Hardware Previews in general

Does anyone really care which console is the most successful? Only the games companies and developers themselves will really care. As long as they all have a chance and offer us some great games, then I'm happy. I own a Playstation. It has hundreds of games, but are most of them any good? Well I'd say that around 50 of them are worth buying, but there are far too many games on the console that most games will not succeed. I can tell you that the Playstation has sold 70million units worldwide in 5 years. This isn't a figure to laugh and snigger at. It is an amazing achievement, it's clear that Sony has dominated the ...  Read the complete review

Here it is the Electronic Entertainment Expo we have all been waiting for all year. Finally we'll see who has the best machine. This year was held in Los Angeles. GAMECUBE The Gamecube has got to be the highlight of the E3 show. It completely kicked the Xbox's ass.

I have to inform everyone that my role as a part time gamer is to play games. I don't really care what advertising goes into the game - or who makes the game - I don't really care which format it's on - but as long as the game is good - i.e. There is enough reliable evidence to suggest the game is worth purchasing then I will, providing my financial status is in good steed, purchase the game. At present there are no Playstation2s readily available - and I feel that Sony has betrayed all their devotees and gone and betrayed the whole games industry - OK so the PS2 has DVD - but in Japan it is basically seen as a DVD player ONLY - the games ...  Read the complete review

What is the best next generation console to get? Playstation 2, X-box or the game cube. There is no telling how good they are until they all come out. The playstation 2 will do vary well as people liked the playstation 1 so much. The playstation 2 will have a DVD player, but so will the X-box. Microsoft has found many company’s to support the X-box, but people may not like the idea of Microsoft making a console. Metal gear solid 2 will be coming to the Playstation 2, but it’s coming out to the X-box except with the name Metal gear X. There have been rumours of being able to play PC games on the X-Box but this is not true, but it would have been ...  Read the complete review

The GameCube: Nintendo's latest model, a cute box on which one can mess around with the latest Nintendo games and gadgets. I don't know much about the console, but a little bird told me something about the games... Well, as I have heard, the games are said to be released at the sweet sweet price of only £20 each. Not many people believed this, but I am only passing on what I was told, by a reader of the official Nintendo magazine. If Nintendo plan to keep this up, buying the console will be well worth it and will save you, your kids or your parents a whole load of money on ridiculously-priced games such as those on other competing consoles. The ...  Read the complete review
