It's one of my favorite features of the game, it allows kids to play without a "lot" of gore. There is still some gore in this minigame but it is done in a humorous way... someone splats into a wall you see 2 seconds of blood and a big "Fatality" comes up in red letters. The rest of the game is MK at it's finest, of course it will still upset the antiviolence crowd but that is a given... The Mortal Kombat series started the antiviolence groups! The game itself though is rock solid. Online play for the bawl drinking multiplayers and great singleplayer experience in "Konquest" adventure mode for you Single passionate gamers. Let's not forget create a fighter which lets you take a fighter and design it from the ground up. You unlock more options as you play Konquest mode by either finding new objects or getting enough MK cash to buy new stuff. I made a hot ninja chick because I'd rather spend all day looking at a hot girl than looking at some scarey guy!]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/12/motor-kombat/feed/ 0 When are you a gamer? http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/12/when-are-you-a-gamer/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=when-are-you-a-gamer http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/12/when-are-you-a-gamer/#comments Sun, 12 Nov 2006 20:40:49 +0000 TheGoodEvil http://www.tigerdirectblog.com/2006/11/12/when-are-you-a-gamer/ http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/12/when-are-you-a-gamer/feed/ 0 Real Business in a Virtual World http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/12/real-business-in-a-virtual-world/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=real-business-in-a-virtual-world http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/12/real-business-in-a-virtual-world/#comments Sun, 12 Nov 2006 20:39:47 +0000 Tom Cellie http://www.tigerdirectblog.com/2006/11/12/real-business-in-a-virtual-world/ In 1997 I predicted it, dreamed about it and anticipated the day when virtual reality would be a real-time experience. Oh it was already happening then but not on a mainstream level. In 2006 and beyond virtual reality is um… a reality. I am not talking about video games I am talking about real human interaction with other real humans in a virtual environment. (Sit back boys and girls…I feel this post is going to be long) Before I can make my point I need to give you some back story. My first experience interacting with real people in a virtual world was on a game server in my office at Netsales Inc (now defunct) Yep it was always Sales (my department) against the Techs and boy did I think my handle was cool “KillerSalesman” Halflife was the game and we were so happy that we had access to a fast pipe (in 1999 cable Internet was still not common though growing by leaps and bounds) and working for a technology company had its perks. T1 access, a fast computer and loads of Mountain Dew!]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/12/real-business-in-a-virtual-world/feed/ 0 Review of the Samsung 205BW 20″ Widescreen LCD Monitor http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/12/review-of-the-samsung-205bw-20-widescreen-lcd-monitor/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=review-of-the-samsung-205bw-20-widescreen-lcd-monitor http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/12/review-of-the-samsung-205bw-20-widescreen-lcd-monitor/#comments Sun, 12 Nov 2006 13:52:41 +0000 jmyers0341 http://www.tigerdirectblog.com/2006/11/13/review-of-the-samsung-205bw-20-widescreen-lcd-monitor/ Samsung SyncMaster 205BW 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor. I recently had about 20 of these monitors purchased for my offices, and thought I would write a review. I haven't had much time playing with them, but have had ample time setting them up, installing, and adjusting them. While my purchase was work related, this is an awesome monitor for anyone looking to upgrade to a larger monitor, adding a second monitor or creating a multiple monitor setup. Especially for only $239.00 (w/ rebates) right now at TigerDirect, you can't go wrong!]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/12/review-of-the-samsung-205bw-20-widescreen-lcd-monitor/feed/ 0 Nintendo WII….
