The Next Generation Gaming Console - An Xbox 360 Review

 Right now there are three of the so called next generation gaming consoles on the market for you to choose from - the Nintendo Wii, the Playstation 3, and the Xbox 360.   I have used and written about both the Wii and the Playstation, so now it is time for the xbox 360 review.

Xbox 360 - An In Depth Look

Out of the box the Xbox 360 is a far cry from its predecessor.  The original Xbox was big, black and clunky looking.  The new unit is anything but.  It is far smaller, although not as small as the Wii or Playstation, and white in color.  For the first part of the xbox 360 review I give it a 7 out of 10 for appearance.

While appearance for some people is important, if you are a hardcore gamer this is probably the least important thing.  So let’s dive down into the next part of the xbox 360 review and look at the games that are available.  This is not an xbox 360 game review, but rather a look at the titles you can get.  (more…)

If you own an Xbox 360, you know that there are many option for accessories out there. Whether you need controllers, faceplates, wireless accessories, or any other of the myriad types of controllers on the market, you’re sure to find the whole process confusing over time. How can you find the best Xbox 360 accessories without wasting your time and money?

The first thing to keep in mind is that first party accessories are generally much higher in quality than third part offerings. Though buying third party might seem like a great way to save on accessories, the quality is very much lower most of the time. However, there are many exceptions to this rule.

One exception to this rule are special, custom modified controllers that allow you to do things like rapid fire. These will work well if they have been made by a hobbiest of good repute.

Another area where you can often go third party is network gear. You don’t need to purchase the expensive Microsoft components when the stuff from Linksys and Netgear will do a great job by themselves. Check into if you have a hard network to setup. (more…)

Gaming consoles have taken a new face. There are now lots of gaming consoles to choose from. The 3 major consoles that have the major market share are the Microsft Xbox 360, Sony Playstation3 and the Nintendo Wii. Of these three, the xbox 360 has become one of the most popular gaming consoles with great graphics and sound.

Out of the hundreds of games to choose from, people also have the option to download xbox games. The problem, perhaps, is that only few offer it for free.

What the majority of websites offer is a one-time charge for a membership fee. After paying this, a person can download as much games as he can. Other websites have restrictions for one month, this means that the member ship is good for only a month and will expire after this duration. Within this period, the user or member can download as much as he can. (more…)
