Picture Perfect Paranoia

Hurr.

Because, at the moment I am having a hard time to write about articles relating to, remotely or otherwise, to anime (as well as its varying brethren), I decided to write up about something closer to my heart. Video games. Heroes of video games, that is.

Yahoo Games has written an article weeks ago listing and describing the VIP’s of the video game that have made it into the hearts of gamers worldwide. Lest we forget, without these icons the major players in the video game industry wouldn’t be as eponymous as who we have known them as today.

According to the so-called listing, Mario, Sonic, Master Chef are among the inductees, with Lara Croft and Ms. Pacman belonging the female variety. It would seem that most of them are catered for the male crowd, with their awesome curves and equally awesome finesse in handing out the bad guys’ butts. Some of them, in addition, may be familier to those who have obscure memories of video game fandom, even upstarting their more famous counterparts, like Princess Zelda to Link’s own and Ms Pacman to her more famous hubby.

As the gamer demographic ages, and with more newcomers into the fray, it would seem that the industry would grow as big as, but not quite close to, the animation industry. In the coming years, we could see these prophecies (sham or not) come into fruition.
