Video Game Audio Software, Hardware and an Exploration into its Effect on the Player
Audio has played an important role in interactive entertainment for the majority of its existence. Unfortunately, early home consoles were completely silent as they lacked the processing power to handle both audio and visuals. The first game with audio, seen on american shores, was Taito’s “Gunfight” which used a microprocessor instead of hardwired circuits and a mono amp for gunshot noises. Taito later follows this innovation with the classic “Space Invaders”. By the early 70s, home computers were being released that plugged directly into the TV but still didn’t play sound. The late 70s saw the release of early mono audio machines, from which the tembre was improved until the early 90s, when stereo consoles began releasing. From here, There’s a more complex turn of events involving many releases of PC sound cards and iterations on similar consoles. At this point we see an interesting battle of software and hardware between the major manufacturers. This is where I will explore the specifics of audio solutions, both hardware and software. As well as this, I look forward to discussing the impact these solutions have on the audience. First I will consider the earliest uses of sound.

The Ghost’s Most Anticipated Games of March 2020
I may live in the great beyond, but that doesn’t mean I’m not sitting here anticipating new games to play. Haunting people is fun only for so long. Just ask Polterguy. Since I highly doubt we’ll ever see a sequel to Ghosthunter, I have to reserve my excitement for other titles.

5 Pokémon Regions We'd Love To See
I was almost six years old when Pokémon Yellow was released in Europe. It was my first Nintendo Gameboy Colour game, and one of only two games I owned for a couple of years. Later, I played Pokémon Crystal on the Gameboy Advance SP – and I was hooked. No matter what my academic grades said, if I were tested on Pokémon, I’d get 100% and extra credit. Many years later here I am, stroking my new Build-a-Bear Piplup, reliving the same frustration I get every time I imagine what a new Pokémon game could look like: Nintendo doesn’t accept ideas from outsiders. Logically I understand why; they’d get thousands of unsolicited ideas a day, and if they’re already working on an idea that then gets suggested they have to waste some money getting rid of someone who may feel entitled to a slice of the profits. Still, as a die-hard Pokémon fan I can’t help but feel disappointed that I’ll never get to share the ideas I have with the designers that I idolise. So, to get some of those ideas out of my head, I thought I’d share them with you.

Games of the Decade
Now we have reached the end of the 2010's I thought it would be a nice lighthearted distraction from all the dismal politics to try to decided what I would consider to be the best game of the decade, with best games from each year within that decade.

Why are online casinos more popular than land-based casinos?
Everything is going online in this technological age, whether it is shopping, booking travel destinations, looking for information or playing. It is a convenience, choice and reach that this medium provides that is making it accessible across domains. Though online casinos started nearly twenty-five years back, it took some time for the i-gaming industry to mature and evolve. But once it did, there has been no looking back. It is attracting more and more players with its safe and secure platforms, improved regulations and controls, a wide choice of games, and global accessibility.

Calling yourself a pool player is not justified unless you grab hold of the best cue accessories. It is not only about the designer case holding your Fiberglas cue. No, that’s not the only accessory to have. Neither are the different colourful pool table balls that should capture all the attention. There are lots more to consider, especially for players like you, for the love you have for the game.

5 LEGO Games That TT Games Should Make
Let me start by saying, this isn’t going to be a ‘we need sequels of XYZ’ article, or a list of old games that need remaking. Despite the fact I would love to see a DC Supervillains 2, and possibly a Marvel Supervillains or DC Superheroes game, and the fact that LEGO Lord of the Rings needs to be remade in a better way. I want to address the untapped movie/TV franchises that would make amazing LEGO games.
