grenmse says "Lots of play value and nice graphics." about PSP - final fantasy 7 crisis core

grenmse — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:58:47 GMT

Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core for the Playstation Portable (PSP) follows the story of Zack, a character mentioned but never really seen in the beloved Final Fantasy VII game for the Playstation. You can make sense of this game even if you are not familliar with the Final Fantasy seven story but you will miss out on the backstory and origins of some of the characters. The game takes place several years before the events of Final Fantasy seven and you play as Zack, a hyperactive young member of Soldier. An elite unit that protects the shady Shinra Electric Corporation's interests.

The graphics and sound for this game are quite good on the PSP and there are decent voiceovers for the characters. If you are a fan of Final Fantasy seven you might miss the ability to level up your materia to mondo levels, or have trouble with getting used to the battle system but then the game really is a stand alone with a different play system. It is possible to create materia once Zack becomes a Level one member...

sarahtaylor513 says "Xbox 360 is overrated." about Xbox 360 - xbox 360 console small hard drive

sarahtaylor513 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:35:01 GMT

My husband wanted an xbox 360 for Christmas last year. so I researched for days an what to get him. I got a refurbished by microsoft. They assured me that it would work and not tear up. We got it and started playing it. It looked great on our high definition tv. It worked great for two weeks. Then we got the three rings of death. It no longer works. We paid alot of money to have it and then it goes and tears up on us.I have called around asking if there is someone who could fix it. They want as much as a good used one would cost. It is just a money pit. I would not get another one. Maybe becausei just got a bad one but I am not the only one who have had the three rings of death. I think microsoft was in too big of a hurry to get it on the shelves that they did not get all the bugs out of it. If it works right then it would be a great product but i have not had a good experience with it. but if it does tear up then you could find a quick fix on you tube:)

William2 says "The playstation3 is much better than the Xbox 360." about Playstation 3

William2 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:18:00 GMT

The playstation 3 is probably the most amazing thing ever. The quality of this console really amazes me. I can do it all. The biggest thing about it is that you do not have to pay for playing online. Personally I have Call Of Duty 4 and it is a great way for me to socailize with other people and my friends. Blu-Ray is another big plus sign for the playstation 3. Also you can watch videos on youtube at anytime. Well quite frankly I do not think that people should have to pay 50 dollars every 13 months to play online. The playstation network is a positive because it is like have a movie store and a game store in your house. Another thing that is good is the amount of memory that you can get for the gaming system. A bad thing about the playstation 3 is that it is priced so highly. Games have great quality but do not have a good price tag on them. If I had the choice to pick between a PS3 and a XBOX 360 I would choose the PS3.

asinatra says "Fun and Easy Workout! " about wii - Wii - Fit

asinatra — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:59:21 GMT

I was eager to buy the Wii but waited quite a while due to the price. Compared to otehr game systems, the Wii is affordable. However, it is still not in everyone's ideal budget. After deciding to make the purchase, I also purcahsed the Wii Fit system.

The Wii Fit system is super easy to use and customize. The fit challenge is also fun. The only thing I do not like is the running feature. It is hard to get in the right balance while running in place and the Wii remote can act too spastically. I think the Wii Fit would benefit from special arm band sensors instead.

There are a lot of games on the Wii Fit also. I ended up working out for an hour without even realizing it! The variety of workouts is also great. Most importantly, the Wii helps you find the correct posture and strenghten your balancing skills. It is also cool that the Wii Fit will monitor your weight loss/gain and give you pointers. If yo uwant to lose weight the fun way, then skip the gym membership and buy this instead.

