You see, there is a passion in the world that unites over 5,000,000 of us. Everyone, of every race, of every religion, all of us, United by the vast world that is games.
No matter who you are, No matter where you're from and whatever your life is like, Video Games are an outlet for everyone, be you at the tender age of 10 bashing every CoD (Call Of Duty) game ever made or older, there is always one place you can turn to where you aren't judged, where you aren't discriminated, a place where explosions and epic chases are all but normal, and that, my friends, is the wonderful world of gaming.
After a bad day at the office, what could be better than sitting down, grabbing a pad, and pummeling rounds of ammo into undead nazi's. Or if that's not your cup of tea, you could drift your favorite car around some huge turn, or be a treasure hunter, or a Bandicoot or a blue hedgehog, THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.
Gaming is forever expanding, new ideas forever coming out. New characters becoming iconic and huge, from the blue blur that is sonic, to the mustached pipe fixer known as Mario. In this world of gaming, you can do whatever you like. You can be a Rock God wielding a plastic guitar, A solider on the Battlefield sprinting to cover or even a wolf that is actually a god that can command a paintbrush. Any idea can become a reality with the right tools.
Ever since I can remember, I've been playing games. It all started with the megadrive, and what started out as a minor pass time, slowly but surely became a massive part of my life, but not only mine, many a peoples. You see, gaming is a place you can make new friends (and enemies), whether your playing for a little fun or playing for the win, there will always be something that can appeal to someone. Be it a small indie game or a huge blockbuster that millions have awaited in anticipation.
And this my friends, is only the start, the industry is forever growing, expanding, with new pieces of technology such as the PS4 just around the corner, my mind can't help but wonder what we could possibly do next. So I'd like to thank you all, for your dedication, for your passion and for making the industry what it is today.
One of the biggest industry's on the planet.
MonsterVine: "Marvel Cosmic Invasion is shaping up to be a must-play co-op beat-em-up with gorgeous comic-style pixel art and a deep love for Marvel lore."
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "It's rather fitting, then, that American Arcadia ranks among the most binge-able adventures of the year. Even if what it has to say about surveillance and modern-day entertainment treads familiar ground, a final act shift provides a fresh examination that its precursors didn't capture. Beyond any commentary or prescience of its inspirations, American Arcadia would still work as it properly captures an aesthetic, tonal, and mechanical consistency between its two eras and gameplay templates. Paired alongside insightful social commentary, though, and Out of the Blue succeeds in blending a compelling narrative and game."
MonsterVine: "SEGA's Summer Game Fest 2025 lineup features Demon Slayer: Hinokami Chronicles 2, Shinobi: Act of Vengeance, and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds—three hands-on demos that span anime action, retro beat-’em-ups, and customizable kart racing."
Great article, a lot of thought has gone into this.
