This Generation of Video Games - Wii, DSi Xbox 360 and PS3
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Chip_Searl]Chip Searl
This generation of Videogames steps into unchartered pleasures we did not anticipate would be produced so soon. Reading a round-up of E3 news on various gaming sites the golden chalice for innovation has to go to Microsoft for Xbox 360's project Natal. Sony PlayStation 3 created something for youngsters - the Eyepet. Nintendo claimed to be the masters' of motion controllers some 5 years ahead in terms of their experience in developing non conventional controllers.
First, off let me say a little about Xbox 360's Natal. Microsoft revealed a hands free controller project called Natal. Natal works on true 1:1 motion control interaction with graphical and speech recognition. The hardware recognises the shape of a player, their movements and even their hand commands.
Moving over to Playstation PS3's press conference arena all the eyes were on one thing. A new magical toy for Sony PS3 called "EyeToy". The magic toy thing combines a virtual world with cute pets with the real world. A television will display what the PlayStation Eye camera sees combined with your Eyepet to give an overall virtual effect. Eyepet will recognise and respond to your body movements, so you can feed and play with your monkey. Yes monkey, most of us have cats or dogs, and now with PS3 you can own a pet monkey.
PlayStation Eye is the second generation of rel=nofollow [http://ps3.uk.net/]PS3 games using motion sensor. The EyeToy, first used in a type of playing card battle game give an impression of how games can interface with cameras and motion. An impressive magic card creates a 3D hologram when placed on the floor in front of the EyeToy opening up other games to play with your Eyepet. Sony hasn't given up on handheld gaming just yet either. Sony plan to launch a new Playstation Portable console called PSP Go which will replace the PSP 3000 series.
PlayStation also unveiled twin handed motion sensor. It's good that they are getting gamers of the couch, providing the games are worth getting off the couch for. Sony PS3's Eye-Toy motion controller concept was not a dissimilar idea to Natal. PS3's future 1:1 gameplay mapping was demonstrated by someone holding virtual world objects in their own hand, yes the graphics looked awesome. A baseball bat suddenly appeared right there in his hand at the proper angle to use corresponding to his body. The tracking was very fast. It uses the EyeToy. WOW. True 3D pointing. You really need to see it to get the idea of new motion controller for PlayStation 3. This takes gaming to a new level. The game world and your front room are one of the places. Both Natal and PS3s concept use overlays and projectors bridging the gap between real and virtual world.
Nintendo's motion controller - Wii motion plus adapter for the Wii remote was announced last year and this month it went on sale. Nintendo also talked about the new Nintendo DS, DSi and Wii games: Sports Resort with Motion Plus, Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario for Wii and [http://www.gamestock.co.uk/wii-fit-plus]Wii Fit Plus the second in the Wii Fit series comes with new game software sold separately for those who already own a Wii Balance Board.

Best Way to Burn Xbox 360 Games
Best Way to Burn Xbox 360 Games
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Ricky_Davies]Ricky Davies
The best and only way you will ever need to copy your own Xbox 360 video games is by using a simple piece of software that will allow you to do just that. While some software companies charge a lot of money for this special software I have found some that charge very little and produce spectacular results. Everyone has different preferences but if you're looking to copy your own Xbox 360 games then I would highly recommend you to find a piece of software that is very user friendly and doesn't cost the world.
To burn your Xbox 360 console games you are going to need specialist software to copy your games, some blank disks, a computer, an original Xbox game and a step by step tutorial is also very useful just in case you get lost or stuck at any point, however this last part is completely optional as making computer game backup's is easy when you know how.
First of all install your software on your computer by inserting the disk and then selecting where you would like to install the software this should only take a couple of minutes, when the whole program has been installed double click on it with the left mouse button. The double click will open the program, when its opened and ready to go just tell the computer that you want to make a copy of a video game by selecting the onscreen options, after you have done this you will be asked to insert the original game disk that you want to copy and the blank disk that you are going to copy the information onto.
