A List Of The Most Anticipated PS3 Releases For 2009-2010

2008 was an excellent year for the Sony Playstation 3. After 3 years of being beaten up (some would even use the word “raped”) by its competitors, the Nintendo Wii and the Microsoft Xbox 360, the PS3 bounced back with strong exclusives and verified hits like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Little Big Planet.

What’s in store for the Sony Plastation 3 in the months to come? Will the schedule of PS3 releases continue the momentum established by the company in 2008? Will 2009, and even 2010, be the period when Sony regains the throne it was forced to surrender? Will 2009, and even 2010, be the period when Sony will actually realize some profit for their video game console?

Let us take a closer look at the PS3 releases for the said period which possess the highest likelihood of becoming blockbusters for the system.

A Nintendo Wii Games List For The 4th Quarter Of 2009

In marketing, the 4th quarter of the year is known as the time when people are in the “holiday mode,” a state of mind that makes them more susceptible to buying particular things.

How To Become A Better Mario Kart Wii Player

How To Become A Better Mario Kart Wii Player

If you have tried multiplayer Mario Kart Wii over WiFi, then you’ll agree with me when I say that it’s one of the best online gaming experience you’ll ever encounter in this lifetime. The thrill of competing against fellow players and racing against them across several tracks is truly exhilarating.

How exciting is a multiplayer game of Mario Kart Wii?

Imagine this: you’re driving Mario’s favorite go kart-style racer, and you’re at 2nd position on the 3rd and final lap. You’re gaining momentum, and the person in pole position is in sight. You know you’ll be able to overtake him on the next bend, as quick turn drifts are your specialty. The bend comes. You’re right at his tail. You press on the gas and reverse at the same time. You turn your wheel. You drift way past him.

Reviews Of The Best Nintendo DS Lite Bundles Available Today

Why buy a Nintendo DS Lite bundle?

Well, for starters, it will come out cheaper compared to buying the system THEN buying a game you can play. Savings can amount to as much as 23% for certain deals, which is a lot considering the fact that buying the system and the game separately can cost almost $170.

Also, many Nintendo DS Lite bundles offer exclusive colors that one cannot find on systems that are sold separately. Remember the blazing red DS with decal stickers that came with the Mario Kart DS bundle? How about the light pink DS that came with the Nintendogs bundle?

Playstation 3 Vs Xbox 360 Round 2 Battle Of The Motion Control Systems

Playstation 3 Vs Xbox 360 Round 2 Battle Of The Motion Control Systems

Are you ready for Playstation 3 vs Xbox 360, Round 2?

What used to be a battle for better graphics, better game play, better online multiplayer experience and better storyline modes has taken a cue from the runaway leader of the current generation of consoles, the Nintendo Wii. The battle has graduated from a number crunching war involving processing power, onboard memory and polygons per second into a more practical war involving, you guessed it, motion control systems.

The Nintendo Wii presented a new way of enjoying games: making one’s body the controller. Using a motion sensing controller, the Wii introduced new game play mechanics that attracted previous non-gamers into the fold and gave birth to an entirely new generation of video game enthusiasts collectively labeled as casual gamers.

How Well Is The New Nintendo DSi Performing?

How Well Is The New Nintendo DSi Performing?

When the new Nintendo DSi was announced by the company, it was met with a lot of criticisms and doubts. It’s not that naysayers were just being, well, naysayers. The critics of the new Nintendo DSi actually had some valid points with regards to their reservations about the version of the handheld gaming system:

- The core Nintendo DS system already has 2 iterations, namely the original DS and the DS Lite. The market wouldn’t be ready for a new Nintendo DSi.
- Introducing a new Nintendo DSi to the market barely 2 years since the release of the Nintendo DS Lite can be seen as a betrayal of the trust reposed to the company by Nintendo fans.
- The new Nintendo DSi may not include enough additional features that will warrant sales from people who already own an older Nintendo DS unit… and DS owners are aplenty, shrinking the potential market for the new portable.

Fast forward to the here and now, a few months after the release of the DSi, and we are left with a question:

6 Reasons Why You Should Invest On A Bigger Xbox 360 Hard Drive

6 Reasons Why You Should Invest On A Bigger Xbox 360 Hard Drive

Since the New Xbox Live Experience was implemented a few months ago, the Xbox 360 hard drive became an even more important component of the console.

As you may remember, the Xbox 360 can be bought in a variety of packages, one of them being the Arcade package where you will get the console, a controller, a predetermined game, 2 Xbox arcade games, and a memory card. That’s right, the Arcade bundle doesn’t come with an Xbox 360 hard drive to make the package more affordable and more attractive for budget-challenged gamers.
Guess what? The Xbox 360 Arcade bundle won’t cut it anymore.
