Video game increases our immagination power .

video games are done on basic language of computer.

Sighs. I'm unfortunately unable to play any of the top recently released games due to my weak, shader-model-2.0 graphics card! It's time for an upgrade! Hell, I still have yet to even play GTA 4!

To the person that wrote games are wrote in basic thats true but most complex game are wrote in C+ or C++

Basic as in Basic?! Basic A?

the best game ever written in C++ will always be quake

To Gerald: There is no common programming language called C+, there's C and there's C++. Basic's pretty outdated these days, but there are a pretty noticeable number of games being produced in Java.

just picked up the asus G73. let me tell you this ting runs anything ive thrown at it.

Shkaa – Yes, there was a C+, wasn't "common". I used to teach it. We called it "C" plus. I only taught it one semester using a command-line interface. Then used the Kernigan/Ritchie book and taught using Turbo C. Liked the new IDE interface. Microsoft was always a step behind in those days.
Then there was C# - called "C" sharp
Then came C++ – we had students call it "C" plus plus – but it shoud be called "C" increment.
I got upset when every 12-14 months there was a new version!!
-Oh, the good 'ol days!!

One reason not mentioned in the article is WHY it was so heavily featured. CNN, you are supposed to be journalists, not mouthpieces for Ubisoft's PR firm. Investigate next time.

The reason it was so heavily covered was because many journalists, bloggers and players complained about the draconian DRM system that prevents players from playing without an Internet connection. Not only did it inconvenience many honest players, but it also mobilized player activists and made many people think about DRM and its negative effect on purchases and branding.

Why are these causes not mentioned in this article?

Awesome. But I think Uncharted2: Among Thieves should've won that......

Pflash: C++ has been around for since 1983. It was the Object Oriented upgrade from C. C# is Microsoft's proprietary language which was developed as an O O language within the .NET framework (and alternative to Java) basically put and its only been around for about 10 years.

Then used the Kernigan/Ritchie book and taught using Turbo C.

^^ Still the most concise book on programming ever written.

one of the best games i have ever played!!!!

Bub, you are absolutely right. Same thing with Command & Conquer 4. You can't play these games without a persistent internet connection, so if your connection pops in and out, you get booted out of the game! The most ridiculous system ever conceived.
