It seems Nintendo has had an incredible boost since the release of nintendo wii a year ago. Nintendo may some good decisions early on by setting a good price for the wii console. Sony and microsoft have been decreasing their prices
to compete with wii. Due to the continued demand for a nintendo wii console they have not had to decrease their price but you can see the wii console prices increasing in places like ebay. But for those who desperately want a wii , they will pay the price.
In my research, I have noticed online searched for nintendo wii have decreased. I am sure this is a result of all the reports of the nintendo wii not being in stock. It has been very frustrating for the consumer. There always seems to be one or two items that you just can't seem to get your hands on for Christmas. I am sure everyone remembers the cabbage patch and tickle me Elmo frenzies. So what are you to do if you can't find a nintendo wii? I still suggest you shop online, I have consistenly found retailers having it in stock (below). If you prefer to shop
locally instead and it appears nintendo may not be able to reach production needed to meed the demand, what next?
Maybe you should consider a nintendo ds or ds lite. It really is a great alternative, although not on the same technology. One advantage to the nintendo ds is that it is portable. You can take it anywhere. If you live in Japan you can actually watch tv on your ds or ds lite. 4 million orders were placed for the software that allows users to watch tv on their ds. Sorry , no plans for ds tv outside of Japan. This is because the standard for broadcasts in only used in japan. I fear if that was released here, we would once again be facing shortages as with the wii
consoles.
So what features make the ds so attractive? LCD screens with incredible resolution, can display 260,000 colors, built in wifi capability to play over the internet, backwards compatible with the gameboy advance library,embedded chat software for up to 16 users per room, simulated surround sound and full stereo, built in microphone with voice recognition and rechargable lithium battery. Wow, packs a powerful punch for such a small device. Boy has technology really changed since the orignal gameboy. Another benefit is that when it is closed it is small enough to fit in your pockets without weighing them down. Let's see you try to fit a wii console in your pocket.
Another consideration in your handhelds is the battery life. You can get around 8 to 9 hours of continuous play before recharging. The great thing about lithium batteries is that they don't build memory. Nintendo ds also has full 3-D capabilities which will look even better than the nintendo 64. It has incredible simulated surround sound and the sound is very clear and loud. The quality is much better than on the gameboy advance.
How does ds lite compare? It has a sleeker smaller design and bigger stylus. The screen is also brighter and makes it stand out as the best handheld around. Rearrangement of the buttons has proven to make gameplay more comfortable.
It is also reported that it has longer battery life. Based on many reviews, they all state it is worth the price. Most are stating they prefer the new ds lite to the original ds device. It just takes it to a higher level.
So I hope this is enough information that can help you make a better decision if you are tired of searching for your nintendo wii console and don't want to buy the wii online. You can see that portable devices like nintendo ds and ds lite are becoming more popular for hardcore gamers and kids alike. It is the perfect entertainment for those long car trips. Whether you purchase a wii or ds, you will be very happy and who knows you might just decide on both.

Download Game Onto Iphone
By Robert Bell
If you are looking to download games onto your shiny new Iphone, there are a few things you will need-the first is a computer with a net connection, the second is the lead that came with your Iphone to connect to your computer. If you're an Ipod veteran, these processes will be familiar, but if not, the rest of this article will show you how.
A piece of technology like the Iphone can have a huge impact on your life, especially if you aren't used to the wonders of portable multimedia. Many people don't know that you can use your Iphone to play games with, and you don't even necessarily need to download them first-because of the Iphone's internet browser, you can find games online that are browser based-this means all you do is point the web browser at the correct page, and you are ready to play.
Games like that are the exception though, and if you really want to play the latest cutting edge stuff you really will need to download something. To do this, you will need a computer with an internet connection-the spec of the computer isn't too vital, as long as it isn't ancient, and the same goes for the internet, although the faster your connection, the easier and faster it is to download things.
Once you have everything ready to go, the final piece of the puzzle is knowing where to download the games from. For the last few years, P2P sites and torrent sites have been the main places that web downloaders seem to use, but this is not really a smart option any more. Number 1, it's illegal, and Number 2 sites like that are hangouts for hackers and other people who you really don't want to give access to your computer. It's much easier these days for the authorities to track people who are making illegal downloads, so I'd really encourage you to think twice.
As a safer alternative, there are a few different download sites springing up recently. These are a lot safer, and work by having you pay a one off fee to join, and then giving you access to their download database. The downloads are modern, fast, and safe, and your payment will usually cover you for life, meaning you pay once and download forever. Seems like a pretty cool arrangement to me.
I'm hoping this article has shed some light on the subject of Iphone game downloads for you. Happy exploring!

