I think that sony has added a little to many gimmicks to the ps3. I really don’t want to shell out money for a built in blue-ray player. Are they trying to force me to buy blue-ray movies? As a matter of a fact, I perfer my regular dvd player and dvds. And the $600 price tag, OUTRAGEOUS!! What are some of your opinions about the ps3.

The reign of the Xbox is almost over. As of late the PS3 has been looking better and better. Looks like 2008 will be the year of the PlayStation. PlayStation 3 has many big name titles coming out this year and if the all games from the list are all actually released this year, all we can say is WOW. Note: The following list in no way represents the entire list of exclusive titles for each console. However, it gives us a pretty good idea of the games rumored to be released this year.
PS3:
Resistance 2 (PS3)
Guaranteed success. While the first was a great game and fairly big success, it was still just a launch title. Imagine what they can do after a couple years and games under their belt. 8 player Co-Op! Expect big things from this game.
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3)
Another guaranteed success. Anyone who plays Gran Turismo will grab this game. If you’re a fan, you’re a fan. The visuals continue to improve, HD replays, ’nuff said!
Haze (PS3)
Hopefully the game will finally end it’s long series of delays this year. This game promises some intense action, including 4-player co-op, drop-in, drop-out, split-screen, online, or local multiplayer options. The game continues to impress visually, with not only the quality of graphics, but the very cool, unique design elements.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3)
Who doesn’t know about this game? The game is still months away and is already epic. If any game could live up to the hype this game has garnered, leave it to Solid Snake, old or young. Like most of the games on this list, the visuals are amazing. The game looks to pack in an enormous amount of story and gameplay. The game features a immense arsenal of weapons and combat/stealth moves. If you own a PS3, you are almost required to buy this. You know you will.
SOCOM: Confrontation (PS3)
Still early on this title, few details have been released. The game will support up to 32 players online. Customizable weapons much like SOCOM 3. Also like the previous SOCOM games, the focus will be online multiplayer. Early word says this one will go the way of Warhawk, offering online only possibly with a bluetooth headset and all. After all, the original SOCOM kind of pioneered headset use on consoles.
LittleBigPlanet (PS3)
Possibly one of the most innovative, cute, and anticipated games of the year. Little Big Planet looks to expand the PS3 audience with this “build-your-own-game” game. Eat your heart out Nintendo Miis, this game looks great. The shear level of creativity allowed is staggering. The game also supports 4-player co-op and versus. Plus, it’s kid friendly without being offensively cute.
God of War III (PS3)
The PS2 went out with a bang (though it’s still hanging in there) with the original God of War, and most recently it’s sequel, still on the aging console. People have been waiting for a true “next-gen” God of War experience and it looks as though 2008 is gonna be your year, possibly. Not much is know as of yet, however, the games creator, David Jaffe, is no longer working on the series so we’ll just have to wait and see how everything turns out.
Final Fantasy XIII (PS3) – Final Fantasy Versus XIII (PS3)
You’re either a fan, or you’re not, though, you’ve got to recognize the scale of the Final Fantasy franchise. The games continue to set graphical standards with every release. The next, XIII, looks to make good on their reputation. Not only are they again improving every visual, and storytelling aspect of the game, they are overhauling the combat as well. The combat in Final Fantasy XIII promises the speed up and intensify the battles.
MotorStorm 2 (PS3) [Teaser Trailer]
Another sequel to a previous PS3 exclusive, MotorStorm 2 hasn’t revealed much, but from the trailer we can expect yet another pre-rendered bar set too high for them to reach with in-game graphics. Don’t get me wrong, the original looked great, but the video they showed a year earlier looked 10-times better. This was the prettiest of all the racers for a while, but we’ll see how the sequel compares to the likes of Gran Turismo 5 HD later this year. Some of the improvements include new cars/trucks/motorcycles, tracks, and best of all, a much needed 4-player split-screen mode. The game’s also said to include 16-player online support.
