Video Game Systems


Xbox 360

The Xbox 360 system five star quality system according to our review. It has many pros and cons.
While the system is very fun to play and has great graphics, it is the most risky system in terms of reliability. If you leave the system on overnight it has a great risk to burning out. Many people have gotten "The Red Rings of Death". If you turn the system while it is running, it will scratch the game inside. It has more glitches than the original Xbox, and was very badly manufactured.
While the system was manufactured badly, if the system you have runs normal, then it's very fun to play. It has great graphics, especially on an HDTV. The games are all very good with graphics and game play. It has the best online play of all the systems. The 360 is also a media player. Hooking up a zune and listening to music or watching a movie is very fun and enjoyable. You can also download or store movies onto the system. The 360 game play and media over powers the cons and gives the 360 a five star review out of five stars.

Nintendo Wii

Whether you like the Nintedo Wii or not depends on what kind of video gamer you are. If you like the shooting games or sports games with amazing game play and graphics, the Wii is not for you. If you are a simple video gamer and think the Wii's cool controls and abilities sound cool, the Wii is for you. Being an owner of both a Nintendo Wii and a Xbox 360, I tend to rarely have time to play my Wii with all of the good games the 360 has, and all of the not so great games the Wii has. The Wii lacks all of the great games that the 360 has, but makes up for it with all of the original Nintendo hits such as Mario.
The Wii has a very unique way of controlling what you do in the game. It uses a sensor that picks up the motions you are doing with the controller and puts it into the game. For example if you are playing a baseball game, to swing the bat you have to swing the Wii remote like a bat..Pretty cool stuff.
Although the Wii lacks graphics and quality games, it makes up for it with the neat motion activities. The Wii gets a 3 1/2 stars for me.

PSP

The PSP, made by Sony, is a very good portable gaming device. The PSP has many Pros and Cons.
Pros
  • The PSP has graphics that are just as good as the graphics that you see on the ps2 (very good for a portable system).
  • The PSP has an easy to use Internet browser built in.
  • The PSP is a pretty capable music player.
  • The PSP has pretty much the same game selection as the PS3
Cons
  • Although the games and graphics are good on the PSP, the loading time can get very annoying.
  • The PSP is a portable system, but heavier then most hand held systems you can buy.
  • Although the PSP is a capable music player, it is definitely no Ipod.
The PSP is one of the best portable gameing system out there, I give it 4.8/5 stars.
