Playstation 3 vs. XBox 360: Choosing The Best

2010-02-28T10:26:00.000-05:00

Gaming consoles are one of the best entertainment tools available and many people buy one for their own home. In fact, gaming consoles are very popular today that every release of a new kind of gaming console, stores always run out of stock.

However, there are also different kinds of gaming consoles available in the market today that claims to be the best. These companies claim that they guarantee that with their gaming console, you will have the ultimate gaming experience. Because of this, people tend to get confused on which gaming console they should buy.

Two examples of companies that manufacture gaming consoles that are always competing is Sony and Microsoft. The upcoming Sony PlayStation 3 and the newly released Microsoft Xbox 360 are two of the most popular gaming consoles available today. Both companies claim that their gaming console offers the best quality gaming experience that you will ever have.

So, in order to end all the confusion, here are some facts about these two different gaming consoles and with this information, you can choose which gaming console is right for you.

The Sony PlayStation 3 is the third in the PlayStation series and is expecting great success upon its release on November 2006 in Japan, United States, and in Canada. PlayStation 3 is integrated with the latest and unique technology in a gaming console. It has features like the Blu-ray drive that is not found in other gaming consoles available in the market today. The Blu-ray drive is one of the latest disc drives available presently. What makes Blu-ray special is it has a much larger capacity to store data, meaning it will allow game developers to show their creativity and add detailing effects to make the game more realistic than ever before.

The PlayStation 3 gaming console can also be equipped with a Wi-Fi. This technology will enable you to connect to the Internet wirelessly and it will be able to give you the capability to play online PlayStation 3 games along with millions of players worldwide. Think of this as a virtual community where you can make friends with someone halfway around the world.

PlayStation 3 also has Bluetooth wireless controllers available. This means that it can definitely let you have a more enjoyable experience when you play a PlayStation game. With PlayStation 3, you can also upgrade the hard disk.

PlayStation 3 also has the backward compatibility feature which allows you to play your old PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games in your new PlayStation 3 gaming console.

Xbox 360 also offers one of the best features in a gaming console. Microsoft has thought all about the needs of consumers in a gaming console. Because of this, they developed and manufactured the Xbox 360 gaming console system that virtually has everything that you need in a gaming console system. It has wireless controllers, upgradeable hard drive, Xbox Live headset to let you chat with your friends when playing Xbox 360 online games, WiFi adapter and can also be integrated with the Xbox Live Vision.

As you can see, both gaming console system are closely matched except for the Blu-ray technology that PlayStation 3 has. If you want a gaming console that offers high definition graphics, you should opt for PlayStation 3. With the Blu-ray technology and advanced HDMI technology, you will be able to have the best gaming experience of your life.

A.I. System in Arcade Games

2010-02-02T18:17:00.000-05:00

The first arcade games were built on discrete logic and were strictly based on competition between the players. Therefore, there wasn’t any A.I. system.

Heuristic algorithms have been used in the arcade games. The common method of controlling an NPC in the game was by scripting.

‘Path finding’ is another common A.I. system that has been used in the real time strategy games. ‘Path finding’ works by calculating how to get an NPC from one place to another after considering the terrain and obstacles.

Games like Quake and Pursuit based all the enemy actions on particular stored patterns. The space invaders further refined this movement, by adding in-game events which were dependent on the hash functions.

This resulted in more varied and complex enemy movements.

Pac-Man incorporated this technology, at the same time jazzing it up by providing different personalities for each ghosts.

Although the ghost movements in Pac-Man felt random, it was a cleverly scripted and well disguised action.

The 1990’s saw the emergence of finite state machines. The arcade racing games were powered by a ‘rubber banding’ A.I. system.

If the computer controlled the opponents “fall behind”,
they received a superb boost allowing them to catch up.

The system too, works the other way around, enabling the human players to catch up if they fall behind. The arcade shooting games should ideally have a large rule base which is basically the list of NPC options like attack long range, call for help, flee etc.

