	Mobile Game Developer - Sony Ericsson reveals Java platform strategy, making developers' lives easier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		New games and Java-enabled handsets are released across the globe on a daily basis (there will be a total of about 2 billion mobile phone users globally within the next year or so and according to Ovum there are 450 million Java-enabled handsets today).
		But however great these market opportunities seem, mobile game developers are faced with one major challenge: how to get their games to work on hundreds of different devices, for different mobile operators and different languages.
		Most developers start by programming their game for one or two key phones on the market, based on either volume considerations or the supported key-technology features.

	The Game of Their Lives Movie Page
		Due to the importance of the new "The Game of Their Lives" movie to the Baudo family, I have decided to create a page dedicated to it.
		From Gerrardbutler.net, "William Ross is the new composer onboard The Game of Their Lives, David Anspaugh's film that was originally to have been scored by the late Jerry Goldsmith.
		Production of The Game of Their Lives has been in limbo for quite some time, the fact that a new composer has been hired to score the film surely indicates that post-production is indeed progressing." Thanks to Tom Stremlau for forwarding this information.

	Game Mechanics: Lives/Healing: Leviathan, Adventures in the World Sea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Each character begins play with 1d4+2 “lives.” These lives represent your chances to cheat death and recover from wounds that would otherwise be fatal.
		The player never knows how many “lives” they have to begin with, the DM keeps track of that, but should keep track of how many they have “lost.” You can, and probably will, die, but this mechanic allows for a more cinematic campaign in which the PCs are willing to risk a little more.
		Those who survived the Cataclysm were a hardy bunch, and they have passed on their hardiness to their descendants.

	Unreleased NES Games
		The basic game is similar to the Super NES version, but the maps are different and many of the characters behave differently or have different abilities than those in the Super NES game.
		Their game, subtitled 'The Grape Escape,' will be an adventure through an old warehouse to find the kidnapped California Raisins.
		The game is unusual in its requirement that the driver/player shift the gears (there are no less than six gears in the drag racing part of the game) and in the use of two unique graphic elements: the Dynamic Trailing window and the MB Helicam.

	The Gateway \| Tuesday, 25 November, 2003 \| Volume XCIII Issue 22
		Though the weather gods sent us their worst, the atmosphere was anything but cold.
		I was astounded by the idiocy of people wearing jeans, running shoes, those cheapo mitts where the fingers are covered by a flap, and the streaker who wore only a shirt and one sock.
		Sure, half the guys are fat and noticeably out of shape, but the smiles on their faces as they looked to the crowd of almost 60 000 could be seen from my seat in row 27.

	Special Screening of the The Game of Their Lives in Oneonta

		Several were offered the opportunity to play overseas, but almost all refused, preferring the stability of their regular jobs in the States.

	Value
		So, for instance, in economic theory value is often defined as "willingness to pay," despite the fact that few people actually assent to such a definition, or even exhibit such an understanding of value in their lives.
		Game theorists often define value in terms of desire, again contrary to ordinary value practice.
		A revisionist sense of value will try to take value practice as a starting point and revise the conception where this is rationally defensible to do.

	Freedom Force Review for PC on GamePro.com
		Also, while the game's in-game cinemas are nice, there's no real "acting" going on; the characters just stand there as the dialogue appears at the top of the screen.
		Thankfully, the game stands as a great tactical RPG in its own right, and if you love Kirby and Lee, you'll be filled with delight and wonder as you play through Freedom Force.
		This game is every young man's dream: to be a superhero, tossing cars, swinging lightposts like baseball bats, and fighting evil wherever it appears.

	The Cornell Daily Sun - Video Game Legacy Lives On (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Frankly, video games are a part of every person"s life at this school, whether you play them or have a nerd friend named Mike who plays them.
		The game also encouraged smashing on your controller, like the ape that you are, to force your entire team to safety blitz lone running backs and then continue to pile on afterwards.
		This game paved the way for future nonsense basketball games like NBA Street and disappointing follow-ups to the original NBA Jam, like NBA Jam 2001, 2002, and NBA Ballers, a travesty which features on its cover a picture of Stephon Marbury (who appears to be suffering from either Down"s Syndrome or acromegaly).

