Xbox, Playstation and Wii – Which is best?
November 23rd, 2009 at 07:41pm Under xbox 360
While all modern gaming consoles aim to be the entertainment focus of your home, the Nintendo Wii chases a more general audience (which it has been wildly successful in doing) in comparison with Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and the Sony Playstation 3 which are marketed towards the hard-core action-gaming crowd of male teens and tweens in particular. In terms of hardware, the Wii is outclassed by both the Xbox and the PS3. But it’s the software that truly makes a gaming console, and as Microsoft and Sony are both wooing the same demographic, their respective catalogs can seem quite similar.
But numbers earn bragging rights in the action-gaming culture dominated by young males (ever hear someone brag about their power brick?), and it has to be noted that hardware features dictate software features. In that regard, many may find the Xbox 360 and the PS3 rather similar under the hood, despite Sony’s much-ballyhooed “emotion engine†which is said to realistically render facial expressions for a much more engrossing gaming experience. However, each platform has its coterie of near-rabid followers who will swear that there are many major differences between the two. But the catalog of software for each console might appear similar, too. A similar number of titles are offered, with a similar range of action gameplay involved. Yet it’s safe to say that very few even of the most devoted fan of each platform, if any at all, would turn down a rival console should it be received as a gift! (They probably wouldn’t even turn down, say, an Xbox 360 network adapter.)
The real differences, in fact, involve the special features offered by each as well as the respective online experiences. Microsoft has created a noticeably richer online experience compared to Sony, whose online service is not bad at all. But a more extensive experience is offered by the Xbox 360, though the PS3 tries to make up for it with a built-in Blu-ray DVD player, WiFi web browsing, and Bluetooth wireless support. Then again, the Xbox 360 has NetFlix on-demand, possibly ameliorating the PS3’s Blu-ray Disc advantage. Still again, the PS3 is extensively moddable, while the Xbox 360 seems to discourage such hobbyist tinkering.
Finally, there’s the matter of pricing, with the PS3 costing more for its slightly greater number of features. PS3 and Xbox 360 accessories run about even, though. Of course, if you’re a hard-core gamer prices are typically not an issue, with decisions made often based on titles exclusive to each platform. Of course, the hard-core of the hard-core really don’t care about prices and would just purchase both systems!

Xbox Live And Online Gaming
October 10th, 2009 at 03:32pm Under xbox 360+ xbox gaming+ xbox live
The Xbox 360 currently offers users with the opportunity to interact with each other, by utilizing the add-on function that is the Xbox Live. If you’re an Xbox Live member, you are immediately included in the chat list. Therefore, you are able to chat and discuss any point with your friends and family through the Xbox 360 headset. Moreover, you can interact and plan a gaming throwdown with countless other Xbox gamers. Xbox Live can also permit you to shop in the Xbox Live Marketplace, download extra video game features and even access the preview to videos.
If players are enticed by these features and want to become an Xbox Live member, then there are two accounts to select from, divided into two distinct services, these are the – silver and gold accounts.
Firstly, the silver service is just the free version of the Xbox Live. Using this version, gamers can easily go online and download the video games. In addition to this, gamers are even given the capacity to use your very own voice to talk and meet with other Xbox Live gamers. However, this is all the Xbox Live silver provides customers with. If you’re searching for the best Xbox Live experience,the Xbox Live gold account is what you need to go for.
Lastly, the Xbox Live Gold option has additional functions that make it an awesome way to game onthe internet. Apart from the awesome Xbox Live functions, it will provide the users with a bunch of further add-ons. There’s augmented chat compatability, as well as interaction with many Microsoft products, including messenger and other chat and video programs. The most prominent function of the Xbox Live gold is the method in which your web avatar is displayed to the reast of the community. Each account is allowed to create a distinct ‘motto’ displaying to other gamers online, even linking them to Facebook. In addition, you’re also able to hold a record of your achievements. As you play more and more you gradually forge a rep, and if gamers warm to you they are able to rank you positively, making it much better to avoid interacting with gamers holding bad feedback.
Players can also build a full friends list that will list all your chosen buddies. It will also tell you when any of your friends go online. There’s also a recent player list which will record the last 50 friends that you have played with.
The Xbox Live is as good as the Xbox gaming will get. Not only does it provide you with some great gaming but it will also provide you with the opportunity to share your experiences with other users!

The most realistic racing experience
August 4th, 2009 at 08:35pm Under xbox 360
Although many have tried, there has never been a game that captured the true auto racing experience. This has all changed, recently, with the release of Need for Speed Shift Xbox, where all the excitement if racing is right in your hands.
The graphic are outstanding and give a real feel and look of a true simulated race track. It also has a feature not seen in many games, the ability to pick and choose every aspect of the car you race. From how the car looks to what you have under the hood, all the choices are up to you!
Another great experience with this game is the crashes. You are not only able to feel and see the impact, but you driver is also left stunned and disoriented for a few seconds. The game also adepts to the speed that you are driving so that the drivers head is vibrating and the objects that are passing all correspond to how fast you are racing.
And the way you drive is recorded and you are matched with races that are based on your skill level and driving abilities, which honestly makes for a better overall racing experience, since you will be matched with racers that are at your level. Racing has never been this competitive. Single player career mode is just as good as the multi-player mode, but for many the best racing comes from the online experience of racing others in the Xbox live forum.
The only way to describe this game would be: The closest racing experience you will have, without having to get behind the actual wheel of the car! It is honestly the best racing game that has been available on any platform, to date!
The latest racing game that has been receiving a lot of hype is Need For Speed Shift Xbox. It is a excellent game that has the realist feel of actually being on a race track. It is a game that the whole family can enjoy so get your copy today!

Delays Delays; RB Track Pack helps you cry into your beer; Lolstats

You can stop holding your breath now. No… please
If you’ve been waiting with baited breath to get Bioshock 2, Heavy Rain, Max Payne 3, Red Dead Redemption or Mafia 2 into your grubby little paws, you should maybe find another hobby. All of these have been put back to 2010. Official reasons for this vary, but given that nobody has a lot of spare cash right now, it might just be that they’re hoping sales levels will have improved by then… [Source]
So if you’re feeling like a wet weekend, there’s just 6 days until you can get your hands on the new Rock Band Country Track Pack
One to make you smile: Xbox Live and PSN players have been competing to be the first to unlock the new Coral Sea map on Battlefield 1943. Needless to say, XBL won – by a margin of more than 20 million kills. Jury’s out on why this is, but it seems there were more XBL downloads – plus we all know the Xbox beats the PS3 for accuracy any day. [Source]
