opportunities
		Conclusions as to the effectiveness of games for educational purposes differ; one particular review of relevant research indicated that mathematics was a subject where the use of games was usually superior to traditional classroom instruction [Effects].
		Games consoles are not yet a common fixture in academic and public libraries, though a few are starting to appear as an addition to existing entertainment media such as CDs, videos and the fiction (book) section [Brighton].
		Games are appearing on a number of electronic devices, in part to make devices more commercially attractive to games players, and in part to increase the number of functions offered by the device.

	12 days of video gaming - 2004 Year in Review - MSNBC.com
		Games got hip to politics and politics got hip to gaming. "The Sims 2" became an interactive adventure in parenting. "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" taught us that it's OK to put down the controller and dance to the soundtrack.
		Meanwhile, 2004 was a big year for Electronic Arts. They formed their own music label, started putting their titles on Xbox Live and signed a 5-year exclusive deal with the NFL effectively ending competition (and low prices) from Sega.
		The data from an AOL survey conducted in January also found that word and puzzle gamers were the genres of choice among the 3,613 respondents; not exactly the sexiest genre in video gaming, but a reminder that interactive entertainment extends far beyond the latest dwarf epic.

	mip's scan: Video Gaming
		I've written on a few occasions about how gaming for children can be quite beneficial either by educating them on a topic or perhaps to take their minds off of traumatic events like upcoming surgery.
		I encourage the children to think of other ideas/paradigms and reasons for video games as they learn the foundation of video game development and build games of their own.
		To me this is an excellent example of how video game technology can be used to as a powerful learning tool with children.

	Video game foot soldier smackdown! :: DESTRUCTOID :: Hardcore video game blog
		Considering "guards" have been present in roughly every single action game since 1992, ninety eight percent of the time their purpose boils down to standing in one spot, waiting until they see you, and wasting an entire clip on the area behind you before dying unenthusiastically.
		Games use aliens when they want a lot of gore but no trouble from Hillary or Jack, so you're almost always guaranteed a pleasurably gooey death when you come up against an alien life form.
		Considering there are about as many WWII games as there were casualties in it, Nazis have become as familiar a video game enemy as ninjas, demons, and robots combined.