This will take a couple of minutes, after it's complete you would have created a successful rel=nofollow Xbox 360 game backup.

The Beatles Rock Band Video Game - The Best Music Game Ever For Your Wii, XBox, Or PS3
The Beatles Rock Band Video Game - The Best Music Game Ever For Your Wii, XBox, Or PS3
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Johnny_Moon]Johnny Moon
The Beatles Rock Band comes out on September 9, 2009 (the same date that newly remastered Beatles CD box sets are coming out.) And for people that love both The Beatles and playing Rock Band this is a very big day indeed. In fact, I would say that Christmas is coming early this year!
The Music
The game includes 45 Beatles songs which is nearly 1/4th of the songs they released during their career. That's a pretty good sample! Among the songs included are these:
Early Classics: "I Saw Her Standing There," "I Want to Hold Your Hand," & "I Feel Fine."
Psychedelic Era: "I Am The Walrus," "Paperback Writer," & "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
'68-'69 Era: "Get Back," "Revolution," & "Here Comes the Sun"
Along with the 45 songs that come with the game, players will also be able to download entire Beatles albums, starting with Abbey Road.
The Gameplay
One of the really cool things about the game is that players will play "as The Beatles" and will actually get to play throughout their whole career starting at The Cavern in Liverpool in 1960 all the way through the recording of Abbey Road in 1969. The graphics look amazing. Not only do the characters look a lot like The Beatles but there are also many different stages and some really groovy psychedelic images for songs like "I Am The Walrus."
The Instruments
If you get the full version of the game it comes with "Ringo's drum set" and "Paul's bass guitar." You can also buy "John & George's guitars seprately." These are really good looking replicas of the instruments The Beatles actually used.
Harmony Singing
For the first time ever on Rock Band, harmony singing will be included. Up to three different voices will be able to sing at once. If you are familiar with The Beatles songs then you know that they used harmonies in many of their songs, now you and your friends will get to sing those harmonies on Rock Band
Up To Six Players At Once
Because of the fact that there can be three singers at once, there can now be a total of six players playing at one time! This really makes Beatles Rock Band the ultimate party game.

Top 10 XBox 360 Video Game Gifts For Christmas This 2008 - Get the Best Xmas Presents Now
Top 10 XBox 360 Video Game Gifts For Christmas This 2008 - Get the Best Xmas Presents Now
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Faviano_Torres]Faviano Torres
Christmas is almost here, and it is pure folly to go out shopping without an agenda or a list. You'll just spend hours upon hours scouring the malls and stores for the perfect gift. The smart gift-giver/shopper prepares a list of gifts in advance. To help you with that, I've compiled a list of the Top 10 XBox 360 console & its video games for Christmas gifts for 2008. The Xbox 360 is one of the most popular game consoles today, and I'm sure you know a couple of people who owns one. So a game for their Xbox 360 might just be what would make their Christmas so much better. Here's the list and you better take notes!
1. Gears of War 2 - this much awarded sequel to Gears of War original deserves all the praises heaped upon it. I'm sure the person you'll gift this give to would be forever thankful. Picking up from the events of the last game, this sequel not only adds better gameplay and visuals, it also introduces a lot of characters and bigger and badder opponents.
2. Call of Duty: World at War - this game is for those friends of yours who want gritty, realistic action. Call of Duty: World at War combines the best visuals with highly exciting and intelligent gameplay. The battles are intense, with enemies such as the German and Japanese. The guns and machines are all powerful. Available in Multiplayer mode, too.
3. Fallout 3 - this game definitely belongs in the top 3 of the Top 10 XBox 360 console & its video games Christmas gift for 2008. It is a nightmarish vision of the world after a nuclear fallout. A game that is creepy, exciting, and totally engrossing, it is a cut above all the other war and battle games in the market today. Expect a lot of thanks coming your way once you give this as a gift. Your friends would love the battle against a humanity gone bad due to radiation.
