The Nintendo Wii: - Does the Revolution Live Up to the Hype?

Pros Decent Library of Games, Fantastic List of Upcoming Titles, Unique Features, Innovative...

Cons Weaker Graphical Capabilities Than the Other Consoles, Many Bad Games

Recommended it? Yes

The word 'revolution' in itself is a very powerful term - something so massive in scale that it has the power to change the way we see something. This is why I was expecting big things from Nintendo when they codenamed their next console the 'Revolution' in it's early conception. You see, they... Read full review »

Nintendo Wii: Gaming brought to a whole new level.

Pros Innovative gameplay, Plays GameCube games, emulates older games, small.

Cons Maximum display is 480p, the controls still need a little tweaking.

Recommended it? Yes

Nintendo has always tried to be an innovator with gaming in the console world. A lot of their stuff have been flops from the very beginning. Remember the robot that originally came with the system? Virtual boy was a cool idea but the market just wasn't ready for it yet. The glove (which could be... Read full review »

Say Yes to DS(i)

bydisinclined Oct 26, 2009

Pros New camera/MP3/photo-editing tools; small but handy design tweaks.

Cons Matte finish is somewhat icky and dirt-prone; not worth an upgrade for Lite owners.

Recommended it? Yes

As much as I’d like to be a hip, edgy early adopter, I’ve come to accept that that’s not really who I am at heart.

I absolutely love my new DSi. We are a family of 4 and each one of us has our own DSi. It is great to play multiplayer games such as Mario Bros, sims racing, Mario cart etc. Perfect because as long as you are in the same area you can connect your DSi's...no need for internet... Read full review »
