112 Helpfuls 113 Helpfuls

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.

byyakkowarner Jan 7, 2007

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 »

Pros no other gaming handheld does more.

Cons Its a jack of all trades and master of none. Needs an update pronto.

Recommended it? Yes

This review is a Hardware review of the current Playstation Portable console (configuration: PSP3000)

The PSP 3000 differs from the PSP 2000/1000 in that it has a new (and improved !) LCD screen as well as a built in microphone. A Lesser talked about detail is the fact the system has... Read full review »

Pros Large Library PSOne and Minis are playable on PSP and PS3 ...

Cons Downloadable Comic Books Need to buy an 8GB memory card

Recommended it? Yes

Just like the Playstation 3, the PSP (Playstation Portable) has seen its share of hardware upgrades. The PSP 3000 is the third in the line of PSPs. Before I go further, if you already own a PSP 2000 or the original model, you may as well stick with it. The PSP 3000 offers minor technical... Read full review »
