| Parent’s Guide To Video Game Systems Posted: 07 Mar 2011 01:10 AM PST Parent’s Guide To Video Game Systems At HomeComputerGames.com we get a lot of emails from parents asking about the various types of video games and gaming systems that are available. More than once I have heard “What exactly is a Halo 3? I can see how this can all be a bit daunting to a parent buying video games for their children. With so many different types of systems available it is often hard for someone that doesn’t play video games to keep up with it all. There is Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, PS2, PSP, RPG, ESRB….. Here I have put together this Parent’s Guide to Video Game Systems in hopes that I might help prevent some poor parent from suffering the shame and embarrassment of not knowing what the hell your kid is talking about. To start you may want to familiarize yourself with some of the components of a “Gaming Systems”. Gaming Console: This is the actual component that the gaming media that contains the actual game, such as a DVD or CD, is played on. Without this there is no gaming system as this contains your CPU, memory, and other such input and output ports. Gaming Controllers: These are your input device for playing the game. These are much like a mouse or keyboard that you use on your computer. Many controllers contain an array of buttons that perform various actions such as making a character in the game run or shoot a gun or some other assigned function. **A PC is a type of gaming system and in turn gaming systems are a type of PC Video Game Media: The most common type of Video Game Media are DVD, CD, Gaming Cartridge, and downloaded files. **Note that each video game is proprietary to it’s own Gaming System but may exist for several different types of Gaming Systems. So you might find a certain game is available for the PC and for the Xbox 360 but not available for Nintendo Wii or PS3. Each video game will state on the cover what Gaming System it is for. Viewing Screen:The Gaming Console has to be connected to some sort of monitor or TV to view the game on. Some of the Portable Gaming Systems have small Monitors built into them much like many cellphones now have. In fact many cellphones contain gaming systems along with the rest of their many functions. This section below explains several of the more popular gaming systems along with the necessary hardware. Some gaming systems may have gaming accessories that are compatible for other types of gaming consoles. But this is not the norm and for the most part gaming consoles have their own “proprietary” gaming accessories and games. Gaming Systems: PC: Technical Specs Xbox 360: Many new releases for the Xbox 360 are anticipated with zeal from gamers with many titles being sold out within hours of release. You may choose to Pre-Order many popular games before they are released to the public insuring that the game is secured for the customer with the game arriving a day or two after the official release. There are no extra charges in pre-ordering and this is a sure fire way to insure that you get your game before they are sold out. Technical Specs Nintendo Wii: The Nintendo Wii was the top selling gaming console sold during 2007 and revolutionized the meaning of video games by introducing a video game entitled the Wii Fit, that caused you to get out of your chair and exercise. The game includes all sorts of exercise competitions and has an exercise manager to help you keep track of your workouts. Technical Specs Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3): A major feature that sets the PS3 above the PS2 is it’s online gaming service, the PlayStation Network. The PS3 was also the first Blu-ray 2.0-compliant Blu-ray player on the market. Other features include its multimedia capabilities, connectivity with the PlayStation Portable, and its use of a high-definition optical disc format, Blu-ray Disc. Several revisions to the system have been made with Sony now offering various versions such as the 20 GB model and the Premium model with a 60 GB hard drive. Technical Specs These are the newest gaming systems available. Not to be forgotten are the portable gaming systems such as the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) and the Nintendo DS. These gaming systems are small portable handheld systems perfect for the on the go gamer and for family vacations. The two mentioned do interact with their big brothers the PS3 and the Nintendo Wii respectively. But this is for another article as I am sure you have read quite enough about video game systems for the moment. More Pc Games Articles