Killzone 2 (PS3)
So, video and screenshots have shown just how good the game really looks in action. But what about gameplay? The original was not exactly praised by critics, though I quite enjoyed it (minus the large number of glitches). It definitely wasn’t the “Halo Killer” it was touted as. The sequel will have to really prove itself in such a crowded shooter market. Guerrilla Games has yet to reveal any real details on gameplay, i.e. co-op, multiplayer, customization? The game sure does look good though. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
XBOX 360:
Ninja Gaiden II (360)
Finally on to the Xbox 360, I thought we’d never get here. Ninja Gaiden II, the first official, true sequel, promises to up everything that made the original so popular. More action, more bad guys, more blood (almost too much), and more speed. The game’s creators have also addressed the difficulty issues some (many) had with the other games. They’ve said that without dumbing it down, they will be changing the controls in order to improve and lessen the frustration to newcomers. They’re also adding new weapons to the game and a ton of new character animations to keep the visuals fresh.
Too Human (360)
An epic in the making, Too Human is already set to be part of a trilogy. Everyone loves a trilogy. They’ve created an enormous world with a unique technology and organic design. The game is built on story, including a very ambitious new dynamic camera system that’s supposed to always give you the best view of the action during gameplay. The game also features a plethora of RPG elements to keep you interested. As with most RPGs you can upgrade almost everything, from weapons, to armor, to special abilities that extend your combat. The game also features a unique combat system, using the right analog stick for both melee and ranged attacks.
Fable 2 (360)
Sequel to a game that was a giant leap in artificial intelligence, Fable 2 looks to surpass it’s predecessor in every way. The ultimate choice between good and evil. This time your options are even greater. Similar to another Lionhead game, Black & White, the player will be given a pet in order to help you throughout the game, and also as a friend you can bond with. Peter Molyneux, the games creator has said he wants the game to get the player emotionally involved. Just a guess, but you can probably expect that your dog will eventually die. In addition to a game with conscience, the game is one of the first games to introduce money into the game before it’s release. That’s right, you can begin earning gold to spend in Fable 2 before the game ever hits store shelve, thanks to downloadable arcade games on Xbox Live.
Banjo-Kazooie 3 (360)
Very little is know of Bajo-Kazooie 3, if that is in fact it’s name. Rare, the company developing the game, released a short teaser trailer back in September 2006. It really didn’t show any gameplay, however, it did show a new boxy art style you can see in the screenshots above. You can expect the regular Bajo-Kazooie platform elements, collect everything in sight, teamwork to reach different areas and beat different enemies, and large open worlds. The Xbox 360 isn’t exactly known for having many platformers, so this will be a welcome addition. The last time we had a Banjo game was back on the N64.
Gears of War 2 (360)
Do I really have to say anything? Gears of War 2. You knew they would make it. The first was such a huge success, it actually beat Halo for top online multiplayer game, if only because it was the last-gen Halo 2. The game features everything new the Unreal Engine 3 has to offer. More enemies on screen, more destruction, more realistic lighting, and more chainsawing action. Another emergence day awaits us this fall.
Halo Wars
Halo isn’t dead! At least the Halo universe isn’t. Halo Wars is the first Halo game that isn’t a Halo game. It’s a real-time strategy. While the game isn’t being developed solely over at Bungie, it is being developed from the ground up for the Xbox 360 and console gameplay. Meaning they’ve supposedly solved some of the problems that plague many real-time strategy games on consoles. Did you know that Halo was originally a real-time strategy game being developed for the Mac? It’s true.
Splinter Cell: Conviction (360)
The next step for Sam Fisher looks remarkably similar to a Bourne Identity type game. That said, it still looks great. They’ve dropped the green eyed goggles in exchange for a man bag (ala Jack Bauer), hoodie, and beard, and they’ve got a stripped down and dirty, raw, Splinter Cell game where you’re now a fugitive from the law. The new game looks to change more than Sam’s fashion, focusing on what Ubisoft is calling “All new improvisation-based gameplay”. Where your inventory is actually the world around you, pick up and throw chairs, etc. Use crowds to your advantage, similar to Assassin’s Creed. This could be a great way to freshen up the series, or it could go too far from it’s roots and lose fans.
