Here are the pics of the PS4 (Not official)

It has just been said that Microsoft's Project Natal will be compatible with other consoles such as Playstation 3 and it hasn't been long enough for a new console. But I personally wouldn't say no that beatiful thing on that picture! I mean look at it! I wonder how the games would be like. Well, i don't think we'd need CD's anymore. Wouldn't it be cool to just play a game by selecting it?

Do you think it is real? Are you ready for a new Playstation?

#8 Skins For Consoles

Take a look at these awesome looking skins!

Wouldn't it be cool to have a console with skin like this?

The skins sure do make your cnosolelook awesome! But are theyprotective? Or are they worth the money?

Would you spend your money to make your PS3 or Xbox 360 to make it look like this?

#7 Which Console Should I Buy?

This?360

Or This?ps3

WHICH ONE SHOULD I BUY?

I have been using my 360 for two and a half years now. My 360 got Rrod and didn't work until yesterday. Now it works but it makes a disturbing noise and rarely freezes. But works.

So here is the thing. I love the 360, but hate Rrod, however i have been told that in the 360 Elite, there is only a 30% chance of getting a Rrod. I love the 360's online gameplay and everything. But never experienced the Playstation 3.

I have friends at Xbox Live but almost all of my friends that live where i live have a Playstation 3 and none of them have an Xbox 360. I have asked several friends for an advice and almost all of them suggested the Playstation 3. I have never played the PS3, but neither did they play the 360. If i buy a PS3 i will be able to play with my friends but i will have missed the 360 Exclusives like Halo and Gears of War. If i buy a 360 Elite, i will have those exclusives and the online gameplay experience i want with a low chance of Rrod, but will have never played a PS3 and won't have a chance to play online with my friends. :( I like both of the consoles.

Please state your advices! I need them untill January 22 which is when the semester ends. I will have gone to Canada as an exchange student and i hope i will be able to buy it there so that the prices will be lower.

I'm waiting for your advices! :)

Also, if you post a comment please don't forget to say why you suggest the console that you suggest! :)

#6 Red Rings Of Death

Red Rings Of Death

rrod

I was very happy when i first got my 360.

I was totally flipped out after i saw those evil Red Rings Of Death on the power button. I got it fixed, and it started making annoying noises. I didn't play it for months until today.(My friend was coming by and i plugged the 360 in to show him the Red Rings Of Death.) He hit the power button and it actually worked!

I was really surprisedbecause i tried to turn it on before he cameand it didn't work!It still keeps making those freaky noises but it works.

I have always liked Xbox 360 better then the PS3 but

360 has more hardware malfunctions then PS3.

However, only areally small amount of players claim not to buy a new 360 after they have Rrod which is another proof that the 360 is themore popular console.I do not imply that the 360 is th better consolein anyway. (Which i think is true.)

There are several ways fix the Rrod yourself without sending it to repair.

-Covering your 360 with a towel. (Don't remember how long you are supposed to keep it like that. I know i sounds crazy but it works.

-Keep your 360 cool and make sure you have air conditioning.

-Fans might not be working or something may be blocking. So make sure nothing is in the way.

-Keep you 360 clean from dust.

However, eventhough you can postpone the innevitable, the chance of your 360 having Rrod still exists.

#4 Project Natal

PROJECT NATAL

Xbox 360 is finally officialy coming to my country tomorrow with Need for Speed: Shift!

Every time i imagine myself raise my hands and race without a controller, i get more excited. (Eventhough it is not yet official if NFS:Shift is going to be compatible with Project Natal's motion control.) But motion control is only one of the things that Project Natal offers the player. As many of you have seen before in the trailers, you can scroll in the Dashboard by just swinging your hand, Playing a movie with just saying 'Play movie', Scanning your very own skate board and select it ingame, and then skate with it, Fight with your own hands ETC...

skateboard


Go to this link for the trailer: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/puzzle/miloworkingtitle/video/6210712


I was really happy when i read several posts such as:

http://technews.am/conversations/slashgear/project_natal_unlikely_to_be_backward_compatible_with_existing_360_games

claiming that Microsoft comfirmed that the existing games will be compatible with Project Natal's Motion Control.

However, it is not official yet if PN is going to be compatible with the games that game out before PN either.

Even so, this will not be something that gamers will complain about if we consider the fact that impressive titles are coming out in these few years.

