5 Xbox 360 Exclusives That May Find Their Way To The Play Station 3

5 Xbox 360 Exclusives That May Find Their Way To The Play Station 3

The current generation of console war between Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s Play Station 3 has its nasty side.  There are reports of companies paying game developers so that the latter’s games will be exclusively released in their systems.

However, in the fickle world of video game entertainment, there are no permanent alliances.  Look at Nintendo and Square.  Look at Nintendo and Sony.  Look at Microsoft and Rare.  Look at Microsoft and Bungie Soft.

They may be Xbox 360 exclusives today, but it’s only a matter of time before these 5 titles will appear on the Sony Play Station 3:

Common Fixes For Known Xbox 360 Glitches

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Common Fixes For Known Xbox 360 Glitches

The Xbox 360 is quite popular for its amazing processing power, fantastic graphics, multimedia functionalities, and its deep library of games.  It is also known for its exclusives, like Halo, Fable, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Left 4 Dead, Banjo Kazooie, and the likes.

What the Xbox 360 isn’t known for is reliability.  Simply put, the console is considered as a cursed system that is riddled with a variety of Xbox 360 glitches.

If it weren’t for these Xbox 360 glitches, the console would be dominating the sales charts on a consistent basis.  But because of these Xbox 360 glitches, people doubt whether or not the console is a good investment.  The Xbox 360 isn’t cheap, by any means, and people don’t want to spend their hard earned cash on something that has a 16% chance (according to Microsoft, but third party estimates climb as high as 65%) of breaking down within the first 2 years.

4 Must Own Nintendo Wii Games That A Die Hard Fan Shouldnt Live Without

4 Must Own Nintendo Wii Games That A Die Hard Fan Shouldn’t Live Without

Exclusives.  This is the strength of Nintendo, and consequently, this is the strength of its latest video gaming console: the Nintendo Wii.  Properties like Mario, Luigi, Link, Zelda, Samus, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Pikachu, Pokemon, and Kirby are staples of every generation Nintendo system.  Newly rejuvenated franchises like Punch Out and Kid Icarus are excellent additions to the current roster.  And new properties like Animal Crossing are guaranteed to bring in new fans for the company.

Hence, it should come as no surprise that the 4 “must own” Wii games on our list will involve these properties that will never appear for any other companies.  Only Nintendo Wii (and maybe even Nintendo DS) owners will be able to enjoy them.

Let’s take a look at the 4 Nintendo Wii games that no Wii owner should do without.

Whats New With The New Nintendo DSi?

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Whats New With The New Nintendo DSi

The new Nintendo Dsi was met with lots of excitement when it was released in April of 2009.  It can even be considered as a commercial success, though it failed to beat the record set by the first incarnation of the Nintendo DS.  Nevertheless, the new Nintendo DSi has proven a point: that there is a healthy market of passionate users for an upgraded model of an existing product.

The new Nintendo DSi was packaged by the company as a handheld that even old DS owners would want to own.

Guess what?

The Future Of The Playstation 3 Five PS3 Games That Will Make Or Break The System In 2009

The Future Of The Playstation 3  Five PS3 Games That Will Make Or Break The System In 2009

Even the so-called “fanboys” would agree, the Sony Playstation 3 has been trailing the Nintendo Wii and the Xbox 360 in terms of sales since the day the PS3 was launched.  Sony promised consumers that it will regain the market leadership by the end of 2007 – a leadership it once enjoyed with the Playstation 2 (PS2) – but it didn’t happen, mainly because of the lack of console-defining exclusives.  Sonly promised consumers that 2008 will be the PS3’s year, but this didn’t materialize despite strong showings from Metal Gear Solid 4 (MGS4) and Little Big Planet.

And now, Sony has once again promised that 2009 will be the glory year of the PS3.

Its patrons are becoming impatient.  Industry experts believe that 2009 is the “make or break” year for the PS3.  2009, they say, is the year that will either mark the PS3 as a worthy entry to Sony’s series of console excellence, or brand the PS3 as a market failure despite its clearly superior engineering.

Looking For Xbox 360 Cheats

Looking For Xbox 360 Cheats

Not everyone is a hardcore gamer.  No everyone can spend countless hours every day in front of his Xbox 360 just to finish games, unlock achievements, play multiplayer matches, and brag about his accomplishments by just hanging out at Xbox Live so that people can check out his game stats.  Most people have day jobs or school or family or other commitments.  They need to enjoy their games quickly, and they need to finish their titles fast.  To do this, they may throw away their gamers’ pride and resort to Xbox 360 cheats.

Most Xbox 360 games have Xbox 360 cheats.  A majority of them were deliberately implemented by the designers themselves to give gamers the option to take the easier, albeit less rewarding, way.  Actually, these so-called “Xbox 360 cheats” were placed in games to help developers test out the title during development.  It will be quite difficult looking for bugs while juggling 3 lives and no 1ups, after all.  Infinite lives may be better.  God mode would simply own.

There are many places on the internet where you can find Xbox 360 cheats for the titles you own.  Here are 4 of the more popular websites dedicated to hosting Xbox 360 cheats:

The Pros And Cons Of The Nintendo DSi

The Nintendo DSi appears to be a fantastic portable machine that any gamer-on-the-go is sure to cherish and enjoy.  It is being marketed as such: the ultimate handheld gaming system that is all you’ll ever need during those idle parts of the say when time seems to slow down to a crawl, or when you get stuck in a deserted island in the middle of nowhere which, heaven forbid, hopefully won’t happen.

5 Nintendo DSi Games To Look Forward To In 2009

The Nintendo DSi – the logical evolution to the DS and the DS Lite – is finally here.  This means brighter screens, a lighter and sleeker design, dual cam, better audio playback, an external storage space and faster processing courtesy of a bigger RAM for Nintendo’s flagship handheld.  But do these features matter if the company cannot publish Nintendo DSi games that people will love to get their hands on?

2009 is a pivotal year for video game consoles – handhelds or otherwise.  It’s the chance for that last giant push to be associated with dominance over this decade and for that great head start going to the next.  Hence, there are some big Nintendo DSi games lined up towards the latter part of this year, Nintendo DSi games which the company hopes will capture people’s imagination and gaming dollars.