Xbox 360 Bundle Deals - The Cheapest Way To Buy
By Karen Bennett
Xbox 360 bundles are complete packages that include the console, and one or more games and/or extra peripherals - every thing you need to allow you to take your console home and get started right away.
When you buy your new Xbox 360, whether it's an Elite, Premium or core version, it's a good idea to consider buying it as a bundle deal. There are several reasons why this would be of benefit to the buyer. Buying an Xbox 360 as a bundle will enable you to plug in and play right away instead of having the task of deciding on a suitable game/games to buy afterwards, and perhaps shopping around for the cheapest prices if bought separately. This adds to the time and hassle spent on the buying process.

In addition, an Xbox 360 bundle will also give you a great start to building your library of games.
Buying everything individually from a retail store can be a costly business so it pays to shop around and compare prices. There are many large retail companies selling Xbox 360 bundles, each competing for your business and perhaps reducing their price by a few pounds to get the sale. This kind of competitiveness is good for the customer. You can find many Xbox 360 bundles online and more often than not, cheaper than retail and highstreet prices. Online stores are a good place to find bargains as they do not have the costly overheads to cover as with physical stores, so great savings can be found.
When a new video games console is first released, there is a lot of hype surrounding it. Prices are at their highest and consoles are often sold as a bundle with new exciting games to entice the buyer. A few months down the line prices start to fall a little and bundle deals get better so you get more for your money. New upgrades of the console de-value the previous versions allowing you to get even better value for money so sometimes it pays to wait.

The Nintendo DS Lite
By Karen Bennett
The Nintendo DS Lite is one sleek device that packs a lot of punch. Ever since it was released, it has come in several color variations such as enamel navy, ice blue, and crystal white. Of course, there are the more traditional hues of black and white. The creative colors and sleek looks are not the only strong factors of DS Lite. Rather, the features are pretty unique and overwhelming.
The Nintendo DS Lite is recognizable as a handheld game console with dual screen. Its predecessor, the Nintendo DS was modified, made lighter, designs were improved and voila, the Lite was born. All these improvements seemed to have worked too because a more and more are appreciating the sleeker, feature-filled design. In fact, Nintendo have sold above twenty eight and a half million units!
So, here comes the moment of truth. What are the features of Nintendo DS Lite that has contributed to such high consumer demands? First off, the device is more than capable enough of accepting Wi-Fi signals. Such signals will be originating from other DS Lite systems out there as well as from other Wi-Fi access areas, Nintendo Wii, and from Nintendo's original DS.
Weighing at 218 grams, Nintendo DS Lite measures at 5.24 x 2.9 x 0.85 inches. Compared to its predecessor, the original DS, Lite has a more extended battery lifespan. 15 - 19 hours battery life can be expected from a 3-hour charging of the 1000 mAh battery.
The LCD screens of the Nintendo DS Lite are certainly more durable this time and a lot brighter. There are four brightness levels. The stylus is larger than the original DS thus allowing better grip. The top hinge is definitely stronger and more resistant to shock.
The Nintendo DS Lite is also built with device protection in mind. This is evident by the filter cartridge that is complimentary to the device allowing for a more seamless surface. Plus, debris, and dust particles are now effectively kept out. Its bottom is protected by black plastic that prevents the accumulation of grease. The Game Boy Advance games are now protruding out by 1 cm due to design modifications but this has not affected the playability of the games at all.
The Nintendo DS Lite also has built-in microphone, switch and other original DS features placed in better, strategic positions to maximize device usage. In every facet, Nintendo made DS Lite better!

