Another Great Nintendo 3DS Black Review

December 26th, 2011

My son has all the latest gaming machines so I got him a Nintendo 3DS Black console for his 12th birthday so he could play games anywhere he wanted. Testing your brain was all you could do with the Nintendo when it first hit the shops or so I thought.

So I was surprised to come home the following day and find my son, Lucas playing something called Resident Evil: The Mercenaries Which wasn’t the game I bought with the console the day before. I had to get rid of the first game as it was naff (useless) he said, but the school is full of cool games and I can swop them as much as I like.

As my wife put her foot down and stopped the boy taking the console to school I get to play with it during the day when I’m home. Playing the games is such a breeze now that Nintendo have introduced the new Circle Pad which makes the game play much more easy to manipulate.

The graphics and sound really give the feel of real computer game play in your hands and the new 3D effect is just fantastic to look at as it gives that feel of depth to the screen that these types of hand held console gamers never had before. The 3D effect can hurt some peoples eyes so that’s why Nintendo incorporated a 3D adjuster at the side of the screen so people could make the screen more or less 3D.

As I played the Resident Evil game I didn’t know you could be shot that many times in a game and still get up and go again. I guess my son wasn’t that impressed at the way I played There’s so many locations in Resident Evil that I find it hard to negotiate them all, but they will get harder still in the future so my son says.

With the 2 camera’s mounted on the lid of the Nintendo 3DS you can take 3D pictures in real time. When you have your picture’s you can store them on the 2 GB SD card which is inserted in the base of the console. A 2 GB card comes with the console but you can upgrade to more if you want.

Combining your photo’s with sound on the SD card is a great way to present the media through the Nintendo via a gallery. You can also update your Nintendo while your on the move via the built in Wi-Fi which will let’s you connect to those Hot Spot’s you get at coffee bars or hotels around town.

With the introduction of Wi-Fi and an app called Spot Pass you can now connect two machines anywhere there is a Hot Spot and share data with each other.

To stop all the argument’s in our house I’ve bought my own Nintendo and a copy of Resident Evil so I can play with this fantastic little machine when ever I want. You’d think that getting out my Nintendo console on the train would be a bit childish, but it just started a new craze as everybody ask’s me about different games and how to play them, its great.

Inside the Nintendo 3DS Black

December 22nd, 2011

After buying my son a Nintendo 3DS Black console for his 12th birthday I was surprised to see how great the games were as my son started playing them I always thought the Nintendo only ran those IQ brain questions to show how good you were.

My son was playing a different game to the one I purchased with the console on his birthday, but this one was so brilliant I just stood there mesmerized. With an unofficial games library at school I can swap the games I’ve played with one of my mates who has one I haven’t.

Sooner or later that boy will lose that console because either a bully or a teacher will have it off him so my wife forbade Lucas from taking it to school which gave me more time to play with it. The console is just amazing to use and so easy to operate with the new Circle Pad which is over the normal (+) control pad which makes moving the characters around the screen so much easier.

With the invention of 3D view and the brilliant graphics and sound this is one console that I don’t want to put down and walk away. To enhance the 3D view or to reduce the viewing capacity on the screen Nintendo have given you a slider button at the right of the top screen so you can adjust it to suit your eye’s and not get them strained.

I’m not getting through the levels as fast as my son but at least you can get up after getting shot and start again. Lucas wouldn’t be impressed I’m sure. It was mind boggling to be in so many different locations within the game but my son tells me that many games are more complex and harder to play and win as time goes by.

If that wasn’t complex enough now you can take photo’s with this machine as well via the 2 camera’s located on the lid about 4 ins apart. The pics can be stored on the SD card which is inserted into the side of the console base. A 2 GB card comes with the console but you can upgrade to more if you want.

With the ability to store graphics and sound on your Nintendo it wont be long before someone comes out with a photo gallery so you can combine both of these on the screen. Updating your console is now possible because Nintendo have introduced Wi-Fi to your hand held giving you the ability to connect through those Hot Spot’s you find around town’s and city’s.

With the introduction of Wi-Fi and an app called Spot Pass you can now connect two machines anywhere there is a Hot Spot and share data with each other.

Because the Nintendo is a fantastic gaming console I’ve bought my own and now sit at home playing Resident Evil to my hart’s content. Since I bought the Nintendo and use it while travelling to and fro to work other passenger’s are enquiring about the games and how to play them.

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.
