★"Its Not JUST Graphics.....That Make A Good Video Game"★@notjustgraphics #GamersUnite #RetroGaming

We are always looking around the various cool blogs and websites set up by video game junkies like us!

Every once in a while we come across a kindred spirit who really 'gets' video games like we 'get' video games.

We Are Glad To Say That This is One Such occasion.......

It's Not Just Graphics embraces old and new video games and treats games as one loving family of Video Games which means the site does not alienate one generation of console from another just because one is a little older than the other.

As we have said before, Video Games Are Meant To Be Fun.....whether that's fun on an ageing console with a copy of Super Mario Bros 3 or whether it's on a shiney new PS4 with FIFA 14......you just gotta share the love of video games........AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT Tom Hockin's COOL Site Does.... 

You will see from Tom's Twitter Feed there are all sorts of opinions on offer from RetroGaming to the current generation of video games and hardware.

That's exactly what we like to see in Video Games Journalism, a balanced view instead of the boring Fan Boy drivel that most us have come to loathe!

So what kind of stuff lives on It's Not JUST Graphics then?

Well here's a sample of some of the cool articles for you to peruse:

1. A Good Place To Start Is Tom's INTRODUCTION Page 

2. Then There's A Good Article Entitled "Do People Really Like Professor Layton?"

3. Why not read an article all about learning to LOVE the Wii U

We'd say that this should get you started into the wonderful world of "INJG"

We're off to read all about Bioshock Infinite before we purchase that bad boy game! 

Why not let us know what you think about INJG?

Does It Inspire YOU To Create Your Very Own Blog Or Website On This Amazing Subject That We Call Video Games?

★OTON X Video Game Console Latest News★ @EnGeniux #GamersUnite

Recently we told you all about the OTON X The Video Games Console That Creates Its Own Games......

Now We've Got Some More News On This Cool Games machine....So Read On

The OTON X Video Games Console is set to offer crowdfunding during its open beta of the console’s user interface testing. 

This is the first beta testing hybrid crowdfunding campaign ever to offer users the ability to sample a portion of the product before they actually back the project. 

The beta will have a weekly status update system to track progress.

There will also be a voting system based on feedback from OTON user interface testers.

The unique selling point for the OTON X console is that it's the first autonomous game console to self-create game levels and games without a full-time developer.

The system goes about creating games using a custom algorithm with preset design parameters and a sprite database to create custom game environments. 

This ingenious and innovative process saves time and money and supports developers with new game content to players much faster.

The EnGeniux Project wanted to take a different approach with this crowdfund effort, so it is using the Selfstarter Method used by other platforms that didn’t use Kickstarter to fund their projects. 

During the campaign Engeniux will be offering these three Cool Incentives To Back:

- All Credit cards will not be charged until one month before units ship.

- $100 of game credit if the OTON developer (dev unit) doesn’t ship on the date EnGeniux promises.

-A free OTON T-shirt if the OTON dev unit can’t produce 100 different basic 2D game levels and characters when shipped.

The OTON X Systems will cost $99 for early-bird units (limit of 50 units) and $139 for standard units. 

Derrick Samuels who is the OTON X creator and project manager said the following:

“We’re excited and confident that we can get OTON X funded with this hybrid method,”

“I stand behind my console and my team, and we want our community to feel excited and confident that we can deliver!”

We Say Why Not Get Involved And Visit The OTON X BETA Pages  to beta test the OTON X UI!
