Games! Games! Games!

Yesterday, the NPD Group released video game hardware sales data for April. Nintendo’s Wii and DS consoles were again the big winners, as both platforms dominated all competitors. This marks the 4th month in a row that Nintendo has nabbed the top spots with its respective systems on the hardware sales charts.

I had an idea that I wrote about on the official European WoW forum over a year ago. It was pretty much shot down by the majority that replied, but I’ve seen it suggested countless times since and I still hope it will happen.

Resident Evil 4 seems like a perfect choice to be remade for the Wii. The game used an aiming mechanic which would be much more intuitive with the Wiimote. It also was the pinnacle of GameCube and has visuals that easily stand up today.

Sony is hoping that PlayStation Home will give the PS3 a greater advantage in the next gen gaming wars, especially as it appears far more advanced than Xbox Live which may even result in some Sony PlayStation converts!

Wieder mal ein Video von Acidmods. Diesmal: Eine psp mit 2tem Analog Nub!

La pregunta que nos hacemos en el título del post, es la que se están haciendo los directivos de Capcom. Desde esta empresa, todos esperan que tanto la versión de Xbox 360, como la de PlayStation 3 sean lo más parecidas posible.

This has some implications for video games. Think of how categorised video game reviews are, and the implications that these categories have. Are games that are classified as “casual” less valuable than “hardcore” ones? Is it the other way around?

My little boy,that is! He was crying out loud! Imagine this, he got a PSP(white covered) for almost 2 yrs now. It was a gift for him when he was like 3 and it was a bit expensive of that time because it was a new cool stuff! Like double the price compare to now. Since it has been badly used by him..of course it was dropped many times he even throw it countless times..Poor thing. But this afternoon, he saw a black and a blue one and he asked his Dad if he can get another new one.

Have recently been given an xbox, I've noticed how difficult it is to buy new xbox games now. The original xbox and all games have been replaced in large retailers like HMV and Virgin Megastores by Xbox 360 hardware and titles, while searching online retailers inevitably mainly throws up results for the 360. Sony did the exact opposite when the PS2 came out, re-releasing the PlayStation as the cheaper PSone thus saving all sorts of naming confusion.

i’ve always liked the Nintendo DS better cos it has so many more games but the screen of the PSP is just too alluring. plus i can use it to watch videos on train rides and also listen to music. so that should be enough to warrant buying one. only cost me $220 with a 2GB memory stick and 1 new game. pretty good deal actually.