hubbellbubbell says "Xbox 360 is an amazing product " about Xbox 360 - xbox 360 console

hubbellbubbell — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:24:48 GMT

x box 360 is an amazing product! I love that the kids can choose their own Avatars. They have a lot of fun changing hair, clothes, make up, and accessories. I also love that their are a lot of games for younger girls. They love kung fu panda, and acutally my husband and i loke it as well. My husband rocks out to guitar hero on a daily bases. anothe think that i think is soooo savy is that we can actaully play our family pictures right no the screen from your computer. We have also signed up for net flix which alows us to stream movies right on our tv, which is great. We both recently got into a car accident and haven't been able to work out at the gym but net flix has yofa for inguries available for a play now option. so not only is my xbox good for entertainment, but it is also helping me get back in shape. Xbox gives me the most out of my net flix membership. We don't have cable to we watch all of our shows on netflix.

ericagibson2007 says "New and fun." about Playstation 3 - Playstation 3 80 gig

ericagibson2007 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:13:21 GMT

I got my Playstation 3 last Christmas. It was pretty pricey at the time, but they have come down to 299 at my local wal-mart. Everything about the newest playstation is pretty cool. You can get on the internet with it (hook it up to an internet cable, and you can use it like you would a computer, only without the mouse and keyboard), you can download games, music, movies, and pictures to it. You can get wireless controllers, and it has some pretty amazing graphics. One thing I don't like to much about the playstation 3 is that there aren't as many games as all of the other game consoles. There were only a few that I would play. It's mostly games for guys. Action, killing, racing, and things of that nature, but if you're a guy and you enjoy that stuff, its definately worth the money. I liked it alot, but unfortunately it has gotten pretty boring to me. I would rather play silly, fun games. So I'm selling mine.

aje1012009 says "I love the X-BOX 360 elite" about Xbox 360 - X-Box 360 Elite

aje1012009 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:30:02 GMT

I love the X-BOX 360 elite. It has awsome graphics even when not using a high deffinition TV but I recomend using a high deff. It deffinitly improves the gameplay. There are tons of games no matter what type of gammer you are or what you are into. You can fully moddify the system and change the face plates and skins, That is deffinitly a plus. The elite has plenty of storage for your games. Detail is awsome. The games can get expensive but are worth it. I am big into sports games and it makes all the difference when you have the graphics like you do in the X-BOX. It gives you the best of both worlds, It gives you the feeling you are watching the big game but also the ability to make the calls and plays.In my opinion it is the best consol I have ever purchased and I would deffinitly recomend this product to anyone who enjoys playing video games. It is deffinitly worth it to purchase the elite even though it is a little bit more than the arcade simply because of the bigger harddrive.

mvantil says "Wow A great Game for the money!!" about Nintendo - DS Lite Console

mvantil — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:41:25 GMT

I was looking for a game console to buy fo son who is turning 13 this week and I have been looking at all kinds of console to see which one has the best rating and the most games and the longest battery life, So after looking high and low I settled on the Nintendo Ds lite, the price was about 120.00 and that came with a game his favorite Star Wars: The Complete Saga and it came with a Lego Armour case which is going to come in very handy as he drops everything he holds, The Nintendo DS lite is very lightweight and it comes with the a/c house charger, I have been looking for other games and I find they range from 10.00 to 40.00, Which is a very good deal, compared to 50.00 a game for the Playstation 3 games, I also have been seeing lots of accessory for the Nintendo DS lite like ear buds, screen savers and a car charger for about 20.00. I would recommend the Nintendo Ds lite to everyone looking for a nice Christmas gift or Birthday gift for a teen.

buy24me says "Buy Me One Please!" about Nintendo - Wii Gaming System

buy24me — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:29:06 GMT

I have owned the Wii Gaming System for about 1.5 years now. When we first originally got it, there was a huge demand for it and you couldn't find it anywhere. Everytime they had it advertised for the new week, I would know the day before since I would buy the Sunday newspaper on saturday. This way, I would make sure I hit the store that had them and be one of the first in line! This gaming system is truly great. Keep in mind that I do not even like playing video games. My kids enjoy this as much as I do. You get to move along and not just sit there and move your fingers like other gaming systems. There is so much variety in the games offered as well. Not that everyone can afford to buy all the games but the gaming system automatically comes with 9 cames builit into it. Includes games like boxing, bowling, etc. And now the gaming system is much easier to find and sells for $50 less than even a month or two ago. You can buy the gaming system for $199 now. I love the...