The trick lies in using a random factor to choose from this base factor. This has displayed an enhanced feeling of intellect and developed the fun factor.

combine the game directory with my
favorite games together. I am doing so
many projects, I simply do not have the
time. That will be available sometime this
month.

I want to promise this week, but can't.
I'll also be adding more links in the

I find, so be sure to always check that

News And Games

2009-10-16T11:37:00.005-04:00

Well, as I am not as tech savvy as I'd like, I am trying
to find the right software to create the ebook that I have
mentioned all over again. I did create one, but the links
do not work. Another option is to just list the websites as
they are without the links, but wouldn't you say that
would be a pain, right?

So, while I am still trying to figure this out, here a couple
of fun sites to check out.

Free Game Ebook

2009-08-11T17:49:00.004-04:00

Yes, the game ebook I created is now gone.
I will have to write another one for you.
Right now I have many different projects
going on at once, and my blogs are the
last thing I think about, but I promise
that I will get my act together soon.

In the meantime, I've added a game search box
on the blog, so while you're waiting for
some cool news, you can search online.

My Free Ebook Is Gone

2009-07-26T17:14:00.004-04:00

The free ebook that I created to tell you about
some fun, addicting games that I have found
over the Internet, has been taken off.

I suppose, just because the websites I found
had free advertising on it, and they were full
games to play-was not something that Scribd
wanted on their website.

So, I'll just make something else and give you
the link to upload it this week. "Make Money
Playing Games" ebook, How's that?

I have played a couple of fun games in the past
month or so, I'll be giving a review of that later
this week.

Free Ebook

2009-07-03T17:54:00.004-04:00

I do not know what happened, but the ebooks that
I uploaded to Scribd have disappeared. I haven't
logged in in a long time, but I still have an account
there so I don't know what happened.

So now, I have to find my files again and then I
will upload them and get a link back to you. This
is crazy. Maybe I should find another place that
actually will keep your documents uploaded
forever.

Anime Adventure Games

2008-08-08T18:35:00.000-04:00

One thing that I love to do is to play free games.

You play the one hour trial(shorter if you're on the

wrong website...) and know whether you love or

hate the game and if you should spend your hard

earned money to buy it.

One game that totally rocks, and am definitely

going to buy is Fatal Hearts. That game just rocks!

You are Christina Robinson(sorry guys...) and you've

been having these strange dreams about a mysterious

man...you hear wolves in your neighborhood coming

home....girls were murdered. It's up to her to figure

out who that guy in her dreams is, and what people

she should trust.

The trial only let me get so far. So, I won't say

what happens, only it ended on an exciting note.

Well, I'll just mention a murder scene...being

chased by a cop-that'll do. You can download

the trial on various sites, so why don't you just

start here....

The Pac-Man Syndrome

2008-07-03T17:39:00.000-04:00

Pac- man was created by Toru Itwani and licensed by Namco. The game was centered on an old Japanese folk tale.
The object of the game was simply to move through a maze, while gobbling the dots and avoiding ghosts. Pac Man was a tear away success spawning a cult in its wake.
It was picked up for production in the US by Midway.
Pac-man was a nice breakaway for gamers bored with an extreme dose of space invaders. The game soon went on to strip ‘Asteroids’ as the greatest selling game of all time.
Game play
The player maneuvers the protagonist through a maze eating dots. The game proceeds to the next level once all the dots are eaten.
There are four ghosts which roam around the maze trying to catch Pac-man who is the character maneuvered by the player. If the ghosts touch Pac-man, a life is lost.
The game ends when no lives remain.
At the corners of the maze there are four power ups. These power-ups render Pac-man a short-timed ability to gobble up the ghosts.
Once a ghost is eaten, it returns to the ghost pen where it is revived. The regeneration time for the ghosts shortens as the game advances through the stages.
Despite the seemingly randomness movement of the ghosts, their nature is strictly deterministic. This allows experienced players to devise precise patterns of movement that enables them to complete levels without being caught ever.
The simplicity of the game and the adrenaline rush it created, when a ghost came near transformed this game into an addiction. Unofficially, it is the most played game of all time.

