Well this is not so much of a surprise given that we have come very far away from the early days when Pong was the ultimate gaming experience. Today the barriers are limitless. The definition of the "Ultimate gaming experience" changes by the minute with constant technology racing faster than the cars in 'Road Rash'.
Video Gaming has evolved exponentially and has over the years had a major impact on popular culture. Today we can see its influence in popular music, movies, media and advertising and politics as well! It has the power to inform, to inspire and (considering the terrorist video games) to create controversy as well.
It is now a reason for get together, parties, friendships and even family fun.
A serious point to consider is you are as good as your console! The three major competitors in the market today are Sony's PlayStation 3, which is the top of most wish lists, closely followed by Nintendo Wii and Microsoft's XBOX 360. The game developers for each of these consoles have done an impressive job creating some groundbreaking classics such as Halo3 from XBOX, Wii games like Red Steel and Call of Duty for the PS3.
These already mean graphic machines can be further enhanced by pumping them up to 120 GB hard drives, HDMI support for the XBOX 360, whereas its backward compatibility and motion sensitive Wii controllers keeps the Nintendo the most feasible of the lot. The PS3 console packs a slot-loaded Blu-ray Disc drive for games and a system that can handle up to 7 wireless controllers using Bluetooth 2.0 as well as Wi-Fi and HDMI. Finally these consoles can also be given a makeover using customized or designer skins.
All this is now available on online stores at great prices. You can now get gaming on your sleek, lean and mean graphic machine!
