...The Z-axis; the third dimension; a new depth. Video games changed by an immeasurable degree simply by adding a new direction to travel. Super Mario 64 was, for myself and many others, a mind blowing experience. Moving the plumber around in all directions in a virtual world that felt real and familiar was like seeing the future right there in front of my eyes. From the first time I climbed a tree in the seemingly tangible world I knew that there would be some really amazing stuff produced in the video game industry during my lifetime.

video games have come a great distance since the N64. Assassin's Creed shows us how games can have infinitely impressive environmental interactivity (even if the game play is somewhat repetitive). Bioshock gave us a look at the future of story telling in games. But even as we stand on the edge of what technology wi...more

Nintendo Wii Consoles Stand Apart From The Competition

...pts and marry them with an interactive gaming experience. When playing tennis on Wii Games you do not push a joystick to swing the racket, you swing your arm while holding the Wii controller, known officially as the Wiimote. The same goes for all the other games that are designed for the Nintendo Wii consoles. However, part of the appeal of the Nintendo Wii consoles is that they are not designed solely for Nintendo Wii games. In fact, they are fully compatible with games for the Nintendo GameCube as well.

Another impressive element of the Nintendo Wii consoles is that they also have th...more

Nintendo DS - Get Going with the Innovations

...Once upon a time we were just simple people. But that was before we began relationships with the mechanical systems. Nowadays, technological innovations are taking place every now and then which are steadily facilitating all our requirements. The quest of the human minds never ends. They never seem to be satisfied with the available options.

Almost all the technological innovations which are created by man such as airplane, computer etc. speak little about his intelligence. In fact they reflect the volume of his intense creativity. Today, everybody seems to get busy in their hectic schedules that they cannot even understand what to choose from the available options. Moreover, the kids are so overburdened with study pressures that they hardly get enough time to refresh themselves.

As such, how can the genius minds rest. They have actually visualised this scenario long before. We are always asked to cross a bridge when we come across it, while there are lots of people who have already crossed the bridge in their imagination. These wise people actually visualis...more

How to Choose a video game Console

...systems are hard to find at regular retailers, but they are usually quite a bit cheaper if you buy them online.

Graphics -

The graphics are always improving with the newer video game consoles, so the newer systems will always have the best graphics. The Xbox 360 and ps3 have the best graphics and can display in High definition if you have a TV that can display it too. The Wii does not have the same graphical capabilities as the other two, though many casual gamers will not be disappointed. The Nintendo DS and PSP lack the graphical power that the home consoles have because they are portable. And the PSP can display graphics quite a bit better than the DS.

If you are considering older systems, each generation is roughly at the same level graphically no matter which system you choose. Playstation and Nintendo 64 are about the same, as are Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. But the Nintendo 64 will have better graphics than Super Nintendo, which in turn is better than the original Nintendo.