Left 4 Dead (360)
Zombies, Co-Op, Valve, Source, ’nuff said. The “43 in Left 4 Dead actually means something, it’s not just l337 speak. That’s right, 4-player co-op for a zombie first person shooter. A lot of people have high expectations for this one, and it looks like it could live up to them. Not a fan of being human, well they’ve got you covered. You can choose to play as a zombie, or “infected” as they’re called in the game. There are a number of different types of zombies each with different strengths and weaknesses. The brain eating should commence around October.
Alan Wake (360)
Do you like psychological thrillers? Alan Wake is a presented as more of a “movie” like game than a traditional action game. They’re officially calling it a “psychological action thriller”. The game has been in development for a while now (it won GameSpy’s Best of E3 2005) and claims to have a 2008 release date, we’ll see. It looks beautiful, the developer’s have spent a lot of time on really capturing the mood of a thriller. They’ve included full realtime day-to-night lighting and weather effects.
Honorable Mention: Heavy Rain (PS3), The Agency (PS3), L.A. Noire (PS3), Tekken 6 (PS3), Huxley (360), GTA4 (360 exclusive episodic content), Age of Conan (360)
That’s quite a bit and I’m tired. This should gives you something to think about if your making a console purchase this year. I’m sure there are a lot of games coming out that aren’t on this list. I’ve just covered some of the biggest of the console exclusives for 2008.

Johnny Burke asked:
Owning an Xbox can be a very enjoyable experience. Some of the games that are available on the Xbox 360 have really changed the way that gaming is done altogether. Even though most people enjoy this game system without any problems, there may be some times whenever some Xbox 360 repair is in order. At times, the problems that you are experiencing with your game system may be somewhat light but there are also times whenever the problems seem almost hopeless. What can you do if you think that some Xbox 360 repair is needed?
The first thing that you should do is to identify what is wrong with the unit. Even though some problems may be covered under warranty, game system warrantees tend to be rather limited for the most part. There are some problems that happen with the 360 that may only be a matter of unplugging the unit, allowing it to sit for a little while and then plugging it back in again. Other problems, such as the red ring of death may actually require a little bit more work on your part in order to get it running again. As a matter of fact, this is one of the most common problems that the 360 is experiencing.
Of all of the Xbox 360 repair projects that are seen on a regular basis the presence of those three red rings around the power button is the one that is seen most often. Even though nobody has ever really come out and officially said what the problem was, it is thought that heat within the system gets out of control and causes the soldier that was used to form micro cracks. There are a lot of different ways that people claim to be able to fix the red ring of death at home, some of which will work well and others which will simply not work at all.
It is certainly possible for you to do your own Xbox 360 repair and many people prefer to take care of these things at home. One of the main reasons why this is the case is because it is usually such a pain to return a game system and you are without it and at the manufacturer’s mercy until it returns. As long as there is a simple solution available, most people try to take care of it themselves.

Jason Hobbs asked:
As the Xbox 360 is fast getting more and more popular, there will be people who will want to make the game console a more dynamic machine, so to say. Some enterprising people can do this by trying to make the Xbox 360 capable of playing backup copies of games. A new and original Xbox 360 does not allow gamers to play backup discs or copies. The game console would only play original and expensive game discs.
The purpose of having backups is to help gamers take good care of their original game title copy. When a gamer uses it into his Xbox 360 game console and play for hours and hours on end, he might be putting it at a risk of getting scratched or even toasted because the Xbox 360 has been known to be a very “hot” game console.
Due to its power and enhanced gaming capabilities, the Xbox 360 is prone to heat up when used for long periods of time. This can do some damage to the discs being used inside. Once it is damaged, there will be no other way but for the gamer to buy another original and expensive copy. But with an Xbox 360 modchip in your Xbox 360 will allow your game console to have the capability of playing backup discs so you won’t have to put your original copies into any undue risks of getting damaged.
