Video Game Systems Review

Nintendo Wii

This, at present, is the best family-friendly games video game system on the market. A lot of users agree that the new Wii is addictive, intuitive and fun. They chose not to compete with Xbox 360 or PS3 , graphics wise and concentated on the Wii remote control, a fantastic motion-sensitive controller that can get the whole family (even the couch potatoes) out of their chairs, waving the controller around in the air and jumping up and down like a demented Banshee! Hard-core gamers will be disappointed in the Wii but this Video Game System is aimed at, and great for, families and groups of friends and is very reasonably priced!
Microsoft Xbox 360

Arguably the best high-end of the systems that you can buy.The PlayStation 3 is far more advanced, technology wise, to the Xbox 360 but experts say that it will take quite a while for game developers to really hone the technology of the PS3 Systems. The graphics quality for PS3 and Xbox 360are equally as good but the Xbox was released 12-months earlier than the PS3 and that means that there is a lot more choice of games for the Xbox.The Xbox video game systems also have better online gaming for an annual fee. For those who aren't into online gaming, a basic Xbox 360 has been released.

Sony PlayStation 3

Reviewers report that in the end, the Sony PlayStation 3 will take the mantle of the best of the Video Game Systems. But, at this moment in time, it would be hard to choose it over the Xbox 360. Mainly because it will take quite a while for the game developers to harness the power of the PS3's processor.The PS3 also has the facility to play Blu-ray DVD's which are excellent quality.So if you are thinking of buying a Blu-ray DVD player it is worth considering the PS3 because, at the moment, it is half the price of a stand-alone Blu-ray DVD player.

Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

This, in my experience, is the best of the handheld systems.It has a higher price than the other handheld systems, but the few extra dollars really are worth it.The PSP's large,hi-res screen and easy-to-use controls makes gaming a pleasurable experience. Around 220 games are available on UMD format along with the latest movies on the same format (although I hear they may be phasing out the UMD movies).The PSP uses the Magic Gate memory sticks, on which you can store and play MP4 movies,T.V. shows, video's etc and MP3's, you can also surf the internet using the integrated wireless technology!

Nintendo DS

This is the lower priced of the handheld Video Game Systems.The DS does not have all the bells and whistles of the PSP but what it does have is a pair of 3-inch screens.One of the two screens is a touchscreen which Nintendo have built their games around. The DS is a great reasonably priced Video Game System and has some cool games for kids and grown ups alike (I particularly like the Brain Training series of games). There are nearly 300 games for the Nintendo DS, and it can also play the old Game Boy Advance games.
