    Video Game Lexicology: Gamer-gasm

    gamer-gasm (n): the physical and emotional sensation experienced at the peak of excitation, usually resulting from playing, reading about, or seeing a screenshot or a gameplay video for a new game.

    I definitely had a gamer-gasm the other day. The Sims 3 came out for PC, but I already had that (read my initial review here; I may do a followup now that I've played longer), but I also realized The Sims 3 came out for the iPhone; in fact, it was downloading as I wrote this.

    This, however, was just foreplay. The icing on the cake was seeing the following trailer from Xbox 360 for Project Natal. Do you see where things in the gaming world are about to go?! Facial recognition, full body involvement, NO CONTROLLERS, oh my! If this doesn't give you a gamer-gasm, you must not be alive!

    When's the last time you had a gamer-gasm?
