Fancy going on holiday in your own living room? No, us neither, but that’s exactly what Wii Sports Resort is all about, minus the sunburn, currency confusion and food poisoning, obviously. Set on a tropical island, Wii Sports Resort is one of the first games to use Nintendo’s MotionPlus add-on, and comes with said waggle-sensitive attachment in the box.
The latest incarnation of Sony’s handheld games machine, the PSP-3000, is possibly the most powerful, visually-lavish handheld console that money can buy. But is it perfect? Far from it…
The Sony PlayStation 3, on paper at least, should be able to give the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii’s shins and knees a firm and deeply unpleasant kicking. Unfortunately the Xbox 360′s monumental back catalogue of games and the Wii’s inimitable, innovative style have taken the gloss off the PS3′s mantle as “the world’s most powerful games console”.
If you like to do exercise, throw, shoot, and twat things over the head, without actually leaving the confines of your lounge, then the Nintendo Wii is a really rather agreeable console.
Looks like Nintendo’s had a touch of the Apple iPods with the DSi: this is the third generation no less of the handheld console! And while the improvements may seem slight – bigger, brighter screens and a couple of low-res 0.3-megapixel cameras – the new DSi actually has a lot to offer.
The Xbox 360 might not have the processing power of the Sony PS3, but when it comes to the “Who’s Got The Biggest” game, the 360 throws down the gauntlet with its almighty back catalogue of AAA titles.
We’d forgive you for thinking there were only two contenders in the handheld gaming war. The Nintendo DS and Sony PSP have hogged so many of the headlines the GP2X almost passed by without a second glance. But here it is in all its retro glory, and it’s not half bad.
