Who would’ve thought that the simple Nintendo Wii remote can make breakthroughs in various research fields? That’s what geek and researcher Johnny Lee proved.
Lee, doing research at the Carnegie Mellon University at Pittsburg, fiddled with the $40 device and has transformed it into an amazing whiteboard marker (writing on the projector!), a touchscreen device and a 3D viewer.
Seeing is believing. Check out the video below…
Gamer Cribs: Girard Garcia
April 8th, 2008 3 Comments
When we go on coffee breaks here at Level Up, we always end up talking about gaming. We compare notes on the best setups, how to avoid 3RLs in Xbox, etc. etc.
This made me think; wouldn’t it be cool to feature and show my readers some of the actual gaming cribs of actual Pinoy gamers? Sweet! ‘Eureka blogging-moment’.
And as debut for “Gamer Cribs” (I thought of that name myself. Wapak!), I talked to Girard Garcia. Girard works for our creative department as senior copywriter and editor. He’s the guy that cranks up all those words in our flyers, websites and press releases. Girard or “Gi” is also an avid console gamer and he’ll show us his setup below.

February 5th, 2008 1 Comment
It’s hands down.
There’s no stopping the phenomenon that is the Nintendo Wii
MSNBC said that “more video games were sold in the U.S. in 2007 than in any other year, with retail sales hitting $17.94 billion”.
This attests to the fact that video games, both hardware and software are really into the mainstream. But there’s still room for growth even as demand continues to increase and developers and publishers scramble to get more out of the pie this year.

Realistic Wii Guns

Ever since I held my first videogame gun zapper – that was in the SNES NES game, Duck Hunt, I always thought they designed those things to be “toy-like” for a reason. Well, one reason could be that it was aimed, I meant “targeted” at kids at that time.
Guess what? The kids who used to play those games have grown up. While the “stock” gun zappers you’re likely to find with consoles still look like it came out of Toy Kingdom or Toys R Us, these bunch of new Wii Guns won’t dare to be called toys.
Check out the guns below spotted by CNET at the CES 2008 show.
These guns are from CTA Digital. They also produce other funky gaming accessories and other cool products.

It always warms my heart to hear tales about good Samaritans.
And that’s exactly what an 11-year-old boy in the U.S. of A. did.
Tyler Strasser hosted a toy drive recently, where everyone who donated got a raffle ticket to compete in a Nintendo Wii bowling competition. The winner will get to take home the Wii.
The toy drive was organized to help the needy. Little Tyler has been collecting stuff and giving them to those in need since he was three.

Alrighty then!
The Chinese are at it again with a shameless clone. It’s the Vii
This time it’s a clone of the Nintendo Wii. They even cloned the controller. According to Gaming Today:
“They’ve even cloned the Wii-mote rather well, relatively speaking of course, giving it the Wii-esque pastel color of choice. Engadget’s China affiliate recently conducted hands-on experience with the Vii and even provide side by side comparisons with its genetic parent. “