There have been claims that a modchip for the Xbox360 has already been developed. It has been known as the Globe 360. What is interesting about the Globe 360 is that it doesn’t rely on any DVD-Drive firmware hack that have previously been used to get Xbox 360’s to be able to play backup copies of original games.
The Globe 360 is said by its developers to be the world’s very first Xbox 360 mod chip that is compatible with all DVD drives currently available on the market. No longer do you have to figure out which DVD drive model you need to have as you do with other currently available mod chips. With the Globe360 modchip, you can use it on any DVD drive model to available in the market today.
If you would like to play generic applications, Recordable DVD discs and backups on your Xbox 360 console, then there is no better chip available for you than the Globe360 modchip for the Xbox 360. Not only is this new mod chip compatible with all current Xbox 360 drive models, it is also more cheaper and is priced much lower than the various other Xbox 360 modchips on the market.
The Globe 360 modchip is plug and play compatible and does not require you to extract any drive-key from the console because it is featured with the ACTEL CPLD that bypasses the Xbox 360 drive-key check. With the Globe 360, you no longer need a lousy firmware hack just to be able to play backups on your Xbox 360.
The Globe 360 is able to retain all the original firmware of your Xbox 360. No need for any firmware-reading or flashing that may affect the performance of your game console in some way. What’s more, the Globe Xbox 360 Modchip is 100 percent Xbox Live compatible and safe so you can still enjoy playing online multiplayer games without the risk of getting blocked.

The Xbox 360 remains one of the most popular video game consoles out there today. Thanks to further developments in Microsoft’s video game console technology, Xbox 360 wireless adapters are now available. These accessories are sold separately. They are a good investment since they allow users to wirelessly connect their Xbox 360 system to a home network. When they do this, they can enjoy Xbox Live play. If they wish, they can connect their Xbox 360 system to another Xbox 360 system. This way, they can enjoy head-to-head action. The Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter is designed and manufactured for the exclusive use of and compatibility with the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system.
The Xbox 360 continues to attract a number of loyal fans. The birth of Xbox 360 wireless adapters has made the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system more appealing not only to past users but to potential converts – those that are currently using Sony’s PSP or Nintendo’s Wii. There are current Xbox 360 users all around the globe, however, who wonder whether these adapters are necessary. It is expected that this question be raised; after all, the adapters don’t come cheap. People these days are more careful with how to spend their money, and past luxuries must become necessities in order to find a willing market.
Xbox 360 wireless adapters have a variety of features, including a dual-band 5-GHz as well as a 2.4-GHz signal, radio collaboration with Xbox 360 Wireless Controllers that allow hassle-free system integration, and 802.11-a/b/g wireless home network compatibility. Each of the adapters has durable parts, including an antenna, LED, tab, and USB connector. The features alone are enough to convince any techie that these adapters are a must in today’s highly advanced world. Networks are great advantages in any communication endeavor. They make communication easier, more efficient, and better than ever before. Adapters allow connectivity to networks, resulting in more fun and excitement as users share the thrill of playing their Xbox 360.
One of the concerns of Xbox 360 users is how to setup their network. A home wireless network, also known as an infrastructure network, makes use of a wireless gateway (or a wireless access point or wireless router) in order to distribute the Internet connection to your wireless home computer or device. Through the use of Xbox 360 wireless adapters, your precious video game console becomes one of the wireless devices you can count on for your home wireless network. It is imperative that you consider some important factors before creating your very own home wireless network – that is, if you don’t have one yet. These factors include, among other things, what wireless standard you should use, what network hardware you would need, and how you should protect your home wireless network security. These days, one just can’t be too careful, considering the number of spiders and hackers that lurk on the worldwide web.
Xbox 360 wireless adapters were created to allow more convenience and interaction, things that video game console lovers enjoy and greatly benefit from. What are you waiting for? Get your very own wireless adapter today. But with or without an adapter, if you want to go on Xbox Live, make sure you enlist the help of a professional who knows how wireless networking works.
