Every 
Thursday, I join Chris Salcedo and Lori Lundin on the mid-day edition of America’s Radio News Network to discuss trends and news in the technology and video game space. This week’s topics were the near-imminent arrival of Windows 8, Barnes & Noble’s new back-lit nook eReader and NBC’s decision to live stream the entirety of the 2012 Summer Olympics online.

Norway killer cites video games as training tools
Anders 
Behring Breivik, who has confessed to killing 77 people in Norway last summer, told the court Thursday that he used video games to help him train for his massacre.

Bond’s back in ’007 Legends’
James 
Bond has been responsible for some truly memorable film and gaming moments. This fall, you’ll get the chance to explore both at the same time.
Activision has taken the wraps off 007 Legends, a new game for the franchise that’s expected to launch in conjunction with the series’ 50th anniversary.

The World’s Largest Games
“Big” 
is really just a matter of perspective when it comes to video games. There’s big in terms of sales (see: Call of Duty), big in terms of popularity (see: Pokemon), and, of course, big in terms of sheer gameplay size (See: Skyrim).
Then there are games that are big in the conventional sense: massive physical structures. While portable games might be more popular, there’s a niche market for folks who like to super-size their games. Here are some of the truly biggest games in the world.

Apptastic: Cinemagram
You might be familiar with Instagram, an app that lets you add filter effects to your pictures, but so far video has been left out. Well, Cinemagram hopes to fill that void converting short video clips to stylized two-second animated files that you can post online.
Fifth-grader makes video game for blind grandmother
While 
most ten-year-olds are happy simplyplaying video games, that wasn’t enough for Dylan Viale.
The fifth-grader, you see, has a very close relationship with his grandmother Sherry, who has been blind for decades. And because of that condition, he wasn’t able to share his love of video games.
So he decided to make one just for her.
Apptastic: Theodolite
Apps and outdoor sports may not always go together, but Theodolite might have found a sweet spot. The app overlays all sorts of information to become a complete navigational tool, blending compass heading, elevation, coordinates and a whole lot more into one sleek package.