Nintendo Wii and Wii Sports - Good for fitness in children?
By Karen Bennett ]
The Nintendo Wii it seems, puts pay to the concerns in recent years over the inactivity in children due to their interest in video games consoles. The Wii console really sets itself apart from the rest with its revolutionary motion sensitive controller, which actually requires movement in order to play the games.
The Nintendo Wii comes with the game Wii Sports, which includes tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing. In tennis you'll be swinging the remote as if it were a tennis racket and flicking it up to toss the ball into the air with a quick swing to serve just like the real thing. The other Wii Sports games work in a similar way simulating controller movements for like movements onscreen. Boxing however is the only Wii Sports game that uses the nunchuk attachment and is the most physically exhausting game of them all. In order to hit your opponent in the head or body, you will have to aim high or low with your swings. There are three different activities with each game. In training mode, you'll participate in random challenges, after which you will be assigned a fitness age, based on your performance. Sound familiar? The Nintendo DS game, Brain Training comes to mind...a physical version perhaps?
The important thing here is that gamers are becoming more physically active without even realising it - you could say it has a 'kill two birds with one stone' effect, combining video game play with physical activity. Given this 'physical' nature of the Wii game play, who would be suprised if parents rushed out to buy the Nintendo Wii console just to get their kids off the sofa?
Another great thing about the Nintendo Wii is that it appeals not only to children and teens but to adults too so its something the whole family can enjoy.
Could the Nintendo Wii revolutionize the way we play video games in the future? It will be interesting to see what Nintendo's competitors come up with next - this could be a tough one to beat!

The Best Place For Free Online Games
By I C
After browsing the web for several hours trying to come up with the best online entertainment sites it is clear that there is only a handful of them and the places which claim to have thousands only have a few dozens on each category. Today's online gaming sites have grown in popularity because unlike stand alone gaming consoles they can provide thousands of games for free instead of having to buy each game individually, which would quickly grow to thousands of dollars.
The best sources have two kinds of games, those based on Java platforms and those based on flash platforms, in order to get these games going all that is necessary is to have an updated browser, if not the only requirement is to download the indicated browser extension from a trusted web site such as Java. These games are also available for download so that they can be played even while you are off-line which results rather helpful for those who want to play for hours and are using a dial up connection.
There are several categories which can grab your attention, but among the many games available the are a few which are quite challenging despite their basic and childish appearance. One of these games is called "Puzzle Bobble" under the "classic" games category. As you can imagine this is somewhat of an interactive puzzle in which you have to match bubbles according to their colors to eliminate groups of bubbles with similar colors, it is sort of similar to Tetris where you have to match the shape to the one found at the base of the cubes, and just like Tetris if you run out of time and the pieces keep coming down the game is over.
There are a few important things to remember in order to successfully advance to the many levels this game has, the first one is that the roof starts to collapse and get closer to your "bubble launcher" every approximately every 10 seconds so you want to keep shooting as fast and accurately as possible in order to match the colors and clean the cluttered bubbles the other one is "just like in Tetris" the next bubble and its color is displayed in the bubble launcher to help you figure out where you should aim the next one to clear some columns.
After advancing 5 levels you will find it rather challenging and if you have a couple of ours you might advance to the seventh or ninth level where things start to get very complicated, so if you are a Tetris fan you are sure to love this game in particular. Asides from tricky bubbles there are many other categories which may appeal to your tastes such as action, war, battle, hunting, arcade, mature, simulation, TV show, strategy, pinball, role playing, racing and many others, but keep in mind that you should keep track of your time because these games are so addictive you will find it easy to spend an hour or two on these sites.

PlayStation Portable (PSP)
By Jacob Marshal
PlayStation Portable, as its name suggests, is an easy-to-carry game console, which has redefined the whole concept of computer gaming.

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Wii)
By Jacob Marshal
The Umbrella Chronicles is not merely mindless shooting, it is a storyline that finally exposes what happens to the devious Umbrella Corporation. The predominantly first-person view of the camera takes you through the eerie locales. You will need a Wii remote to play Umbrella Chronicles because the action is auto-choreographed and pre-set for you. Point the Wii remote at your television screen and blast zombies.
The genre is like this. SEGA has House of the Dead and Capcom itself has Resident Evil - the Dead Aim. In The Umbrella Chronicles you will survive only if you kill with speed and accuracy. The camera takes dramatic 180-degree turns to showcase speedy Crimsons. It slowly peeks around corners to reveal shambling zombies to you. It takes you through the mansion in a cinematic fashion. It wobbles up and down to give you a feeling that your character is really running.
The Wii remote offers you a pixel-perfect shooting accuracy. Button A picks up items and chooses paths while button B is your trigger. Press it to shoot - that simple! Press button A to counter the attack of the hordes of zombies. The camera will pan back at this moment to reveal your character send a powerful kick their way, knocking them down. Your reticule decreases in size when you hold it over a zombie's face for a longer period. Smaller the reticule, better will be your chances to pull a single-shot head explosion.
The Umbrella Chronicles is not entirely new to those who have played through the survivor horror franchise's many offerings. It takes you back into a mansion, on board the train and into the police station before you finally get to Umbrella's stronghold. The game focuses on the point, shoot and aim feature of the Resident Evil franchise. Chris Redfield, Billy Coen, Rebecca Chambers and Carlos Oliveira are the dominant characters of this electronic game. They have different abilities and possess their own unique weapons.

