block rockin beats of LUMINES Electronic Symphony

LUMINES Electronic Symphony Members of our Frag Doll community have said that the lifeblood of the PS Vita will be its games. This couldn’t be truer. After all, it’s the games that get me to invest in any gaming platform I purchase. I bought my Xbox so I could play Halo, I got my PS3 so I could play Little Big Planet and I got a Wii so I could Just Dance. I don’t think hand held devices are any different. Sony is banking on a number of AAA titles to help put their Vita into gamers hands. But I feel one of the strongest games available at launch will be Lumines Electronic Symphony. According to PlayStation, “In 2005, Lumines was released as the number one-ranked title for the PlayStation Portable and still holds its place as one of the top five games currently available for the system”. That is amazing. Well, fans of the game will be happy to know this classic hand held game is getting a reboot for Sony’s new PS Vita. The Vita sequel to Lumines is a brand new game but with the same enthralling fusion of interactive music and visuals. This is the first news of a PS Vita game to really pique my interest. I’ve never purchased a hand held gaming device. I have an iPhone to do all my portable gaming on but if this game really is as cool as it …

Anne-Marie Wilson, also known as Spectra, from the Frag Dolls, has casually played video games off and on since she was a child. But it wasn’t until Halo 2, the creation of Xbox live and her introduction to southpaw controller options that catapulted her into the stratosphere of hardcore gaming. In her relentless pursuit to be the best gamer she can be, Spectra has had to overcome the challenges associated with being a left handed gamer. Learning to play on both default controller settings as well as southpaw, switching back and forth depending on the game and genre. Thus proving, while wearing a “gamer band” and pink fuzzy slippers, she can accomplish anything she sets her heart and mind to.

Gaming is not a hobby for Spectra it is a lifestyle. She spends 30 hours a week engaging in video game related activities. Between the hours spent playing online, hanging out in game forums, writing game reviews, or cutting together videos featuring her latest gaming adventures, it’s a wonder that she finds time for some of her other favorite activities, like skateboarding, making jewelry, sewing and traveling.

Every super hero needs a cover! When Spectra isn’t saving the world one achievement at a time she is working in the film industry. Since 2000, she has been involved, doing a number of different jobs on popular feature films and award winning television shows. 

As a Frag Doll, Spectra, would like to raise industry awareness to the needs of the left handed gamer. In hopes, that left-handed controller options would one day become an industry standard for all games. Until then, Spectra will continue to break gamer stereotypes, encourage other southpaw gamers to keep playing and inspire women of all ages to get into gaming. Her passion and enthusiasm for gaming is infectious and becoming a Frag Doll has given her an outlet to share it with the world.
