Gaming at its best

Sorry for not posting the last week or so, got caught up in that thing called life. Ahh well, you just gotta roll with the punches.

Today I am changing things up a bit, not only will I be bringing you Classic games but I will also start to feature some great new age games, news and some great places for you to download and purchase games and other entertainment.

The first topic I am going to cover is the next gen console war. Xbox, PS3 or Wii. Which of these will reign supreme after it is all said and done?

I am personally rooting for the PS3. I applaud Sony for going out on a limb and offering this brand new technology. I takes a lot of guts for a company to put so much on the line as they are with the Blue ray technology and the other high tech options that will be available on the PS3.

The biggest complaint I hear about Sonys new console is (of course) the price tag. I agree it is a lot of money to put out for a gaming system, but I think most fail to see what you get with this price. A blue ray player (which may or may not be worth it), wireless support, the biggest hard drive for consoles available, and a machine that will most likely be your complete media center, and many other great options. These all make a $600 price tag very appealing to me.

So what about the XBox 360? Don't get me wrong it is a great gaming system, but I believe the fact that it uses current technology will be the reason it will be unable to beat out the PS3 or the Wii. Microsoft took current technology and really mastered it for its console, which is a very safe bet for them and resulted in a very solid system. However, if they really wanted to take over the console gaming industry they should have taken a chance and tried to use some new technology on their console. This is the main reason Sony will once again be the dominant power in the console wars.

Last but certainly not least is the Nintendo Wii. Expect this console to bring Nintendo back to its former glory. Although there is no way the big N will end up on top they will pull in a close second. With the extremely low price and cool new controller idea Nintendo will do extremely well this round, surpassing Microsoft, but it wont be enough to dethrone the king of the consoles, Sony.

So to wrap it up here is my ranking of how the outcome of the console wars will be;
1. Sony Playstation 3
2. Nintendo Wii
3. Microsoft XBox 360
I believe this will be the outcome but I also think the race between 1 and 2 will be very close.