4. Left 4 Dead - there's just something about zombies that no matter how often they are used, they still are very potent and exciting villains. The same goes with this game in which four players have to survive against a horde of zombies and their bosses. Perfect for your friend who is a horror and gore fan.
5. Fable II - coming in at number 5 in the Top 10 XBox 360 console & its video games Christmas gifts for 2008, Fable II picks up 500 years after the events of the first Fable game, this sequel definitely doesn't lose any steam. With the premise that actions are what makes a person good or evil, this game is intelligent and fun at the same time. However, keep in mind that there is mature content in this game, so it might not be a good idea to give it to very young kids. Players can enjoy a gripping storyline, battle attacks that include magic spells and short and long range techniques, and explore a world 10 times bigger than the first game.
6. Xbox 360 Live 12 Month Gold Card Plus 1 Month Bonus - this is every gamer's dream. A year-long membership to Xbox Live, the Mecca of all things that Xbox can offer: from guilds, battle forums, and tournaments and a lot more. This will surely make your friend ecstatic.
7. Dead Space - Terrifying, exciting, fun. What more can one ask for? This battle against aliens in outer space has been done, but not to the same level as with this game. Here, weapons are not only those of the killing kind, but special powers such as telekinesis also come into play. Add mesmerizing visuals and exceptional sound, it's the game to own!
8. Mirror's Edge - this truly enthralling and captivating mix of combat and strategic thinking makes this game a shoo-in for the list of the Top 10 XBox 360 console & its video games Christmas gift for 2008. Assuming the role of Faith, a Runner, the lucky receiver of this gift would have a lot fun times trying to evade the police by running, leaping, and skulking around the city. If all else fails, there's always fighting and the helicopter, even.
9. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - for the die-hard Star Wars fan, this game is a must-have. This will have your friends playing as Darth Vader himself or his apprentice. Mix it with the best graphics, gameplay, and storyline, this game is one of the best of the Star Wars gaming franchise.
10. Halo 3 - Halo 1 and 2 were both highly successful and well received. It would seem that the third installment doesn't miss the mark either. Expect a lot of fun times playing this game, wherein high class visuals, brand new weapons, interesting characters, and a unique storyline will have you or your friend spending hours playing!

How to Copy and Back Up Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 Video Games - CopyThatGame Review
How to Copy and Back Up Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 Video Games - CopyThatGame Review
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Rafar_Springs]Rafar Springs
So is there anyway to copy video games like Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 games. Yes, absolutely. There is a way to back up every single one of your games. The "CopyThatGame" system definitely gets a 5 star review. It is what is says it is and does what it says what it does. Reviewing this is kind of like reviewing a movie; I'm going to point out key points of "CopyThatGame" without giving away too much.
I'm a game lover and I was very pleased with its results. It uses a very proficient system that easily and amazingly strips the data from the original disk (whether it's a video game, CD or DVD) and enables you to copy that data to a blank disk. It is very astounding due to the fact that Sony and Microsoft has a very complicated code that keeps their disk from being copied, however CopyThatGame breaks through it without even trying.
The CopyThatGame works for all consoles:
• Playstation 3
• Xbox 360
• Playstation 1
• Playstation 2
• Xbox,
• PC games.
• And more (Dreamcast ect.)
CopyThatGame makes 1:1 quality copies like it says it does. It was really impressive playing Grand Theft Auto on my 360 using my copied disk - it was great. And to test out its DVD coping capability, I copied my favorite movie (Dark Knight. That movie kicks butt). It copied it beautifully.
It took about 5 minutes to strip the data. It was shockingly simple because I was expecting something that truthfully was a piece of crap and got something that was amazing in every way.
WAIT! Don't just take my word for it. Try it yourself. [http://www.squidoo.com/copy_games]Click Here and go copy crazy. I sure did and loved every second of it.