| Posted: 07 Mar 2011 12:41 AM PST Consumer Reports Best Laptop When it comes to the public reaction it is a bit hard to tell what is true and what is a fairy-tale. Based on a bit of research I’ve done over the internet, I think I’ve managed to find two systems that are truly among those with a “five-star” rating in the top left corner. Last year, the 12.1 inch MSI mini laptop such as Acer BTP-APJ1, Acer BTP-AQJ1, Acer BTP-ARJ1, Wind U230 (or U230 MSI Wind12 as is known), kept appearing and disappearing from all sites and even from online stores or official pages of MSI. Now it seems to have returned and is already being offered for sale on Amazon, with a price of 480 dollars in two color options (white or black). Hoping that we aren’t talking about another “ghost”, let’s move quickly through the technical specifications of MSI Wind12 U230, one of the laptops that got the best customer reports. The first thing that it’s worth taking into consideration is the L335 AMD Athlon X2 dual core processor with a frequency of 1.6 GHz. This system also has the option for a MV-40 Neo Athlon processor for the more “gaming” customers. This mini laptop is equipped with an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card, 2 GB RAM (supports up to 4 GB) of RAM memory and a generous 250 GB ( hard drive ) for storage. It also comes equipped with an 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi connection, there is an option for Bluetooth, and Windows 7 Home Premium as an operating system. Its glossy 12.1 inch display has a recommended resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. Wind12 U230 has an integrated 1.3 MP webcam, HDMI plug, VGA port, 3 USB 2.0 ports, 4-in-1 card reader (SD / MMC / MS / XD) and a 6 cell battery that provides an autonomy just a bit over 4 hours. It measures 18.8 cm x 29.7 cm x 2.4-3.1 cm and weighs 1.45 kg with a 6 cell battery. It weights 1.3 kg with 3 cell battery. Last month, Acer launched its first notebook with 3D display, the Acer 5738DG is dedicated to hardcore gamers, and to all those interested in advanced graphics, photography and design. Although a 3D display is quite demanding, often requiring a certain angle from which the image will describe everything clearly, it indeed provides a very interesting visual experience. In addition, it appears that 3D Layer works quite well even without special glasses. Its 3D display makes this laptop rather unique and, without any doubt one of the best rated laptops by its customers. The specifications include a display of15.6 inch (39.6 cm) and a TriDef 3D display, 1366 x 768 pixels with 3D effect. Black & Decker VEC1026BD Electromate 250 Portable Power Supply and Jump-Starter

| Camera Reviews: Nikon D5000 Digital SLR Camera (with 18-55mm lens) Posted: 07 Mar 2011 12:25 AM PST Camera Reviews: Nikon D5000 Digital SLR Camera (with 18-55mm lens) The Nikon D5000 digital SLR camera is the much anticipated replacement model to the wonderful Nikon D80 that was considered to be a top-of-the-line model for quite a long time. Overall, the D5000 did live up to all the hype and expectations. For its price, this model comes with an impressive feature kit. It comes with an 18-55mm lens that is very sharp and has good focus. It uses a 12.3MP image sensor. The Nikon D5000 digital SLR camera is also extremely fast. From a cold start, it is ready to take its first shot is just 0.2 seconds. It shot-to-shot time is at just 0.5 seconds and a typical shutter lag time of 0.3 seconds. The only other model (in its class) in the market that matches this speed is the Canon EOS Rebel T1i. The quality of the images taken on the Nikon D5000 digital SLR camera is extremely good. The images were well saturated and bright. The colors were also very accurate (realistic). The quality of the images was also good at high ISOs. It can also record HD videos at 720p. Although acceptable, the quality of the HD videos were nothing much to shout about. Another great feature on this model is the 2.7-inch rotating LCD display. It flips downwards and can be rotated at various angles, making it easier to take shots in odd positions. It can even be rotated inwards (facing the camera) so that you don't need to use a protective plastic cover to prevent it from scratching. The only downside to it is that it is hard to view under bright sunlight. The Nikon D5000 digital SLR camera can also be used with the optional Nikon GPS device and also a built-in wireless flash control.
The Nikon Coolpix P100 Digital Camera is a bridge camera, somewhere in between a compact and a digital SLR. In this video I give you a tour around the features and share my opinion. Includes photo and video examples taken with the P100.
