What would you want in a Wii “Elite” model?
2007-11-20 17:31:00
Posted by AndyG as Wii Articles at 4:51 PM EDTSeeing that Microsoft has launched their 360 “Elite” system, it got me wondering what folks would want from a Nintendo Wii “Elite” system. I would assume most folks would want better graphics, more storage, and better high definition support, but what else can you guys come up with? Here’s a few features I came up with off the top of my head just for fun, feel free to comment and add you own: * Support for playing Nintendo DS games - Ok this one is a long shot as it would have a few technical limitations in place as far how the dual screens and touch screen action would be handled. There is also no Mic on the Wii (yet!) so this one would take a bit of work. * Ports or an official converter allowing for NES, SNES, N64, and other official VC system controllers - This one could be handled by simple converters, some of which are already being made by 3rd party companies. How cool would it be being able to play the Virtual Con...

Mario Strikers Charged Football
2007-11-19 06:40:00
Written by Greg LyleFor me, Mario Smash Football on the Gamecube was always very hit and miss. It had some aspects of fun, but there was a real lack of depth and challenge compared to the more realistic soccer games like FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer. When I first saw the screens for Mario Striker s Char ged Football on Wii, I can hardly say I was impressed. It looked very similar, if not exactly the same as its predecessor and I immediately shrugged it off as a lacklustre attempt of milking that unused cash-cow, the gamecube. However what Nintendo has delivered is not a shoddy port of the gamecube game or even a sloppy expansion of it, but instead one of the most fun and engrossing titles currently available for the Wii.MarioLike previous exciting Wii games, Warioware and Wii Sports most of Mario Smash's fun comes from its simplicity but please dont let that fool you. Mario Strikers is most definitely not as shallow as those two.The game is based as a sort of Mushroom Kingdom world ...

Wario Ware Smooth Moves Review
2007-11-18 12:26:00
Written by Gods_Vessel Wario Ware is a series well known for its insane mini games that are thrown at the player quickly one after the other. This doesn’t differ in the Wii iteration of the game and is if anything exemplified by the use of the Wii control. Much like the Gamecube version of Wario Ware, Smooth Moves puts the focus on multiplayer, which is perfect for a system like the Wii. When you first start the game you’ll see that there’s a multiplayer and single player option. However, the multiplayer is locked until someone clears the single player mode. It’s not necessarily a bad thing though as the single player is a bit like an extended tutorial that you’ll finish up pretty quickly. Going through the one player mode is hardly a chore though, and it’ll have you smiling all the way to the end. What you first notice about Smooth Moves is the first-rate presentation. Each level preludes and ends with a small movie revolving around whatever character’s level i...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl Review (PC)From Michael KlappenbachAfter nearly six years in the making, the first person thriller S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl has finally been released. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a first person shooter/role playing survival game that places you in the horrific aftermath of the nuclear disaster. At it's core S.T.A.L.K.E.R. should appeal to many FPS fans and while it does have some minor game play and storyline flaws, it does a very nice job of creating an immersive and open ended game world.Pros * Unique setting and immersive game world * Open ended game play * Large variety of options, gadgets, and weapons.Cons * Bugs, bugs, bugs. * Storyline doesn't hold together very well. * Even at novice level, Combat and AI can often be too challenging.StorylineS.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl is set in the aftermath of the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl in the Ukraine. After a fictional second explosion at Chernobyl, the land surrounding ...

Warcraft No CD Crack By James KayYou would think that if you spend enough time around computers and the internet that you would eventually become conversant at least with most of the ins and outs of it. As this is not always the case not everyone will know what a Warcraft no CD crack, is.For that purpose, a small explanation is first given on what a Warcraft no CD crack is and what it does, but perhaps we should begin at the beginning. A crack, is a piece of software program which will remove any CD-check needs which will come with most legitimate software CD's.Although this might be a good way for companies to protect their software from being pirated, it can be a bit of hassle for users who need to be continually placing a CD in their CD-ROM drive to access this software.In the case of Warcraft, it is the need to carry around with you, and always use the game CD which runs your game. For some people this can become very tiring, very fast. And this brings us to the whole point of t...

WoW Guide - Becoming Addicted to an Online Game ...
2007-04-29 17:20:00
WoW Guide - Becoming Addicted to an Online Game by Lisa WimesYes, even gamers have the same needs as every other person: a social life, fun stuff and regular day to day stuff like attending school or working at a day to day job. Normally someone plays a game just to get a break of the daily routine, just to relax. One might watch tv in the evening, watch their favourite series on their computer, yet others take the risk of giving WoW a try. That's where it all starts... You start playing because you're just plain bored, but a few days later you'll find yourself being totally sucked into the game, not allowing yourself to do anything other in your spare time.New players often underestimate the exact type of game which WoW is, and even more important: the time it actually takes to accomplish something in the digital world. They go online to finish just a quest or two, but end up playing way longer than intended. Blizzard obviously did a great job when it comes to creating both a ...

How To Put Movies On Your PSP?By: Kelvin HoNow that you have purchased you new PSP you will want to use it to its full capabilities. Watching movies on your portable play station is not difficult; but there are a few hardware considerations that must be in place before you can actually watch your favorite flick on the fly.The first requirement is a device that will contain your MP4 (movie) files called a Pro Duo Stick. 512 MB is the norm and quite sufficient for this purpose.Of course, you will want to have a DVD player installed on your system along with a DVD ripper as this will allow you to download the movie from a particular DVD onto your computer.And, you will need to have a USB cable so you can connect the PSP to your computer.The last, and some would say, the most important part is a conversion software program that will allow conversion of movie and video files to MP4 format so you can watch them on your PSP. However, technology has advanced to the stage that some DVD softw...

The Beginnings Of Blogg ing By: Enrique Villa lobosIt is great that the phrase blog floats around the net day in and day out, but what if you have no idea what a blog really is? Is this going to be helpful to your web site? No, not really. Here we will offer the skinny on the phrase blog, and you can decide for yourself if it may or may not be useful in your web pages. This way you will not be wasting your time on something you may not need, and the energy can be put to something you find more useful for yourself.The term blog refers to weblog and it is in every fashion not a commercial or professional site. It is more of the personal nature, for comment or web site material. Generally the most recent information on a blog is kept at the top of the page, as blogs are dated log formats. Often they will have commentary of other sites or links directing you to them. Many times the site is dictated by group links and the log is updated frequently.The opinion is this is the very first weblo...

Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars
2007-04-27 05:44:00
Although it's been over seven years since the last release of a Comm and & Conquer real-time strategy game set in the Tiberium universe, the announcement of Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars was of great interest to PC gamers, who have been waiting that long to find out precisely what's been happening to Kane and GDI in the years since the last Tiberium War. Now that it's finally arrived, we're all about to find out... Like the previous games in the series, Tiberium Wars takes place on an earth that's been seeded with a substance known as Tiberium, which fell to earth in a meteor collision in the 1990's. Tiberium is a radioactive, toxic substance that leeches the mineral contents of the earth below it to seep to the surface. Thus, although it kills unprotected humans, it can be harvested by robotics and converted into energy or building supplies. However, the fact that it inexorably spreads across any land surface that it encounters means that its presence on Earth is so...