	Midtown Madness 2 Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		We get to hear Larry King ask a man how it was that a shareware game caused the deaths of more than a dozen innocents.
		And last, but certainly not least, we get to hear how we are idiots because we missed a really hot girl's party over Allegiance rocking your world (hey, she already has a boyfriend and her friends aren't that hot.).
		Instead we simply look for the next game that is so involved it inspires even more asinine questions from the general media (along with asinine answers from a certain Lt. Col.).

	The Game of Their Lives Movie Review - The Game of Their Lives Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		It says everything about American movies' interest in the game when ''Fever Pitch," Nick Hornby's soccer-fan memoir, is made over as the story of a stark-raving Red Sox nut.
		In the meantime, ''The Game of Their Lives," a perfectly reverent feel-good portrait, is sneaking into the Fresh Pond multiplex today.
		What the cast members lack in sharpened skill they more than make up for in raw gusto and athletic scrappiness (most of the actors have logged a lot of soccer in their pasts).

		Tagline: The match against the British in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, on June 19, 1950 was "the game of their lives".
		Much like the movie "Victory," "The Game of Their Lives" is more of an inspirational piece with soccer as the backdrop as opposed to soccer being a precursor of the plot.
		The director was leery of the film from the beginning and admitted that he doubted a movie tied to soccer would be successful.

		As usual, the Rams were at their best when Faulk got touches, especially in the running game, but Eagles running back Duce Staley was almost non-existent, picking up 9 yards on as many carries.
		With a gaggle of savvy on-field veterans to go with their bright young coach, the Raiders are one of the smartest teams when games get close in the clutch.
		He took every snap for the Cowboys in their tough 10-6 loss to highly favored Tampa Bay, but put up one of the ugliest quarterback stat lines ever: 9-for-19, 34 yards, two interceptions.

		ANAHEIM, Calif. — Game 1 of the 98th World Series confirmed what those in the know have said all week.
		Saturday's game went to the Giants, 4-3, in front of 44,603 mostly red-clad fans (using those highly annoying cheer sticks) at Edison Field.
		And as clutch as they've been late in the game during the playoffs (hence the cute and obnoxious rally monkey), the Angels were hitless in the final three innings.

	'The Game of Their Lives': An Empty Cup (washingtonpost.com)
		Unlike the subjects it's chronicling, "The Game of Their Lives" is flat-footed, uninspired and disjointed from start to finish, a glaring disservice to the men who played the game.
		By the way, the U.S. team was eliminated from the 1950 World Cup after losing to Chile, a sobering historical fact the filmmakers fail to mention.
		The Game of Their Lives (101 minutes, at area theaters) is rated PG for mild language and thematic elements.

		The Illini, who came into last night's game tied with the NCAA single-season record for victories (37-1), had a good vote of confidence after defeating Louisville on Saturday.
		Illinois had a great tournament, as did North Carolina, and they almost pulled off a repeat of their win over the University of Arizona earlier in the tournament, where they overcame a 15-point deficit to beat the Wildcats.

		The game really came out at a 7.9, but since there were no decimals, I had to go with the 7.

		Each biker has their own voice sample set from which the game will tap into from time to time for your character to react to to things like dying, killing, taking a lot of damage, etc. Your bike also has its own voice which will spout less humorous (but more informative) things at you.
		The sounds though do their part and are not too distracting.
		Pile onto that robots who are also very twitchy and thus hard to hit, and you're headed for a headache of a game.

		'The Game of Their Lives' opens Friday in L.A., Washington and Indianapolis.
		As anyone who's seen Leonardo DiCaprio flail around in The Basketball Diaries knows, laughable game action is the kiss of death for a sports movie, and I'm happy to say GOTL's soccer scenes are spot-on, even more realistic than those in 1981's Victory (which merely had Pelé and Argentinian legend Ossie Ardiles in the cast).
		Likewise, GOTL captures the period perfectly, reproducing the 1950s-era game down to the smallest details, from the heavy cotton uniforms to the lace-up soccer balls to the maddeningly uncomfortable cleats the players wore.
