It’s 2008 and the gaming world has never looked better. Technological advancements are rapidly changing the way video games are played and experienced. With bold innovation, game developers are channeling the best in hi-tech electronics to deliver mind-blowing video game titles. In addition to the games, video game consoles are now a platform for entertainment in its many forms. Social networking and home theater technology has changed gaming consoles. As a result, video game consoles also come with a host of video game accessories that are not only important for chatting, watching movies or viewing photographs but also enhance game play.
Home theater entertainment is about hi-def and nothing less. HDMI is the new video game cable standard, set by Sony’s Play Station 3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360. Characterized by astounding picture quality, high definition games truly introduce virtual reality. Systems using older technology, like the Wii cables, aren’t really able to match the quality of a high definition signal. Nevertheless S-video cables, component cables and composite cables, which have all been used in the past, are integral to many video game consoles.
With the advent of multiplayer gaming through Xbox Live and, more recently, the Play Station Network, the need for gamer communication was heightened. A good gaming headset is essential for a hardcore gamer when battling through a multiplayer environment. Keeping in touch with team-mates scattered across the globe is made much easier with a Bluetooth headset. The wireless advantage is obvious - clutter-free convenience. Handheld systems have long relied on headsets to provide the audio output to gamers. The Nintendo DS headsets and PSP headsets are sleek earphones with a microphone for social networking.
As games become longer and infinitely more complex, the need for a storage medium, that is, video game memory, has been felt. The early 8 MB memory cards for the Sony Play Station One have been replaced by 80 GB hard drives that use high speed SATA 2 technology. Multiple flash card readers that support a variety of formats are now the standard for video game consoles. The advantage of a built-in card reader is that the gamer can choose the best memory card, rather than be forced to use a proprietary one. Another advantage of removable storage is the expanded ability of the console to handle videos, photos and music. A memory card can be quickly and easily loaded from a computer, and the multimedia accessed anytime, anywhere. A variety of memory cards for various consoles e.g. GameCube memory card, PSP memory etc. are readily available in the market now-a-days.
Video game consoles come and go. Atari, Nintendo, Sega, Commodore, Microsoft, 3D0 and many others have taught us the true meaning of what it is to be a gamer. Many did not last, which was indicative of their hardware limitations and the time period in which they were birthed. Cutting-edge was four pixels strung together to represent your on screen persona. An orchestra of sound was a single rusty tune streamed out from dusty wooden panels and the perfect controller looked more like a paddle then a traditional gamepad. Retro is out, Pacman is dead. Space Invaders is passé. From the ashes of a crumbling empire of the 80’s came Nintendo, Sony and then Microsoft. Which one is the natural successor of the NES, the Atari or the Playstation One? Which one is worthy of your hard-earned payola? It is a cliché, but it is also incredible to realise how far we have come.
· Xbox 360
Before the white lung game console with the wireless controllers appeared under our LCD TV’s, Microsoft’s earlier attempt was an unmitigated disaster financially, but heavily respected by the gamers who brought the black behemoth. A PC inside the skin of a console, the original Xbox was ahead of its time. An internal hard drive, flawless online multiplayer, high-res games and the birth of a superstar franchise – namely the Halo universe – cemented its place in the heart of fans for many years. Downsides there were a few. It was physically ugly in comparison to the Playstation and had one of the worst controllers imaginable. Microsoft imposed a tough challenge on its team: develop a new and future-proof version of its previous failure. And so the Xbox 360 was born. Akin to a piece of art, the 360 sold like hotcakes and had the game library to ensure its success. The first of the current generation of game consoles, the 360 is perfect for the online gamer who craves the best titles with the latest in graphical prowess. The DVD drive is noisy as hell though.
· Playstation 3
The Playstation 2 is selling better then the PS3 game console. This is a telling fact, with sales limping behind the Wii and the 360. Price was an issue. The president of Sony, Nobuyuki Idei, stated that “People will work harder to purchase a PS3”. With a ridiculous statement like that and a price point of $599 (initially) the PS3 was doomed from the onset. Yet, this machine has the type of specifications that tower head and shoulders above the 360 and the Wii. A Blu-Ray drive means that movies look and sound fantastic. An internal processor that supposedly has a lifespan of ten years also means that the PS3’s games could one day mirror reality in their presentation. It’s truly a pity that it is selling as well as a plague-ridden piece of cheese, though.
· Nintendo Wii
Ah yes, Nintendo video games. Every single gamer was brought up on a diet of Mario and Megaman. When Nintendo announced that they were developing a ‘motion sensitive system for all of mankind’, the planet went crazy. When the Wii was officially launched, an already crazy populance took it upon themselves to purchase every single console in existence. The Wii is the number one games console in the world. It is also the most underpowered of them all. Plus it has a dire collection of third-party titles that reflect the true garbage from rubbish software developers looking to cash in on the current Wii craze. Only first party titles, such as Mario Galaxy and Zelda, are worth the bother. With the release of the Wii-fit, Nintendo officially gained a licence to print money as it were. They have captured the heart of the casual gamer, yet left the true fan to wallow in the mire of rubbish games. Game consoles come and go, it is the quality of the games themselves that keeps them alive.

The FC Twin Video Game System has separate circuitry and card slots for both hardware NES and Super Nintendo Entertainment System, allowing it to play games for both consoles. It features a single-pole, double-throw power switch with open position; the switch can be thrown to 8-Bit (NES) or 16-Bit (SNES), or opened to Off. The FC Twin console uses Super Nintendo compatible controllers and devices such as the Super Scope, but cannot use Nintendo compatible controllers and devices such as the NES Zapper peripheral for Duck Hunt. The Super Nintendo controller buttons otherwise map to the NES controller inputs. The FC Twin connects through an RCA connector, and can be hooked into a surround sound system. When using stereo and surround output from these systems, NES sounds and music may seem very different from their typical mono output. Using output modes that properly generate mono sound, either through a single center speaker or cloned to multiple speakers, the sound output sounds mostly identical to the original NES. Now you can enjoy both the NES and the Super NES retro games without looking to replace both of your broken gaming systems. The FC Twin Video Game System is fully compatible with the FC Super Pad Controller. Features: Supports 8-Bit NES & 16-Bit SNES games Easy function switch to choose system modes Compatible with SNES controllers Includes 2 controllers, AV cable, and AC Adapter
