A Final Fantasy VII Prequel For The PSP

November 18th, 2009

In’97 Square Enix released Final Fantasy VII, which quickly became one of the most popular titles in the history of the Final Fantasy franchise, and it still is today. The game is so popular that in 2005 Square Enix released a CGI movie titled Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, which was a sequel to the story in the game. While this helped keep the legacy of Final Fantasy VII alive, many fans are still hoping for another Final Fantasy VII game.

Square Enix has not delivered a sequel to FFVII, but a prequel, titled Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. This game is available exclusively on the Play Station Portable, which provides excellent graphics and superior game play for a hand held device. But what if you don’t own a Play Station Portable, is the game worth it to go out and purchase one, is it worth it to even purchase the game itself?

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII has received outstanding reviews from gamers and critics. The graphics and game play on the Play Station Portable are also terrific. Whether you are a hardcore fan of the original Final Fantasy VII, or are new to the Final Fantasy franchise, you will soon become immersed in the world, and enthralled by the excellent story. If you have a Play Station Portable this is definitely a title that is worth picking up, and if you are a Final Fantasy fan it is a must own.

The style of play in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII is somewhat different than the original Final Fantasy VII. While the original was a turn based RPG, this new installment is a free form battle system that allows you to control one character at a time with the freedom to move around during battles while you are attacking. All of the principal characters from Final Fantasy VII are back, but your main character, Zack, is newly introduced during the game.

This is an outstanding game that will help provide additional details about the events leading up to the original Final Fantasy VII. The only complaint about this game is that the process to increase your characters level is random, and not as fully developed as some of the other Final Fantasy titles. Aside from that one issue this is a great game that will you enjoy playing for many hours.

The Perils of Playing with A Nintendo Wii

August 17th, 2009
by Steve Brener Roy Breet Kevin Risse

Is the Nintendo Wii the most unsafe computer games console of all time? Well, you’ve no doubt heard or seen some of the news stories that insinuate it almost certainly is. The physical risk factor stems from the means you operate the game controller that comes with the console.

In an attempt to make a more real way of affecting the onscreen action, Nintendo have given you a controller that you move back and forth around as you play. So, for example, if you were playing a computerized game of tennis, you would move to and fro the controller as if it were a tennis racket in a actual game of tennis. This introduces a lot greater interactivity and nearly all players have reacted very positively to this.

This different way of using the game controller is without doubt unique to the Nintendo Wii and makes it stand out from the existing crop of computer gaming consoles, but it has caused problems - and even real injury - to a minority of users who’ve failed to exercise the correct level of caution.

Injuries caused by the operation of the Nintendo Wii fall mainly into two categories: 1) Injuries to players themselves straining muscles etc. that they aren’t used to using, and 2) Injuries to innocent bystanders who’ve been whacked in different parts of their anatomy by flailing games players and airborne controllers.

If you want to avoid injury to yourself from playing games on the Nintendo Wii it follows that you should use a warm up routine similar to that practiced by an athlete. Don’t laugh! Perhaps it does sound slightly ridiculous to be warming up physically before playing computer games but, sincerely, a regime of stretching movements prior to playing will guarantee that your body is warmed up suitably and will help avoid strained muscles, ligaments and tendons.

To put a stop to injury to yourself if you’re in the vicinity of a Nintendo Wii player, the best thing you can do is to stand as faraway out of harms way as possible. If you’re the player and there are others sharing the area with you then simply apply rational caution. A modicum of common sense is typically all it takes to stop accidents.

On of the commonest causes of Nintendo Wii injuries is failing to make sure that the strap that goes all-around your wrist from the games controller is appropriately secured. An unsecured Nintendo Wii games controller can definitely slip out of your grasp and strike someone.

You must make sure to check the games controller wrist strap at recurrent intervals and get a replacement if the original shows any signs of wear and tear.

As long as you stick to the above tips and implement due care when playing with your Nintendo Wii, your computer game playing should be as pleasurable and safe as possible.

The Perils of Using A Nintendo Wii

Is the Nintendo Wii the most unsafe computer games console of all time? Well, you’ve no doubt heard or seen some of the news stories that suggest it most likely is. The physical threat factor stems from the manner you handle the game controller that comes with the console.

