Madden NFL 09

EA sure is hasty-especially when it comes to getting ready for the football season. On June 23, EA announced that Madden NFL will
available nation-wide on August 12. Sporting 85 new features and enhancements- like gameplay that adapts to any player's skill level, a new broadcast presentation from Cris Collinsworth and Tom Hammond and improved online leagues- this game is totally spruced up. This game will be available for the PS3, XBOX 360, PS2, DS and the XBOX.

Another version- NFL-09 All Play will be available for the Wii taking advantage of the Wii-mote.

NPD results are in: PS3 back on top of Xbox 360

PlayStation 3 has reclaimed the top spot in May, topping the Xbox 360 hardware sales by a cool 20,000 units. According to NPD data, Sony managed to shift 208,700 PS3s, while Microsoft lingered on 186,000 units.

May's results are particularly interesting as they demonstrate just how many units the long, long awaited Grand Theft Auto sequel managed to shift. The answer in both cases is basically 'not a hell of a lot'.

Sony is up on its lackluster performance in April, but an extra 20,000 units basically means that probably only a fraction of people who bought GTA IV used it as a specific reason to pick up a console. Guess it wasn't quite the system seller it was supposed to be.

You can guess who won the GTA IV units competition. Xbox's version of the game racked up nearly double the number of sales over the PS3 version, which is a victory for them considering PlayStation's close ties with former entries in the GTA series, but not entirely unexpected given Microsoft's ongoing hardware lead in the region.

Sony will, however, need more than a few months of topping Xbox 360's hardware sales by 20k units if it's to claw back that lead advantage.

Power bills=Sky High? Solution: TURN OFF YOUR GAME CONSOLE!!!

Are your power bills sky-high? Do you own a game console! Its the culprit!!!Really!!! A test ran by an Aussie shows that if you left your PS3 on for a full year it would cost you a gazillion 10,647 Rs!!! Surely thats a lot!Of course nobody would leave their PS3s on for a full year-but it just goes to show that the PS3 is the power-bill-culprit consuming a tremendous 195 and above watts when under full load!!!

Well don't be surprised-because even the Xbox-360 is no exception costing a hefty
8,311 Rs(for a full year)!!! Well the humble Wii only costs a meager 1006 Rs :)!!!

Here's another fact-the PS3 is the most energy wise console among the lot(with it's back switch on) and the Wii to be console consuming the power with Connect24 on!!!

So since you have a solution-Adiós!!!

The best game console ever....

The Xbox 360 is a Microsoft product and as you would expect the Dashboard(or the Xbox's basic interface) is very smooth and intuitive whereas the PS3's XMB or X-cross media bar is simple yet easy navigate. The PS3's background which changes color according to the time of the day appeals to many users.

Even though Microsoft charges gamers to play their games online the Xbox Live has a large community,but the PS3's Playstation Network is fast catching up with its free service.

One advantage with the PS3 is that Sony is releasing updates for the Ps3 just as the same way it is for the PSP which adds some very cool features. One of the best features of the PS3 which I liked is REMOTE PLAY which allows users to access their PS3s from anywhere in the world through internet or to access the PS3 without turning on their TV sets-this is a very good feature which I believe Sony has really worked upon. Xbox too has some nifty features like being able to play streamed media from your Media Center PC. Both the Xbox and the PS3 support High-Definition output even though none of them come bundled with HDMI cables.

At first Sony released what is known as a "SIXAXIS controller" adds a functionality by which you can swing the controller or so to move the character-but many gamers grumbled because Sony had not added rumble support. Finally after a long time Sony released the Dual Shock 3 which adds rumble in addition to the sixaxis functionality.

The Xbox controller has  a very cool feature by which users can connect a headphone to the jack which is in the controller itself-or connect a mini keyboard while chatting. Although none of these accessories come bundled with the console itself they are selling like hot cakes.

Both the consoles have a very fast processor which surpass the ones in any commercial PCs. Microsoft's Xbox has a ATI graphics card whereas the PS3 has a Nvidia graphics card.

All we can say now is ...LET THE BATTLE CONTINUE!!!
