...The latest Nintendo product, the Wii, is not just your everyday console. In truth it disconnects itself from the others such as Microsoft's Xbox 360 and the SonyPS3 in several ways.

Firstly, there are no touch pads to lay your thumbs on and there is no requirement to move a joystick about. All you have is a controller which is extremely simple to operate. Aside from all of this, the greatest advantage of the Wii rests with the fact that it can really develop a person in a positive way, by improving his emotional and bodily characteristics.

The Definitive Dissimilarity in Movements

Perhaps you have become a couch potato if you have been active in gaming for a long while and the most you have had to do is to exercise your thumbs.

The Wii operates in totally the opposite way because the real movement comes from the controller itself, so you have to carry out the movements in order to be able to play the game. The physical efforts you put in...more

Xbox 360 VS. PlaySation 3

...First of Microsoft had the edge when the 360 was lunched way before Sonys PS3. Now when Sonys has launched PS3 its a much more powerful console than the 360.

If you should compare these two very powerful gaming stations you have to see the whole experience not just the technical specifications. First we have to compare some technical specifications. The PS3 hav...more

HD Loader - Play PS2 Games From Your Playstation 2 Hard Drive

... "go" when the next level is loading, and it loads at lightning speeds.

Until the HD Loader was released, Playstation 2 gamers were envious of their Xbox counterparts. What the HD Loader does though, goes even beyond the simplistic level loading or reducing load times. It actually allows you to put the ENTIRE game, on the hard drive. And not just one game, as many games that will fit on to the hard drive you have installed into your PS2. So you'll not only be able to have faster load times, but you'll also be able to store the actual games, digitally, on your Playstation 2 hard drive, without having to damage your game discs in the process. There is no need for the discs to be used, so you can put them away for safe keeping. In fact, you can keep them as good as new because you'll be loading the entire game from your hard drive, and not the disc itself.

I keep making mention of the fact that a PS2 network adapter is required, if you want to use the HD Loader. This is in fact true, but the reality is, the Playstation 2 can NOT have a hard drive connected without a network adapter. You see, the network adapter acts as your IDE converter. While it is designed to let you get online, and play online games, it also has a plug on the inside, which allows you to connect a Hard Drive to the game console. This was developed mainly for the Final Fantasy game, which actually required a Hard Drive to play, to store and load content from the hard drive. Now before you go thinking that you'll be stuck with a 40 gigabyte hard drive, the one that comes with the Final Fantasy game. It's important for me to state that while you could use that 40 gigabyte hard drive, the HD Loader ...more

Next Gen Consoles - Is Price Truly No Object?

...When the Xbox 360 was released, it certainly seemed as if a new bar in console pricing had been set. Throw out the immensely overpriced fringe systems of the past (the CD-i and its initial $700 price point for example) and the 360s $400 premium console became the standard.

While no one was mystified to see Nintendo clock in at $250, keeping the company's promise of undercutting the competition on price, Sony's announcement of a $600 premium Playstation 3 model came as a surprise to many. True, lower price models of the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 exist, but even a $500 basic model gives the Playstation 3 the distinction of setting a new bar in expense.

It is impossible to escape the reality that the Playstation 3 is buoyed by its Blu-ray capabilities. Incorp...more
