A few thought about WiiU

So when this console came out in November, I found it interesting that Nintendo would try to get such a jump on the competition. But, did this early release help or hurt Nintendo? First of all, WiiU is losing it's "new factor" in the gaming world. Now that the Ps4 and the newly announced Xbox One are now public, the WiiU is starting to feel less exciting. Most likely the WiiU will fail to compete hardware wise, but what else is new? The things Nintendo has been known for recently hasn't been it's console, but it's Platform titles and handheld devices. So I'd like to focus on the new features it brings to these great platforms.

The big new thing about the system is that it now shows a very vibrant HD. This maybe old news for Sony or Microsoft, but it is a welcome new feature for Nintendo. It's sleek design also brings it into the look of the new gaming generation.

But, the big new thing about this console is not the system itself. Nintendo has always been the only major gaming company that makes major changes to it's controller. Even though the controller is bigger it gets rid of one of the biggest problems in gaming, Screen peeking. Now that you have a screen to yourself, it contributes a lot to your multiplayer games. And it also could be used as a handy item screen or map screen. Who knew you could do all these things with an extra screen!

All in all this is a very good family oriented console. It is easy enough for anyone in the house to use!

A home entertainment platform or a gaming console?

The two are moving ever closer to being the same thing.  Store your music, surf the internet, watch tv, watch movies, partake in social media, read the news, video chat with friends, and most importantly play video games with the new gaming systems such as the Xbox One.  The gaming industry is planning on moving in a new direction, where the market for gaming systems joins hands with any multimedia markets.  The market is expanding to any home entertainment.  Next time your pondering what gaming console to buy think about the progress the industry has made over the past 10 years alone.  From a square box that had a controller and some very pixelated figures on the screen, to that with a dvd player, to music player, to awesome graphics, blue ray player, to multimedia platform with the exceedingly awesome graphics.  Where will we go next?

MADDEN 25 (14), A MUST HAVE



Like football?
Play Football?
Watch Football?

If you said yes, then you will like Madden 25.  The new game has the best graphics seen in xbox 360 history when it comes to sports graphics.  Play the game as the owner of the football team or a new rookie superstar like EJ Manuel.  (Go Bills!)  The new game is set to be released as early as August 27, 2013.  If purchased through amazon, DirectTV owners can get a deal in which they will get live streaming of NFL games over the course of the 2013-2014 season.  Some may say to wait until the new gaming console comes out to purchase any more games, but only time will tell how patient one can really be especially with a game as awesome as this one.

League of Legends the best free online fantasy game?

League of Legends has been around for awhile now and the game has really taken off.  On my last trip to china I found that most of the local internet bars consisted of many League of Legends fanatics and then in college I found more fanatics.  Everywhere I go it seems to be showing up on a computer screen.  So my question to the followers is, Is League of Legends truly the best online game for the computer when it comes to first person fantasy.  Please comment below and share your thoughts...

NOW THE XBOX ONE IS HERE

The new xbox will be voice activated and has voice recognition, has personal memory as to what you were last doing, better graphics, trending entertainment section, all the capabilities of the xbox 360 and more!  However, xbox one will change inputs on the tv via voice activated commands.  All the technology of xbox one is incredibly fast and up to date.  The new xbox one is much more universal than one could ever imagine.  There are also gesture commands, using your hands you can change the size of the tv screen and also there is an ability to switch between or have dual screen availability.  Navigation is quick and easy.  For any xbox lover this is a must have!  Skype and snap mode are available as multitasking accessories to this wonderful new product.
