Educational Gaming Commons - Press Start

Play2 is a new bar in South Philly with a twist. Games & whopping big screens to view the games. With 18 semi-private booths, 58" LCDS and a variety of gaming consoles, it's sure to be a fun place to gather with friends, eat, drink - and play games. Check out the pics!

To me, this is just another indicator on how our culture is embracing electronic games. Soon, the ability to play games in a socially interactive environment will be as easy to reach and as transparent as cell phones.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette recently posted a video about a very cool 3D snowball fight game created by Carnegie-Mellon University students. Check it out - very nice work by these folks.
