Random Facts about Gaming!

Doom is the first game to use the term 'deathmatch'.

After work, the makers of the game used to watch John Romero play against other people, and how emotion-filled all his deadly actions were made the term.

Also, the difficulty in Doom 'Ultra-Violence' is based off of a part in the book "A Clockwork Orange".

Capt. Price is NOT dead.

No, he is, I really have no idea how the fuck so many people did NOT see him die, you watch him die for fuck sake.
HE IS DEAD.

ACTUALLY he is already confirmed as being in Modern Warfare 2. You didn't see him die in COD4, he was being resuscitated, and his fate was ultimately left to the imagination of players.

But yeah, he's not dead.

They always name one of the characters Price,even the WWII ones. It's not the same guy (Probably).

2 Games.Brütal Legend and Psychonauts.Brütal Legend might not be out yet but it's still finished.

Wait that isnt relevent to your post..... I geuss I can add a fact...

dead rising has an achievement for killing 56,565 zombies (Around this number).
Left 4 dead has an achievement for killing 56,566 zombies
[Prototype] has an achievement for killing 56,567 infected
I assume left 4 dead 2 and dead rising 2 will continue the pattern.

Nintendo started out in the late 1889 as a hanafuda card company.

Sonic The Hedgehog is also a gene on chromosome 7 of the human genome until recently when the science community decided to ditch all of its 'comedy' names for genes. (bastards, taking the fun out of science)

The Little Sisters from BioShock started as tiny mole-like creatures who scuttled around Rapture collecting Adam. Early concept art also shows them as retro '50s-style robots, too. I would feel no remorse for killing them.

Final Fantasy VII was originally designed for the Nintendo 64, but Square cancelled the project and moved to the PSone because of the lack of space in the console's game cartridges. FFVII would've filled 13 cartridges.

Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokemon, got the idea for the worldwide Game Boy phenomenon after collecting caterpillars as a child and watching them change into butterflies.

Starcraft is the first computer game to have ever physically made it into space. It was sent aboard Shuttle mission STS-96 on May 27, 1999 by Mission Specialist Daniel T. Barry , who is also a Starcraft fan.

Why do people always assume I' in a fit of rage when I use caps >.<.

Because that's what most people use caps for on the internet.

Corroder from Clock Tower 3 is actually based on a killer from the early-mid 1900's (if I remember right) that really did kidnap people and kill them by dumping them in acid.

The first Shadow Hearts was supposed to be on PS1, but since the PS2 was already out and PS1 was pretty much forgotten, they decided to take some extra time and release it on PS2 instead.

Erm...that's all I can think of right now. xD

There was originally a part in Final Fantasy seven where Aeris was resurrected, but it was cut from the game.