Rise Of Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games

2008-07-01T16:57:00.000-04:00

A new phenomenon in the online arcade gaming industry is the rise of MMORPG (Rise of Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games).
Several thousands of players share a common environment and fight each other for glory. Multiplayer online gaming is the newest rage with programmers.
Almost every game is designed to include a multi-player option. Arcade games have shown an ability to overcome numerous obstacles in its 40yrs of existence.
It was pretty obvious it would win the war with the Internet. The arcade industry responded to the growing threat of multiplayer games on internet by coming up with games of their own.
Like they say “if you can’t beat them join them!”
Common Arcade Games
Lunia is an action packed arcade MMORPG that combines the classic RPG elements like character growth and community system with intense paced action. The game has breathtaking environments and takes you through eerie dungeons and abandoned castles.
Anarchy Online is a science fiction MMORPG arcade game that’s hugely popular and won 20 international awards.

The game features stunning environments with clubs, bars and apartments.
Anarchy online gives you the option of fighting thousands of monsters or challenge human opponents in Player vs. Player areas.

Online Arcade Gaming Community

2008-06-30T20:01:00.000-04:00

The success of online arcade gaming can be attributed to the huge number of dedicated online communities that support arcade games.
These games have stood their ground at a time when technological advances have paved way for hardcore graphic systems capable of rendering movie like graphics.
The online community regularly conducts tourneys for arcade games with huge prize money at stake.
Xbox Live conducted a Pac-man championship in New York in May of 2007.
Nine finalists from around the world fought each other for a one of a kind Pac-man inspired Xbox 360 console, 100,000 Microsoft points, and a Pac-Man Live Arcade Trophy.
Finalists were selected based on scores of Xbox LIVE Arcade leader box from Japan, USA, Europe, Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Canada and Mexico.
The primary reason for a spurt in the online arcade community is the rise of a huge number of multiplayer arcade games.
Arcade games are from another era that is hard pressed to survive an intense competition. This is the primary reason for the close knit nature of arcade gaming communities.
The resurgence of arcade titles on consoles and handhelds is another reason for the growing arcade communities. The online arcade communities have made sure that arcade games are here to stay.
Arcade games have shown an immense resilience surviving everything from consoles to the Internet. The arcade communities have played a huge part in seeing the genre through the hardest of times.
With the advent of internet, these communities saw a massive rise in numbers. These communities are closely knitted and work as a single entity when it comes to competing game genres.

Old School Arcade Titles On Consoles

2008-06-29T15:46:00.000-04:00

Porting classic arcade games into consoles has become the latest rage in the gaming industry. The trend clearly affirms the fact that arcade games are not dead.
The gamers are not an elderly bunch of people who grew up on these titles. Kids are also addicted to it. The games have been revamped graphically but never shed the addictive game play which, of course, is the part and parcel of every game.
Arcade games have not been graphically interesting, but this move successfully negates the fact that the popularity of a game largely depends on its game play and not seemingly awe-inspiring graphics.
This phenomenon has also triggered a resurrection of arcade games and made it popular among online gamers. Arcade games are also being ported into handheld consoles like PSP.
This clearly indicates the popularity of arcade gaming.
Some of the ported titles are
Geometry Wars – The game was a classic when it was released back in 80’s. The upgrade features high end particle physics, digital sound, new special effects, a new scrolling area and high end graphics.
It is set in the far reaches of the galaxy where you battle hordes of vile, neon blazoned aliens. It also lets you choose between the old version and the updated version.
Pac-man – The all time classic has been upgraded with high definition graphics. The game still retains the original game play and the charming retro look.
The newer version features 250 levels of pure action packed fun. The game retains the original music and sound score that the fans remember so well.