alex1614 says "The Wii is extrememlyfun!" about wii - Wii

alex1614 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:07:31 GMT

The Wii is by far one of the best gaming systems I've ever used! Not only can you play thousands of games on it, it also allows you to excersise, use the internet, shop and organize pictures. It's basically a mini computer for your Tv. My mom and I recently bought Wii Fit and EA workout and it's honestly the most fun I've ever had working out, plus it's in your very own home! The other thing I love about it, is it extrememly easy to use, everyone in my family from my nine year old niece to by seventy year old grandparents can use it and have a blast with it. I've played tennis with my grandma because that happens to be her favorite sport and she loves it because I only have to teach how to press ONE button! All the games for it are very interactive, easy to use and bundles and bundles of fun! you can even customize your very own character called a mii! I would really recommend this gaming console for all families it's a great way to spend time together!

destinie3535 says "Love it! And now that the price is reduce, totally worth it!" about Nintendo - Wii

destinie3535 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:30:03 GMT

So I bought my Wii when it was still $249.00. I thought it was a bit pricey, but I have been out of the video game loop for a while ( I'm 31). It came with the sports disc ( with bowling, tennis, gold, boxing, etc). These games are so fun. The golf and tennis ones are so realistic it is incredible. The bosing one had me sweating after two rounds. I went to take a shower and when I came back, my boyfriend had sweat dripping off of him from boxing. This gives a great workout. The aerobics is ok. My only complaint is that each session is only a few minutes and you get all into it and then it's over and you have to re-star the session so you don't get a contiuous workout. But overall, all the games that come with it are great. The other thing I love about the Wii is you can buy these cards for $20 that you can use to download older games onto your console. I got super mario bros 3 and donkly kong country. Definitly love the old school games. Now that the price is less than $200, I would suggest...

thomaste says "Child pleaser" about Sony - PSP

thomaste — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:55:21 GMT

I purchased a Sony PSP over the other gaming systems formost because of the Sony name. My children have loved these gaming systems. I find the games to be inexpensive when compared to the television gaming systems. These handheld systems kept two very active boys occuppied on a long roade trip to the beach this past summer. Accessories like a car charger was very expensive and well worth the money. The system have been dropped too many times to count yet still work so that will attest to their durability. Unfortunately, it did not survive being chewed upon by our Police K-9 when left in his reach. We should show that to anyone who wants to run from him!

picopuerto says "The best Wii game I've ever played" about Nintendo Wii - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

picopuerto — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:36:39 GMT

Amazing game in almost every aspect. The gameplay is made for the Nintendo Wii. It really shows off what the motion controls can do. The World is large and the story carries you through the game very well. It's easy to learn how to wield your sword and learn new attack combinations gradually. The graphics are not nearly as good as games for other modern consoles, but they are the best you can get on the Wii System. I've stayed up many nights trying to just finish the next quest and then being so entralled that I needed to start a new one. The soundtrack is great. It has all the music from the Zelda games I played when I was younger, made all the more vibrant and modern. The two modes of going from human to beast during gameplay is inventive and fun as well. Definitley a must buy title if you own a Nintendo Wii console. There is no mulitplayer component, so once you beat the game, there really is no reason to play it again, uless you've let it go for a couple of months...

JennBash73 says "Excellent product for the whole family" about wii - Wii

JennBash73 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:29:40 GMT

This is an excellent gaming system! We have been a follower of the XBox gaming system and although we still like it and use it this gaming system is much more functional for the whole family. Even the kids can get bored with the games, but on the Wii we can adjust so many aspects that it never seems to get boring. Plus with the whole family playing you can create tournaments, compeitions, etc. Plus it is great to use as a 'motivational' device to get the kids to do chores, etc. We have also moved it several times and it is very simple to move. I am shocked that we have never had any problems with getting the 'remote' to play as it suppose to. The batteries do seem to run out after a good amount of use. We also enjoy the attachments for guitar hero, golf, tennis and paddle ball. We did purchase the 'traditional' game controls for the football (NFL/Madden) but that was a purchase we absolutely did not need! That would be the only thing I would watch out for! Otherwise awesome product!!

