...ly fin your favorite means of transportation here.

The beauty of the new Grand Theft Auto game is that a player can choose to simply disregard the missions and just go driving around the city, swimming in the ocean or flying a helicopter. This pleasure cruise, however, will not help him advance to the next level of difficulty of the game or earn him any points. In addition to the missions, this Grand Theft Auto game also offers numerous minigames that you can play at your leisure: pool, basketball, video games and even gambling.

Complete with amazing graphics, this new Grand Theft Auto game is sure to provide you with countless hours of wicked fun.more

The Console War

...ly, no HDMI support on the now obsolete Core package, the wireless controllers eat through batteries like its the last day of the January battery sales, its as noisy as an 18 wheeler in a small tunnel and it breaks down if it gets the slightest hint it wants to be used. More than that the gamers are mostly idiots who abuse the bollox off anybody who dares to be better than them. I admire the 360, it is a good console, many games, good controllers if a little awkward to get used to and Microsoft do promise to make your broken ass 360 work like new, or just work for that matter, in a few days free of charge.

Now we move on to the PlayStation 3. Sony's third installment of their incredible games console. Unfortunately the PS3 has had a very poor start with its 425 price tag and limited number of games it is seen as a bad choice when the 360 has all the newer better games. However i do own this big black colossus and found it to be fantastic. We only get the 60 and 40 GB models in black in the UK but that doesn't matter when the console just works the way you want it to when you want it to. It was actually less expensive and more efficient than the Xbox 360 when new because there wasn't the need to buy every gadget under the sun to play HD-DVD's and have wireless connectivity. The PS3 has got everything rolled under one roof even if it is rather large. It does have motion sensitive controllers but these have yet to be put to any great use other than flight and balancing a bloke on a log. The graphics are not yet the best the PS3 can output since its inner workings involve some form of witchcraft which developers don't have the hang of yet. Also where the Wii falls short with graphics, the PS3 has the good graphics and where the Xbox 360 falls short in disc space the PS3 makes up for with the long awaited arrival of Blu-ray. These can hold up to 50 GB on a dual layer disc and a possible 200GB disc is in a prototype stage. With this enormous space on a disc the graphics don't have to take up 7 8ths of the disc and the...more

Microsoft Stock Gets Help From Halo 3 video Game

...far ahead of its main competitors Sony and Nintendo.

Playstation 3 and Wii consoles have dominated the hearts and minds of those who play video games due to their technological advances, but neither of those two video game consoles has a game like Halo 3 attached to it with such a huge fan base.

Microsoft has been very clever to marry the Halo 3 video game to their Xbox 360 video game console. Having the Halo 3 name and design on the console is sure to boost the sales of it and bring in more revenue to Microsoft through their Entertainment and Devices division.

So far, those who play video games are giving Halo 3 rave revues and it looks like Microsoft has hit a home run with this product. They are well on their way to regaining the crown as the king of video games and video game consoles. Halo 3 has proven to be a very good investment for them, and this has helped the value of the Microsoft stock. It has risen almost 2 percent in just one week and things are looking good for this scrappy, creative and innovative company.<...more
