...Even though the PSP was released a couple years ago, it's still the hottest portable gaming system around. This handheld sensation goes way beyond gaming. The PSP can also play movies, music, tv shows, access the Internet, save photos, and hook up to your TV.

However, there is one big complaint against the PSP. All of this content can start to get insanely expensive.

That's why the Internet can be a life-saver, allowing you to get all of your PSP game downloads for free.

But first you have to find a reputable PSP download site. This is actually the hardest part, considering that most PSP download sites are borderline illegal. In fact, most o...more

Mario kart double Dash! Review for the Nintendo Gamecube

... Baby Luigi gets the chain chomp, and Bowser gets the bowser shell, etc. When deciding your characters and your carts at the beginning of the game this is something to take into consideration.

The choice of characters and all of their special items really make this game fun to play. The voice overs for the characters are also very amusing even though there is a limited variety. The game is very repetitive and for some people may only keep them interested until they beat the levels and unlock all of the items. This game is geared more toward group play rather than solitary play which is why you can play with up to four players. The split screen can be distracting and may give some people a bit of a headache, but it is a good way to involve everyone, as long as there is no more than four in that group of everyone.

The racing levels come with sixteen different tracks plus the mirror image of all those same sixteen; that adds up to a combined number of thirty-two. That is a lot to choose from. Some of these tracks are all too familiar with the SNES tracks and the other Mario kart games, but the others are very creative. You ...more

The Realism of Video Games

...ere are many video games using current events as a fantasy gaming world.

There are many theories as to the dearth of reality-based video games. Improved graphics, technology and game play make it easier to create the real world on the video game screen. It could be that developing a video game based on the battle in Afghanistan is easier to develop than starting a game from scratch with new characters, settings, storylines, etc. Perhaps it's a calculated effort to hone in on frustrated individuals who can't really join the fight: battle those terrorist creeps that you hate so much from the comfort of your own home. In the latter instance, at least, it can make for a quick way to make a quick dollar.

Mario Vs Sonic - The History Of These Two Gaming Giants

...ince creating that formula that worked perfectly, Sega have made odd choices with games forcing you to play as Sonic's less entertaining sidekicks to access the fun Sonic levels. Sonic the Hedgehog on the 360/PS3 received awful reviews. Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii seems to be the only game since Sonic Adventure that has really got it right with Sega finally realising that what made the originals so fun, was Sonic's blistering speed.

Sega's decision to no longer create consoles has no seen the creation of the first game where Mario and Sonic can go head to head called "Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games." After selling about 1 million copies of this game, it is clear this rivalry is still alive and kicking. Many have no doubt thought back to those schoolyard arguments and thought "Finally! I can prove x is better than y!"

Whatever your opinion is, it's no doubt you haven't seen your last debate on the topic. Just remember when you're ready to rip someone's throat out, it's only a game.<...more
