Every person must admit they love to play a game here or there, especially these days with the amount of interaction game play has (internet, tilt sensing controllers). Donkey Gamer are independent people from Australia and UK who simply like to talk, write and play games.

About Donkey Gamer from their website

We are a bunch of people from Australia and the UK that love gaming, but are sick of the typical news stories; they are good don't get us wrong, but fail in pointing out the lighter side and the memories associated with gaming. While we often take the piss out of anything we can in games, we realise that a big chunk of our childhood memories are older games, and now that we are "old" we can also see another side.

It started as an idea to highlight areas of gaming that made us go "wtf!?". For example, why are there watermelons in a missile silo? Originally the project was called "Gamedero" but so not to limit us to just an Aussie audience, it was decided that Donkeygamer would be a more appropriate name.

The team is diverse, both in tastes and writing styles, which works well to bring a new level of satire to gaming websites. We hope to prove that 'non-gaming' aspects of gaming can also be worth talking about.

I've found out a fair bit of gaming info from this site, on one occasion I found out a bit too late (had already brought the game), so I hope you all enjoy what these guys have to offer. In the mean time I'm going to play a bit of Guitar Hero III with my fiance and mate Thuan.

EA Games will be launching The Sims Online as a free service under a new name "EA-Land" which will be in direct competition to Second Life.

The biggest difference between EA-Land and Second Life will be the monitoring and safety net of the game. So people can join and know that they are in safe hands of EA and not an individual like Second Life sometimes encounters.

EA is finally accepting that gaming should be targeting the Internet a lot more for functionality and multi-playing.

I have the game downloading at the moment on my fiance's computer (total of 1.5 gb) and will keep you posted about what I personally think about the game.

The game is still under development but still playable.

Big gaming companies like EA Games and id Technology are going to start supporting Apple simultaneously to PC. Which is very good news for Apple as gamers are moving away from Microsoft Windows to other operating systems to get better performance out of their games.

EA Games will be releasing Command & Conquer 3, Battlefield 2142, Need for Speed Carbon, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for Apple. EA Games gave a demo of the Harry Potter games during the WWDC07 conference, visuals/graphics were exceptional and I can see good potentials for Apple as a gaming platform.

EA Games will also be releasing all of their sporting games starting in August to support both Apple and PC, games such as Madden and Tiger Woods PGA Tour.
