My Weekend With Xbox 360….

November 25th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Digital Bits

 

 

Sounds like the beginning of a first grade “show and tell” assignment, but in reality I have to tell the world how my Xbox 360 has corrupted my gaming sensibilities and have made me expect more from all the consoles I own. Considering the ‘box started out as a hardcore gamer’s tool of choice, Microsoft’s recent push into the casual stratosphere has been impressive, more so even than Nintendo’s. Granted the 360 does not have the casual appeal and the current sales numbers Wii does, Microsoft’s console with out any doubt offers a lot more to a casual gamer than any other system. With the recently launched “New Xbox Experience,” the console has become a benchmark for what a “for all ages,” system should look like.

 

The Xbox may not have the gimmicky Weather and News Channels in its menu, but the mere inclusion of Netflix HD movie streaming as one of it’s standard features makes me dread even powering on any system attempting to label itself as an entertainment hub. The only drawback to fully enjoying all the Xbox has to offer may have be the $60 a year price tag (Xbox Live Gold Service), but once you see what you are getting for that, I don’t think you’ll settle for anything else. Wii and PS3 offer free online services and other features that get tiresome after a few minutes of use with out sounding like a “fanboy,” the 360’s features all have long lasting usability. From communicating with gamers while everyone is playing their own games, to comparing achievements with your buddies, the experience is enjoyable each time you boot up.

 

Microsoft Messenger may not be big in the states, but it’s the default instant messenger for the world over. Being able to instant message while you play or watch movies with out having to quit what you are doing is a brilliant demonstration that this console’s features were created to please the consumer. Everything on the interface is intuitive and makes you fall in love with how great the 360 really is. It may not have a Blue Ray player, but since you can stream HD movies directly from your console kills the only argument the Sony camp ever had.

Los Juegos Clasicos De Esta Semana Son…

November 19th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Digital Bits

Uno de los primeros de Atari, quien no se acuerda estas naves espaciales intentando adueñarse del planeta. Aun que un juego sumamente basico, su nostalgia lo hace que valga la pena jugarlo un rato.

Lo que nos dice la pagina oficial:

Experience one of gaming’s iconic franchises in this perfect rendition of the arcade classic! Take aim at the field of invaders relentlessly marching toward you. Move quickly, but carefully, and use the barriers for protection as you avoid missiles fired by the aliens and try to destroy all of them before they reach the bottom of the screen. Further enhance the nostalgia by choosing from several modes that simulate different versions of the arcade game (such as upright cabinet or black and white). Or if you want to prove your superior skills to a friend, try the brand-new VS mode and see who can stop the alien menace the quickest. All in all, it’s pure gaming at its best, now with no quarters required!

Y manteniendos en el espacio, CAPCOM nos brinda Forgotten Worlds, mundo olvidados que necesitan de la ayuda de un gran piloto como tu.

FORGOTTEN WORLDS™ is a one- to two-player simultaneous side-scrolling shooter made by CAPCOM CO., LTD. It was one of the first games to incorporate 360-degree aiming and shooting. This SEGA GENESIS version provides the same impact and intensity of the classic arcade game. The time: the 29th century. Without warning, warships broke through the sky, loaded with fiendish aliens. They rained down fire, bombs, missiles, and napalm, making it barren and inhospitable. Humanity was enslaved, and Earth became known as the Forgotten World. In a hidden place, a group of brave humans raised two male children in secret. They brought up the young men as warriors, training them for battle. The two warriors emerged as armed machines of might, strength, and super power-the Nameless Ones. Fight the hateful invaders as the powerful Nameless Ones! Collect Zenny to upgrade your weapons and satellite, and free the planet that was once called Earth.

Wii-Ware Nos Brinda Dos Juegos Esta Semana.

November 19th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Digital Bits

Strong Bad, el capitulo numero cuatro llega al servicio de Wii-Ware para que lo descargues y te mueras de la rias con esa aventura interactiva. Sin te gustan las cosquillas pues descargalo hoy.  Nitendo.com:

Move over, generically buff action heroes! Strong Bad is here to show you how it’s done in his handcrafted cinematic masterpiece, Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective. You play Dangeresque, a dirty cop in pursuit of a little action and several big sacks of cash. Can our hero stay alive long enough to defeat his archnemesis, save the world, and get the girl? Looks like he’s gonna have to jump…

 

Este jueguito se lo juego en muchas universidades acompañado por unas frias cervezas. Por lo menos en Estados Unidos, no falta este juego en cada fiesta “tailgates” situadas en los parqueaderos de los estadios de futbol americano. Asi lo describe Nintendo.com:

Target Toss Pro: Bags is a new video game based on beanbag toss-the nation’s hottest backyard and tailgate sensation. Bags, or Cornhole as they call it in some parts of the country, originated in the Midwest in the 1960s and has since become a staple at outdoor social events from coast to coast. Bags is a deceptively simple, yet extremely competitive game where players try to toss beanbags into a hole in a slightly raised platform or “box” for points, similar to horseshoes. Whether at a tailgate party or a summer barbeque, the game has become a social focal point, and the unmistakable thud of bags hitting the box is now a universal party sound track.