I was even happier after i read a post on Gamespot, it said that Epic vice president Mark Rein confirmed that the Unreal Engine will support Natal development. (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6232564.html)

Wouldn't it be great to play Gears of War or any other shooter that Unreal Engine supports with Project Natal?


Has anyone seen Milo? ''The Virtual Human''? if you haven't, you should definitely check it out.

I don't think he has certain answers for certain questions, instead he actually looks like he states his own ideas!

If you watch the video in the linked in the post, you must have been really impressed. Especially when Claire drew a picture and held it to the Natal' eye, and then it scans it in less then a second and Milo takes the picture from Claire

and the part that Milo can't look into Claire's eyes when he is shy.

Natal also has facial and voice recognition, allowing you to just sign in just by standing infront of the Natal's eye.

As shown in the trailer, you can video chat with another user just by saying so!

I can't wait for playing RPG's, racing games like Need for Speed: Shift or shooters like Gears of War!

Although it doesn't look like Project Natal is coming soon, it already has drawn a huge attention and is already a must buy for not just the players of the Xbox 360, but all of the new consoles. That's right. Natal is going to be combatible with every console that has or will come out.

What are your thoughts about Project Natal?





#3 Copy Games

copy

I've been buying copy games for a long while now. Most of them give errors, sometimes the crack or some other fiels are corrupted, they turn out to be a rip version instead of a full version, your crack doesn't work and when you try to download a crack you get trojans and stuff. Do any of these happen in original games? No they don't. Ofcourse it depends on the place you buy your copy games because in some places none of these won't occur. However, this does not validate that copy games are ''better'' then original games. Yes, they are alot cheaper but there isn't a chance of you getting an error message, a corrupted file or a screwed up crack file. Shortly, i prefer original games. They are more reliable eventhough they are more expensive. What do you think?

#2 Xbox 360 vs. Playstation 3

(first of all, i want all of you that i am NOT a fanboy of neither consoles, i like them both, so please don't get pissed off because you thing im on a side. cause im not.)(i personally hate it when sony and ms fanboys fight trying to defend their consoles.)
i LOVE the 360.it has all of the exclusives that i love. (halo3,gow,gow2,mass effect etc).
however, i own a 360 but it had Rrod. i got it fixed, then after i got it back it started making an annoying noise.that couldn't be fixed. now the ''console'' (not the games) started freezing. and i cant turn it off by hitting the power button, i have to unplug it.Unfortunately, it will have Rrod again. Red rings of death is the only reason that i hesitate to buy a new 360 instead of a playstation 3, which has great exclusives like God of war 3, metal gear solid 4, resistance 2, heavy rain, final fantasy XIII versus etc). however; we must all be aware of the fact that the playstation is way more powerful then the 360.(i am not implying that the ps3 is better then the 360 in any way.)BUT the 360 has the funner, cooler applications to check out. And with the upcoming PROJECT NATAL, microsoft will wipe sony out for a while in the market. PS motion control is not as improved as natal ''motion control'' is only one of the dozen things that natal provides.-

---BOTH CONSOLES have their ups and downs.---
Xbox 360 has more malfunctions and hardware problems, however,this does not mean it is better then the Playstation 3. 360 online service, XLMP content, MP experience and the awesome exclusives aren't something that you should miss.
Shortly, i would prefer to buy a 360 elite instead of a PS3 IF such problems as Rrod occured.
But with these malfunctions and hardware problems of 360, it just makes it harder to decide whether if i should buy a 2nd one or not.

Please state your opinions about this topic. :)

#1 Is Wii A Console For Kids?

wii

I already have made a post of this to the forums.

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26935942

First of all, i am getting sick of seeing people who send posts claiming that the Wii is for kids and that only kids should buy it...

It may have not drawn the attention of ''hardcore gamers'' but it still is a recreation console for players of all ages.

Another reason why people don't like Wii's is the control system. (The Wii Remote and the Nunchuck) Oldschoolers prefer controllers.

I also don't understand people claiming that the Wii games are childish.

-House of the dead: Overkill

-Dead Space: Extraction

-Resident Evil (Games.(Umbrella Chronicles, Resident evil 4, Darkside Chronicles)

-Red Steel 1/2

-No More Heroes

ETC

Are these game childish? No they are not.
