Nintendo Wii

The latest gaming console from the makers of the hit Gameboys and the nintendo DS is the wii which is also selling off very fast. Though there were some minor problems in the console in the start Nintendo overcame them to form the ultimate gaming console.

The Wii has already got many many games. the Wii is a unique console because it uses technology far advanced to any other gaming console. You need to actually move your hands to play. THe Wii has two controllers. The Wii remote and the nunchuk. For Example In tghe Legend of Zelda the nunchuk is our shield and the remote is our sword. We can can any type of attack like the spin attack and the stab attack. In games like Ultimate Alliance, which is a superhero game, we can also do combos. We need to diffuse bombs and do many other things by moving our remote. In Wii Sports we need to actually do thew movements as if we are really playing the game. Like in tennis we swing the racket for a forehand and swing the racket with both hands for a backhand. In baseball the speed with which we move are hand affects the speed of the ball or the distance the ball travels after we hit it.

The Wii comes with a sensor bar which catches even the slightest twitches from the remote. The remote is wireless. We can also buy a classic controller which looks just like a Xbox or PS3 controller.

The games available for the Wii include-

The Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess

Wii Sports

Marvels Ultimate Alliance

The Wii also has channels. Most of these channels require the use of internet. The channels include-

Mii Channel

Shop Channel

News Channel

Weather Channel

Microsoft Xbox 360

The Xbox 360 is another revelutionary gaming console which released much before the Wii or the PS3. Created as a succcesor to the Xbox, it is a very good console though not as good as the Wii. It comes in two different models. The pro and the core system. The Pro though priced more is the much more superior one for many reasons.The core system has more memory than the pro model. But the pro can use wireless and wired controllers which the core can't.The pro can use the more than one controls upto to a limit of four while the core uses only one.this is another spot where the Wii is superior. The Wii can have upto sixteen remotes attached to it at a time.the Xbox 360 is a waste when not bought as a pro model.Both the models are priced at a very high price.
Xbox has many games available on it as it released before the PS3 or the Wii.Some games include-
Fifa Germany World Cup
Halo 2
Fable
Half Life 2
The console has amazing graphics.Like the Wii it is also backward compataible. We can use games from the old generation xbox(though I don't know who would use the old Xbox).
The Xbox is perfect for multiplayer action.Be it using two controllers, using the net or using it's local cable network.
