What Reviews say about 'Nintendo DSi XL ' ?



Preinstalled games and software..

Nintendo DSi XL (bronze):CNet

The bottom line: At the end of the day, the DSi XL is exactly the same as the DSi, so unless you're desperate for more touch-screen real estate, or your vision is impaired, we can't recommend a purchase over the original DSi.

without a commensurate resolution upgrade and images start to look pretty fuzzy.

Review: Nintendo DSi XL, for Some Eyes Only - PCWorld:PCWorld

The XL's displays are easier to see--text in particular--making it a shoe-in for anyone with eyesight issues (older players in particular). *

worlds most successful handheld consoles

DSi XL Review:hubpages.com

This is much more useful for text based games, with clearer writing, and more space to draw with the stylus for games such as Scribblenauts. *

stunning screen size

Nintendo DSi XL review (with video review):t3.com

The standard DSi is far more convenient and apart from the smaller screens, does the job just as well in all other areas. Games are easier to play and stylus use will be more accurate. *

Low-res text looks rough on the big screens.

Nintendo DSi XL review :Stuff.tv

Big-handed, short-sighted gamers of the world rejoice. Everyone else . shrug and stick with your old DS

without a commensurate resolution upgrade and images start to look pretty fuzzy.

Nintendo DSi XL review:pcadvisor

Nintendo's super-sized Nintendo DSi XL gaming console makes images bigger and text easier to read, but loses out on handheld comfort and visual fidelity. *

good graphics

Nintendo DSi XL – not support for old DSiWare games:Etechreviews.net

The company has sold 128 million units around the world and any other gaming console does not become so appealing towards the franchise system. It will be released within one year and remains backward compatible with previous DS games. *

What Reviews say about 'Sony PS3 Slim ' ?



helpful "Best console

Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (120GB):CNet

The bottom line: With a smaller design, more energy-efficient operation, lower price tag, and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the PS3 Slim delivers a compelling package for an affordable price.

all the impressive gaming

Sony PS3 Slim:Reg Hardware

A quiet and compact powerhouse of a console, hampered by a limited range of quality titles and no backward compatibility with PS2 games.

The new PS3 is smaller, quieter, and more energy effiecient thanks to a new 45nm processor.

Sony PS3 SLIM Review:hubpages.com

The new PS3 is smaller, quieter, and more energy effiecient thanks to a new 45nm processor. *

Good graphics

Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (120 GB) Review:consumersearch.com

Excellent Blu-ray player. *

the PS3 is more accessible overall.

Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) Slim console review :Pocket-lint

Blu-ray looks fantastic on the PS3 and it is widely regarded as one of the best Blu-ray players out there, thanks to the easy updatability and connectivity that the rest of the box offers. *

the original PS3 was competitive at $700 — although some cheaper units did just as good a job.

Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (120GB):GOODGEARGUIDE

With its slicker body and reduced price point, the PlayStation 3 Slim is vastly more enticing than its costly predecessor. As Blu-ray players go, it's pretty hard to beat -- and that's before you even factor in the games. If Microsoft claims it's not worried by the new PS3, it needs to take a closer look. One thing's for sure: the console race just got interesting.

A sturdy console which is well worth its price, we think.

PS3 Slim:gameguru.in

A sturdy console which is well worth its price, we think. The high-definition Blu-ray player is ideal for either gaming or for watching your favorite Blu-ray movies, and it plays CDs and DVDs with ease. *

What Reviews say about 'Sony PSP Go ' ?



Awkward placement of analog stick, volume, and display controls.

Sony PSP Go (black):CNet

The bottom line: The PSP Go is a sleek and sexy redesign, but its high price tag and some frustrating caveats mean it's not a must-have upgrade for existing PSP owners--at least for now.

You'll still want to keep a cleaning cloth handy for the screen, of course.

Sony PSP Go Game Review - PCWorld:PCWorld

Costly and compatibility-conflicted, Sony's PSP Go marries design elegance and disc-free gaming with worrisome pricing and upgrade uncertainty.

solid handheld media device

Sony PSP Go:hubpages.com

 The new games should be pretty good, however they do not seem to bring anything new to the table. *

it does at least keep the device looks clean on the front.