How to download and play free arcade games
By Robert Bell
The arcade games business has grown rapidly during the last couple of years and is still expanding quiet quickly. Nowadays the arcade games are also known as causal games. The so called games for non-hardcore gamers have seen a surge in sales when Nintendo Wii came out. With its user-friendly controller and a $249 price tag, it’s a booming success. For example, on the week of Thanksgivings (the so called Black Friday 7 day holiday), Nintendo has sold more than a million of Wii’s.
With the Wii, you can actually play free online games. Just point your browser to http://playedonline.com and use your Wiimote as the mouse in hundreds of awesome flash based games. It’s really surprising how unintentionally Nintendo made a console that can handle so much.
First of all, it is a gaming console that allows you to play games using motion sensing technology. Then it has all these neat community tools that let you create a 3D Avatar and use it in your games. These avatars are also how people see you while playing online games. On top of that, there are several Channels that let you read news and watch weather forecasts.
But the best feature of all for arcade lovers is the web browser. It support full YouTube integration and lets you play pretty much any Flash Media. Meaning that you can play flash movies and games.
Here’s what you need to do:
Launch your Wii, press the Opera Browser button.
Once loaded, point it to http://playedonline.com
There, use the Wiimote to navigate through the different menus and whatnot, find your favorite genre. With flash based games these are usually Strategy, Shooting, Puzzle, Arcade, Sports and Adventure genres, but from time to time you see something totally unique and exciting.
Now, when you’ve decided what to play, simply click on the name of the game. It will start loading automatically. Please be patient as sometimes it takes a while for these fairly large files to load.
Also, the Wii’s browser is a bit outdated right now, so don’t be too terrified if a game doesn’t run. You can always try another one. And remember – you can play online games for free here! So by not paying anything, you don’t really lose anything, right?
The other thing about playing arcade games on the Wii is that using the Wiimote it becomes a very emerging experience, even with the cartoonish graphics. And considering that most of these games require you to only make a single click, it’s a great way to simply get away from it all. And you also bump up your arm when swinging the Wiimote.
Although you can easily play all of these free arcade games on your PC. And they are just as good on that “platform”. But Kudos to Nintendo for bringing free arcade entertainment to the living room – if only there was more innovation amongst other games hardware developers.

Free Online Games
By Robert Bell
So it’s another lonely day at the office, when you really just sit around and do nothing. You’re on a corporate PC that has everything locked – no music, no movies, nothing. All you have is your web browser and you want to download free games. Don’t despair, there is a way.
With the evolution of flash technology, games are now available in your web browser. All you have to do is type in playedonline.com and voila – endless arcade game entertainment. Most addictive online games are usually strategy games, as they eat up your time by making you think – not just do mindless button mashing. Is that a good thing? Probably. It sure beats degrading yourself with pointless shooters (but those are also fun).
The most popular game on playedonline is Tetris. And make no mistake, Tetris isn’t dead. It’s just one of those games that’s so addictive, you can spend countless hours trying to beat your previous record. And while it seems like a pointless arcade game, it actually demands as much thought as a strategy game – but with very limited reaction time.
There are also more complex games, such as Invasion 3. This game allows you to build and upgrade soldiers and archers. You can create battering rams, call in the cavalry and use bombers and cannons to destroy the enemy castle. Lots of fun, but demands a fair amount of strategy involved.
If you’re the medieval type of guy, there’s always a game called Age of Castles. It literally allows you to build your own castle. You recruit workers that do the actual building, train soldiers that defend your sanctuary and get merchants to start trading, expanding and conquering the world.
But as games tend to get more and more… simple, the most interesting games are usually not what you would expect. Two years ago a game called “Penguin Swing” came out. It was an incredible hit. All you do is press a single button 2 times. First you press it to let the penguin drop down, and while he falls, you have to time your swing and slam him with a bat so that he flies to the side of the screen. Depending on your timing, his “flight” distance will differ. The trick is to get the longest distance possible. Another trick is to land him on various boosts that make him fly even further. This game doesn’t have much interaction at all, so after 2 clicks you just hope to get the longest distance. But hey, it’s entertaining to slam a penguin with a bat and see how long he flies.

