Christmas Gift Ideas - Video Games

...Every Christmas we get a new batch of video games as Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony try to sell us their gaming systems. Every year kids want the latest and greatest, along with that killer game which will make their Christmas complete, so this year I thought I'd do a quick rundown of the top 10 video games for Christmas.

Every family has different needs and different tastes, so I'm going to split this up into "family games" and "adult/older teen games". For the most part, Nintendo seems to have a lock on the good honest fun of family games this year, but there some good family games which are common to all three systems.

Top family games this Christmas.

1. The top family game this Christmas is actually the one which is included when you buy your Nintendo Wii system. It's Wii Sports. My family has gotten endless hours of entertainment out of these simple games which have you using the new Wii controller to simulate baseball, bowling, tennis and boxing. I've had people from 5 to 80 playing these games and everybody seems to like them.

2. Super mario Galaxy for Nintendo Wii hasn't even been released yet, but I know it will be a big seller and big hit this Christmas. mario is always a big hit and I'm sure that Nintendo has made sure not to disappoint all of those mario fans out t...more

Sonic The Hedgehog, Long Live The Legend

...Sonic the Hedgehog really is a legendary video game icon. He smashed his way onto the gaming scene back in 1991 when SEGA first brought you the super fast, blue blur character.

Known for his rebellious attitude and signature speed, Sonic has made a name for himself in the gaming world and has no plans of fading away anytime soon. Not only can you find Sonic games on the original SEGA console, you can find Sonic games on next generation consoles including the Wii, PS3, PSP and Xbox 360. Sonic and the Secret Rings was released fo...more

Online Games - The Evolution

...Grand Theft Auto.

This was also the period when websites started offering online games such as tetris, ping pong, mario bros, super mario, and other free online flash games and non-flash based games free for playing after registering with them. This really pushed online gaming into the popular psyche.

The 21st Century - world is just a playground

Early years of the 21st century were dominated by the DVD-CD-ROM. It has changed the way online games are played. The latest gaming systems such as Sony's play station and Microsoft's X-box have networking capabilities to enable people play with each other in real time from all over the world. Exponentially growing broadband internet services have made playing these online games possible in true sense of the word.

The only drawback to the constantly evolving technology for online games is that what you buy today might become obsolete by the next year. Luckily, for the serious gamers, the resale industry for these online games is huge. This resale industry is just another element to the ever-changing history of online game.more

The New Super mario brothers Review

...the game different ways using warp portals. So you can skip certain worlds and go strait to a new one. This doesn't mean that you will miss out on the levels because you will want to return to the worlds to get more stars. A total of 3 stars hidden on each level which unlock bonus items and mini games.

The controls of the game are similar to that of the SNES or the old game boy games, but the touch screen comes into play sometimes as this is where you can have up to 3 power ups stored, such as the mushrooms, flower power or star. So when you feel the need to power up you just touch one of the 3D symbols on the bottom screen.
