By Leigh Alexander. It may be the Summer of Gaming here at Kotaku, but for many Brooklyn neighborhoods, the season’s long, hot days mean just one thing: weeks of non-stop band shows. No, not Rock Band — real bands. Is there common ground?
I have a thing for playing outside. There I said it. That’s why I created a half-dozen video-game inspired games for kids to play outdoors.
Get up off your arse. Move, move, move. It’s summertime! No need to go outside. Video games can you become active and maybe even lose weight. This is hardly new, but have we reached saturation?
Growing up meant summers spent outside for me. Long days locked outside with no hope of returning home until the sun fell and my parents called us for dinner.
We took a look yesterday at the games based on Summer’s biggest blockbuster movies. Today, let’s switch things up, and look at the games inspired by the movies.
Summer means sun. Weeks off school, days off work, Coronas under a palm tree as a sea breeze washes over you. But it also means it’s time for Hollywood’s big shebang: the summer blockbusters.
July is the time for snooty summer reading lists (not ours) and cocktail party chatter about reading them. The time when certain magazines and certain readers just lord their oh-so-fulfilling summer over your shiftless vacation.
