...is at all, check out the laws in your country or territory-it's really not worth going to jail over a few games is it?

Another good idea is to be careful of the websites you use. As internet usage and popularity increases, so too does the number of hackers and spammers etc looking for access to your system. It's very important to keep your system up to date with the latest versions of your anti-virus and firewall software for this very reason. You can also minimize the risk here by steering clear of shady sites, and only using the best and most reputable (more on this later). It will be hard to download xbox 360 games if your computer gets ruined by some hacker!

Playstation 3 Review

... come out are graphically parallel to the Xbox 360, despite being only first generation. However the games that are of any interest tend to be ports from the Xbox which is pretty bad. Things are slowly smoothing out though, sales are getting closer to that annoying white block Nintendo calls a console.

What amazes me is that Sony are rumored to have terrible software development kits and this makes it harder for the 3rd party developers to make games for them. THQ recently announced that some games for the PlayStation 3 will have better graphics than the Xbox 360, this carries about as much weight as saying the Xbox is made by microsoft. It's obvious and inevitable as 3rd parties continue to improve their knowledge of the super console. Games which will cause sales surges are coming out in the near future including MGS4, GT5, Little Big Planet, Home (despite not being a game) and GTA4 (although this is not exclusive). I am expecting some killer new games to be out to take the wind out of even the mighty Wii. So the square wheel is starting to smooth out, with the year of the PlayStation 3 upon us then we may be seeing a new king to the console war, knocking the Wii off its long held platform with its rather annoying exercise games.

Conclusion: This large, stylish powerhouse is gaining momentum, despite having square wheels. In theory this is going to be a big year for the PlayStation 3, a spokesperson has officially announced there will be no price cuts in the near future, more downloadable content and a rather bold content from Sony saying that the year 2008 is the "key year" for the PlayStation 3 and that in this year we will see "everything that we've got" looks like Sony has some big things planned. With MGS4, GT5 making a possible appearance, Little Big Planet, Home and many other exciting exclusives the PlayStation 3 may just have one hell of a year and may have the legendary "Out of Stock" status which has been here with Sony's other two consolesmore

The Console War

...e games make it a good choice for gamers who just want a bit of fun every so often and dont have pockets lined with gold. The Wii only comes in one color so far in the UK which is a shame because the black one looks somewhat better than its dreary white counterpart we have to buy from our shops.

Moving on we have the Xbox 360, aimed more at a mid range of gamers, it has many bangy bangy explodey games, a few puzzle-o-rama's and one or two games which younger players can appreciate. Its appearance however is a bit bland. It doesn't have a shiny exterior like the Wii and Playstation 3 and is therefore similar in appearance to a toaster with a big power button. It has a huge catalog of games available since it has been out for some time now and the graphics are reaching the Xbox's best so the games are looking great at the moment. Unfortunately the backwards compatibility isn't great, most of the old Xbox games don't appear to work well, if at all, no matter if played on the Elite or premium packages. This is a shame because there were a few Xbox exclusive games which would be good to play on the 360 including Half-life 2, psychonauts and Project Gotham racing. I'm not quite sure if those games work or not but i daren't try it because i don't have an Xbox 360 to try it on and also the 360 tends to be temperamental about whether it works or not, and someone having the balls to play an Xbox or 360 title on it may have to send it away to a repair shop because it blows up in a big ring of red LED heaven. Yes the 360 has proved unreliable and I'm lead to believe that the failure rate of the 360's has been a massive 65% which by anyone's standards is way to damn high. Also because it doesn't feature Blu-ray disks (yet) the games are taken up by high quality graphics and there is little room left for movies, storyline or other things quite essential to a game. It has some old technology about it, more so than the DVD format games. An ejecting disk tray which is easy to snap, no rechargeable batteries unless bought separate...more

Action and Adventure Games

...ure and action games found online are PC based and only few are console based. Most adventure ones are fetch-based where the main character performs acts of benevolence, such as rescuing people, freeing prisoners, animals etc. Sometimes, they also undertake impossible voyages. In games like Return to Zork, the main character has to return to the original place or else his game stops there unfinished.

The adventure games were very popular in the 1980's, but with the introduction of the action games people became crazier about such games. However, popular adventure games like Syberia and Syberia...more