worknschoolmom23 says "Chanllenging and fun game" about Nintendo DS - New Super Mario Bros.

worknschoolmom23 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:13:49 GMT

My daughter has a Nintendo DS, and she's always excited to try new games. I grew up playing Mario, so when she bought New Super Mario Bros. with her birthday money, I was just about as excited as she was to try it out!

Similar to the original Mario Bros., you navigate Mario and his buddy Luigi through fun-filled lands to save the princess. There are some classics, like the mushroom that makes you grow bigger but there are also some new twists. A tiny blue mushroom will make you smaller and very lightweight. There is also a jumbo mushroom (my daughter calls it mumbo jumbo, but I can't recall the real name of it) that makes Mario huge when he eats it. Mario can stop on everything, bust through walls, knock down tubes, and shake the earth! But hurry, because this only lasts for a short time!

Another cool feature of this game is Mario vs. Luigi. When two DS's are linked together, the opponents can go head to head on various games. Way cool!

bargainbuster says "If you aren't in to the game thing, not worth it" about wii - Wii Console

bargainbuster — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:44:25 GMT

We purchased the Wii over a year ago. When we first got it we played the sports thing (That it came with) a little bit. However, the novelty quickly wore off. Then we purchased the Wii fit and the Dance Dance Party. Both of these games were fun, but again the novelty wore off. In lieu of a gym membership I decided to purchase the E Active (since I already had the console). Did the thirty day workout regime, and it just is NOT the same as going to the gym or getting a real workout another way. I would not buy this item again and will probably resell it because our whole family gets absolutely no use out of this item. (I will say that we aren't video game people, perhaps someone who enjoys video games will get more out of this unit). If I had to choose between a gym membership, going outside and getting some sunshine, or playing in the yard the Wii loses every time. HOWEVER, if you have someone who LOVES video games, but should maybe move around a little more, the Wii wouldn't be a bad option...

INSANECANES says "AWESOME" about Playstation 3 - sony 80 gb playstation 3

INSANECANES — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 06:21:59 GMT

The Sony Playstation 3 is an awesome piece of electronic equipment. It can do some awesome things, like play blue ray disc, movies and games, connect to the internet, and be used as a computer as well as many other things. I have owned every Sony playstation model and love all of the systems they have put out so far, and look forward to any and all future releases. I would not be able to live without it as it is a vital piece of equipment that i use on a daily basis and would not know what to do without it here for my use. I would suggest it to anyone and everyone one I know to purchase it as there are so many different various things that they would be able to use the Sony Playstatuion 3 for whatever they could possibly think of. Plays some awesome games as well as the movies that are available are great for everyone in the family. Have had it for a few years now and am considering adding another one for backup, as we use it on a daily basis and could use a second one here just in case...

Lexer says "The DS Lite is AMAZING!" about Nintendo - Nintendo DS

Lexer — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:16:30 GMT

I first recieved my Nintendo DS Lite about two years ago. The first thing I noticed was that it was way more advanced than my GameBoy Color and Gameboy Advance SP put together. The touch screen continues to fascinate me every time I use it. First of all, when I opened the package, I couldn't take my eyes off it. I was given the Onyx colored DS Lite and was impressed at how shiny and glossy it looked. It's extremelty smooth but doesn't easily fall out of your hand like my previous portable game systems. The next thing I noticed was it's dual screens. They both looked well built and sturdy which was good. A cheap screen would have really dampened my high spirits. Anyway, the screens are just the right size, not too large and not to small. You can see everything pretty clearly. The screens provide enough light to illuminate my entire bedroom in complete darkness which is a plus to those who enjoy playing in the dark. The only things I don't like about the Nintendo DS is that it didn't......