In an attempt to produce a more natural way of affecting the onscreen action, Nintendo have given you a controller that you swing around as you play. So, for example, if you were playing a computerized game of tennis, you would move back and forth the controller as if it were a tennis racket in a real game of tennis. This introduces much greater interactivity and most players have reacted very kindly to this.

This fresh means of using the game controller is surely distinctive to the Nintendo Wii and makes it stand out from the existing crop of computer gaming consoles, but it has caused problems - and even bodily injury - to a minority of users who’ve failed to put into effect the right level of carefulness.

Injuries caused by the operation of the Nintendo Wii fall chiefly into two categories: 1) Injuries to players themselves straining muscles etc. that they aren’t used to using, and 2) Injuries to innocent bystanders who’ve been whacked in assorted parts of their anatomy by flailing games players and flying controllers.

If you intend to prevent injury to yourself from playing games on the Nintendo Wii then you must use a warm up routine similar to that practiced by an sportsperson. Don’t laugh! Maybe it does sound rather ridiculous to be warming up physically before playing computer games but, sincerely, a routine of stretching exercises prior to playing will guarantee that your body is warmed up as it should be and will help avert strained muscles, ligaments and tendons.

The Greatest DS System to Date - The DSi

May 18th, 2009
by Patrick Daniels

The world of hand held electronic video games has changed a lot since the original Game Boy system so many years ago. Today, the most popular portable game console has long been the Nintendo DS, especially among children and people who prefer Nintendo games over those offered by its primary competitor, the Sony PSP. Nintendo fans are sure to rejoice, then, with the many great new features of the latest version of the DS: the Nintendo DSi.

Like previous versions of the DS, the DSi features a durable clam shell design and two interior LCD screens. It makes sense, since these features are some of the biggest selling points of the portable system. The plastic clam shell helps the system withstand a great deal of abuse - great for clumsy young fingers and hands; the two screens allow for greater game play flexibility and many very cool options. Therefore, fans of the original incarnations of the Nintendo DS will not be disappointed by the basic layout of this latest system.

The Nintendo DSi, has also included a good deal of new features that will excite long time fans, as well as gain new ones. In keeping up with their competition, Sony PSP, Nintendo has equipped the DSi with wireless capabilities, from any WiFi “hot spot”.

The DSi features two screens, as all other versions did, but the screens are larger making for clearer graphics. It also has one of the biggest changes yet, two separate cameras! One is located on the hinge facing the user and the other is on the outer shell. The system can be used to take pictures, which can be stored on SD cards, inserted in the slots located on the back.

Like Nintendo Wii, you can use the DSi to log on to a “DS Shop” and purchase games, and more using “Nintendo Points”. This enables players to install game updates, purchase entirely new games, or try out different kinds of applications. This feature is sure to please any DS fan. With the DSi, Nintendo now offers one of the most vigorous handheld system ever.

Eminems Best Album Yet!

May 15th, 2009
by Patrick Daniels

With his sixth and latest release, Relapse, rapper Eminem attempts to prove himself relevant so many years after his last album. Indeed, that was back in 2004, with Encore; a lot has changed in the world of rap music since then, and with this ambitious new CD, Eminem is working hard to show why he still matters to his fans.

Eminem has teamed up, once again, with Dr. Dre to produce most of the album tracks. With twenty tracks, this album is worth every penny. Their are an array of different songs, most return to Eminem’s roots, mixing a bit of new with a lot of the old.

Despite speculation that ‘Relapse’ would never be released, Eminem fans can be thankful it did, as it lives up to all expectations. Eminem has finely polished his skills and delivers rap ingenuity that will wow even his biggest skeptics.

Like most of his albums, ‘Relapse’, opens with a theatrical, and hilarious, scene. From there, we hear “3am”, a track depicting the thoughts of a prescription pill abusing psychopath. Eminem’s controversy factor, continues through this album, and fans will be excited that he maintain that focal point in this album.

As the record progresses, Eminem continues pulling many cringe worthy references and hilarious innuendo. Yet again, Marshall Mathers berates his mother on the song “My Mom”; no Eminem release would be complete without such a track. Again, while much of the subject matter on these tracks is hardly new territory for the famous rapper, his delivery surely is; it is more deft, cutting and confrontational than ever before - and that is really saying a lot.

Relapse is a great way to hear the artist at his finest, whether a big fan or just curious. With many new trick this is an ambitious, and wonderfully produced album.
