Tips:

♦Size- If a snack requires two hands to eat, you may as well be at the dinner table. If can’t keep at least one hand on the joystick you are stuffed.

♦Messiness- If a snack oozes some form of hot sticky liquid, it’s a definite no-go. Having once spilled honey on a controller, I can tell you it takes weeks to get it off.

♦Filling- Your snack needs to be something that fills you up, otherwise it’s not doing the job. If you eat 10 tons of snacks but are still hungry, again, you may as well sit down for a proper meal.

While playing your favorite games can seem like a harmless way to spend your free time, this behavior can sometimes spiral into a serious video game addiction.

Final Fantasy is arguably one of the longest and largest gaming franchises in existence, it’s been across four generations of consoles and is about to emerge into a third. It’s been ported across consoles over time and been shrunk down into handheld chunks of fun on the DS and PSP, it’s spawned new series of games that range from pseudo hack ‘n’ slash to Real Time Strategies (FF Tactics) and even been through 2 incarnations on film. It even survived the merger of the two Japanese RPG giants Squaresoft and Einx in 2003.

Dissidia: Final Fantasy is the latest in Square-Einxs epic and takes a different approach into the series as a swish and sleek fighting game.

Chavez didn’t bash all games though.  He feels that video games are all right if they’re educational and pose no threat to socie

There's a little art-house movie out there that has a few fans. You may have heard of it. There was never any question that Avatar was going to be big, but I'll admit honest surprise by how big it actually is. Pretty much everyone out there seems to have seen it, even people who normally don't have much interest in genre movies. Even more shockingly, Avatar looks like it has a chance of dethroningTitanic as the number one movie of all time.

At this year's CES, 3D televisions made a big push for mainstream attention, and will start showing up in homes this year. If people enamored by Avatar's 3D theatrical experience bring home 3D television sets, that will lead to 3D video gam
