Advantages: teach a child how to look after a pet
Disadvantages: can be lost easily

There probably aren't many families with children that haven't heard of a Tamagotchi in their house. Whether they've bought them for the kids or the kids friends have one, and they have played on it, one way or another there will be a connection to one of these little toys. *What are they * Tamagotchi's are a virtual pet, living in an egg shaped brightly coloured plastic case for children to look after. When you first start playing with these ...
...be a boy or girl and you don't get to know until the egg is hatched. Next you will have to choose a name for your pet. Sounds simple enough doesn't it. But what's the appeal to kids? Last year these things were all the rage, and I ended up having to go into town on Christmas Eve when I thought I'd finished all my shopping to get one because my ten year old wanted one for Christmas and I had forgotten. *History * Tamagotchi's were invented by ...

...The Nintendo Wii is a game concole that is completely different to all others and in my opinion is much better than others. As of old times all you could do was wiggle the button to make people move. But with the Nintendo Wii you can actually move the controller instead of the buttons to move players or objects. ~HISTORY~ The concole was thought up in 2001. An interview with Nintendos concol creater confirmed this as he said that there were to many ...
...to the Style crew at Nintendo its not Nintendo Wii, just Wii.The best known announcement for the name is that wii sounds like we and its symbolising that its for everyone.

Advantages: Great graphics, sound, xbox live, games
Disadvantages: none!

The Xbox 360 has got to be THE best gaming console EVER. With it's Xbox live system (more than a match for the ps3 network) it is by far much better than any other console around. The graphics on the Xbox are very, very good, especially on a HD television. Although the graphics on the ps3 are the same. The Controller has a really nice feel to it as it almost 'moulds' to your hand. Xbox live is so totally awesome, you can have loads of friends, talk ...
...what you want to say. The Xbox system notifies you whenever any of your friends come online and you can pause your game and go into your Xbox hub to talk to them or add them to the game you are playing. There is also lots of games that are exclusive to the Xbox 360 that are extremely good such as gears of war and the Halo series. Value for money is great also; you could probably pick up a brand new core console for £180. Or you could get a more ... Read review

...The reason I love the Nintendo DS is because it is a touch screen. This makes it very interactive, the different games that you get allow you to do different things on the touch screen. Such things like in Pokemon Ranger you can catch pokemon by drawing a circle around the pokemon. Or in Cooking mama 2: cooking with friends. You can use the stylus and touch screen to cut, grater, stir, break etc food. The amount of games you can play on this system ...