Sony PSP Go console review :Pocket-lint

The screen looks fantastic and with the 16GB storage capacity, you can fill it with music and movies to take with you on the move. It's a screen so tasty that you'll want to cover it too so you don't scratch it to pieces in your pocket. Designed to make playing games more accessible on the go, Sony has created the PSP Go, a smaller, more pocketable offering of its handheld gaming console. *

Output from the speakers flanking the screen is surprisingly decent for a pair of built-ins.

Sony PSP Go Review - Hardware - Games:CNet.com

We love its slimmer, sexier, more pocket-friendly shape, as well as its pause and restore anywhere feature, but the PSP Go doesn't quite add enough to the mix to justify its price tag.

This new psp looks cool and is lighter as well!!

Sony PSP Go – Smaller Sleeker Better:Etechreviews.net

Accessing them was easy when the screen was slid up. *

The controls are pleasantly tight, yet also a bit "clicky" for good tactile feedback.

Sony PSP Go Review:Brighthand

The controls are pleasantly tight, yet also a bit "clicky" for good tactile feedback. *

What Reviews say about 'Nokia N-Gage ' ?



good smart phone and gaming device

Nokia N-Gage QD (T-Mobile):CNet

The bottom line: Nokia's N-Gage QD second-generation gaming cell phone corrects the most glaring mistakes of its predecessor.

Cons Lacklustre games list.

Nokia N-Gage :Stuff.tv

The PSP won.t exactly be having panic attacks but, with some more titles, N-Gage could yet make its mark on mobile gaming

it a fantastic gaming device

Geek.com PDA Review: Nokia N-Gage QD:Geek.com

 

the graphics are quite good.

Nokia N-Gage Game:blog.taragana.com

The graphics of Brother in Arms is quite good. The walls, guns, buildings etc are identifiable perfectly, especially with QVGA screen. A mobile phone screen was too short for me to concentrate for a long time. The save game option is surely inadequate. Strategy games have so many things to consider other than fast action that you really need a big screen. *

pretty cool phone-cum-gaming device

NOKIA N-GAGE QD - Smartphones - Phones - Lifestyle - Reviews - PC Authority:PCAuthority

The 3D processor is good, so you can get some reasonable depth-of-field gaming on the device, and with games ranging from $39.95 to $59.95, it's not an expensive option. *

expandable memory

Nokia N-Gage QD:mobiletracker.net

Bluetooth
Within a few minutes I was able to use the N-Gage QD to get internet access on my PowerBook. Performance outside was acceptable. *

the gaming feature is awesome.

N-GAGE QD – THE ULTIMATE GAMING MACHINE:mouthshut.com

It doesn’t contain a theme changer and its phone memory is pretty low (3-4 MB). *

several console-exclusive titles

Microsoft Xbox 360 (20GB):CNet

The bottom line:
With its extensive digital media features, a superior online service, and an excellent game library, the Xbox 360 remains the game console to beat.

super fast memory

Hands-On Preview: Xbox 360:PCMAG

It's possible to connect an mp3 player via a USB port and play your music on your Xbox 360--even as you're playing a game. *

free game and movie trailers

Microsoft Xbox 360 (20GB):review.zdnet.com

With its extensive digital media features, a superior online service, and an excellent game library, the Xbox 360 remains the game console to beat.

Fantastic graphics.

Microsoft Xbox 360:TechRadar.com

As a PVR it's outstanding, and the fact that this shiny new console can display all your recorded content from the living room without having to stick an ugly PC in your rack is a bonus that shouldn't be underestimated. Fantastic graphics. *

the Xbox 360 hardware is top-notch.

Xbox 360 Review:Winsupersite.com

The hard drive is responsible for a good bit of the Xbox 360's noise output. *

Fantastic graphics.

Microsoft Xbox 360 Review:TechRadar.com

Undoubtedly, this is currently the best console available

the complement of accessories is drastically stepped up.

The Xbox 360:Hometheatermag.com

All games are also optimized for 16:9 widescreen viewing, like modern widescreen DVDs, and support antialiasing technology for an even more natural-looking picture on HDTVs. *