Monster Hunter Freedom 2 Sony PlayStationPortable Guide
By Samual Ennis
A new title comes out for the Sony PlayStation Portable ? Monster Hunter Freedom. If you are the adventure- and action-seeking kind of gamer, then Monster Hunter is your best choice for a game to enjoy. Because it is an RPG, you can expect that this is going to be a really exciting experience for the gamer, particularly with the amount of morbidity and thrill to go along with it. Youre a wannabe monster hunter. Your character will be placed in a world inhabited by medieval peasants. Here, your main objective is to take down all of the home town's fauna with tremendous fierceness.
After starting up Monster Hunter Freedom, you will have the option to customize your own character in this game through the various avatars that you can select from. After that, you go into the specifics of your character's different features like hair, face, skin color, among others.
At the beginning of the story, and living up to the role playing genre, you wake up in your bed. While doing this, you should be able to find shops there and you can check them out as well. And while you're doing this, you can look over some shops where you can uncover missions to join in and complete.
After visiting the various shops in town, you can now move on to the guild where you can find the best action there is. There you will meet village elders who will take you through tutorial missions ? you may also get tutorial missions from the elders. But wait, this isn't really just a mere tutorial mission ? they are in fact real missions!
For your first few missions, you will find that they can be surprisingly very easy. In fact, they can be a bit boring for any gamer looking for some hardcore action. But the key here is patience, to ensure that you go through these missions while learning the skills necessary to surviving your future missions.
Your first chance at facing up to a real challenge comes in the form of an outraged enemy! Also, there's some creepy looking monster that's lurking around and might just be waiting for a chance to get at you!
It's hard to maintain your monster enemies within range of your eyesight mainly because of the angle of the camera. It can also be annoying trying to take on all these evil monsters with the controls. To help you get over a potentially tricky situation, you might want to use some speed over your opponents.
And aside from your tremendous speed, you also have four weapons at your disposal: a crossbow, a sword, a hammer, and a lance. Eventually, as you move up higher through your missions, you'll be able to use better weapons and your combat skills will also have been improved greatly.
Without needing to mention the game controls and camera for this game, Monster Hunter Freedom on the PSP promises to be one hell of a great game for those looking for combat unlike they've seen before!

Professional Video Game Testing- What Are The Benefits?
By Sean Saunders
Everyday lots and lots of gamers are discovering the wonderful opportunity of being a professional video game tester. If you play video games often, are quite good at them, and have average writing/communication skills, then you should consider a career as a professional video game tester. In this article, I will tell you about some of the benefits that come with paid video game testing.
Let's start with the obvious benefits -- you get to do something you're already doing and you get paid for it. In complete honestly, testing a video game is not as enjoyable as just playing it. You have to have an eye for detail and extreme amounts of patience; otherwise, it would be virtually impossible to minutely explore all aspects of the video game. But then again, you are still getting paid to play video games; so it can't all be bad, right? As a matter of fact, you could probably bet money that video game testing is more than likely 90% better than any of the other jobs that are currently available to you.
Another great perk is that you will get to play advanced versions of unreleased video games. This basically means you get your hands on the latest hot new game before any other gamer or critic will. Also, your honest feedback can literally result in changes made to the game prior to it's release. Therefore, when the game is finally released, you can tell your friends and family that you were responsible for changing and improving certain aspects of the game. Won't they be impressed?
One of the best perks is, of course, the fact that you get the video games for free. Imagine how quickly you could build up your library with different video games; and you would have done it just by testing each of them. So, when the job is over & done with, you get to keep the game and play it whenever you like. Sounds like a pretty great bonus, right?
Another decent advantage to being a video game tester is that you get your hands on cheat codes, secrets of the levels, and other tricks that only game testers are privy to. This means that when the game is released to the public, you can totally dominate your friends in head-to-head competitions. They won't know what hit 'em.
Another point you should consider is that by becoming a video game tester, you develop a deeper appreciation for video games as a whole. You get to see the different aspects of the video game industry and how it operates as a whole; how a game is developed, how it's marketed, and how it is tweaked and improved upon in the various stages.
There you have it. 5 key benefits that accompany a career in professional video game testing. While there may be some work involved, the alternative would be to work as a slave for someone else for something you never liked doing in the first place. Don't try to fool yourself, a career as video game tester is what you have wanted all along!
