Playstation Eye

Advantages: Good Mic, Good Camera
Disadvantages: Lack of compatible games and features.

...This is a good little addition to the playstation 3 acessories collection. This camera/microphone is probably the best one out for the playstation at the moment. The camera boasts great features such as voice recognition microphone which in my personal opinion is spot on! it filters out uneccesary noises (dog, hoover,fridgefreezer) and is great because there is no echo in game. The main disadvantage of the voice recognition is the fact that you can only use it when you are in a quiet environment with nobody there as it will pick up on any conversation in and out of the room. As for the camera its zoom and auto focus make it very easy to use however the zoom is manual and only has two settings either really close or really far away. (depending on room size and position) The camera is fully interactive with compatible playstion eye games...

Review of Sony PLAYSTATION Eye Camera

Play, play, play little station

Advantages: Easy to find, cheap, tons of games available
Disadvantages: none really

...I owned a Playstation when they were new, I didn't buy mine right away though. Instead I was sensible and waited for a 1st then 2nd price drop when I bought mine in 1996. New games were still being released pretty much every week so you had a huge choice. I've had my current Playstation for over 8 years now having bought it off Ebay with a few games, a memory card and an extra controller for under £30. It was slightly damaged (the aerial input wire is a bit loose) but it works fine with a bit of tape to keep it in place. Games are easy to come by and just keep getting cheaper & cheaper. Extras memory cards & controllers are also still cheap and will work if you ever decide to upgrade to a PS2. The Playstation is a work horse, it has good and bad games but the good ones really make the best of its onboard hardware. Its...

Dreams Above Its (Play)Station

Advantages: Vibrant and pretty graphics, excellent FMV's, long, good ideas
Disadvantages: Poor control, frustrating, lack of extra lives, overly-complex level layouts

...Over the years, I have seen many games come and go. You remember the very best, you remember the very worst and you vaguely recall all the sequels, annual updates and games that tried to do things differently. 40 Winks must have been floating around right at the very back of my subconscious for some considerable time, maybe because it didn't fit comfortably into any of the above categories. But when a friend of mine bought it recently, it was enough to spark that distant recollection of the game doing the rounds in the magazines all those years ago, and as it had been some time since I had sampled a demo, I decided it was worth a closer look. Released back in 1999 for the PlayStation, 40 Winks is a kid-aimed 3D platformer that followed hot on the heels of the success stories that were Crash Bandicoot 3 and Spyro The Dragon, and was...

Review of 40 Winks (PlayStation)

A fitting end to Resident Evil on the PlayStation

Advantages: Good graphics and gameplay, fun weapons, some interesting replay options
Disadvantages: A little samey at times

...rounds could often mean the difference between life and death. Resident Evil 2 expanded the story of its predecessor, introducing new characters, featuring improved graphics and a more complex plot. And so we come to Resident Evil Nemesis - the third entry to the main series, and the last of the big Resi titles on the PlayStation. You play as Jill Valentine, a member of STARS Alpha Team from the first game. Disgraced after the Mansion Incident, she has quit the police force but continues her efforts to expose the ill deeds of the evil Umbrella Corporation. Unfortunately for her, she gets caught up in the T-Virus outbreak in Raccoon City before she can act. Trapped in the zombie infested town, she soon finds herself allied with Carlos Olivera, an Umbrella mercenary brought in to help combat the outbreak, while at the same time being hunted...

Review of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (PlayStation)

Playstation

Advantages: fun
Disadvantages: nothin'

...Since the release of the Playstation, children all over England can't stop talking about the cool games console. The Playstation has wicked features and hundreds of games ranging from Teken - a high class fighting game - F1 Racing - a cool racing game - Grand Theft Auto - a wicked new style game to even Tomb Raider - featuring well-known character Lara Croft.

Review of Sony PlayStation

Buy a PlayStation and sign your life away

Advantages: Fantastically addictive
Disadvantages: Fantastically addictive

...In the beginning there was Pong. It didn't smell (boom-boom) but it was highly addictive, if a little boring after a while. Then there was Atari, and then Nintendo and Sega, and it was good. Then it wasn't so good, and wasn't really going anywhere, and needed a good kick up the jacksie. So God's computer-games specialist angels assigned Sony, the world's biggest electronics company and inventors of the walkman, to, in 1994, make the PlayStation. It revamped the gaming world, turned the gaming industry into bigger bucks than the film industry, and made thumb-tapping at home cool again. And it was good. And they were pleased. ('They' being Sony's filthy rich board of executives.) So there's my potted history of gaming, à la The Bible. Now onto the serious stuff. I'll begin very basic, as I realise there are people out there who are so...

Decent dance mat for use with Playstation DDR games

Advantages: Allows you to play fantastic dance mat games, good value for a sturdy mat
Disadvantages: Can creep across the floor - needs better underside, different to arcade machine DDR

...Dance mat games are a great way to exercise , and are very satisfying as you go up through to difficulty levels, improve mentally and physically. The game is also great fun in small parties and gatherings, where there are plenty of songs that a beginner can complete. A fabric dance mat is the basic requirement for plying these dance games on the playstation one and the PS2.t I got a Logic 3 dance mat bundled with my first DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) game, and really enjoyed playing it. The game was similar to the DDR arcade games (with none of the long steps where you have to stay on the pad), and this suited the Logic 3 mat well. This mat lasted about 3 years, but the 'down' arrow broke after being stored incorrectly - always fold the mats between the buttons, as the mat is originally packaged to avoid damage. I then went to search...

Review of Logic 3 Playstation Dance Mat

Purple Playstation Perfection

Advantages: Incredible freedom, beautiful & unique levels, terrific soundtrack
Disadvantages: It can become very hard finding those last few gems to get 100% completion

...I remember being only 9 when I picked up this game from some small department store downtown and popped it into my brand new Playstation 1. What I don't remember is how the game suddenly managed to so cleverly pull me into it's world that I played it for countless hours on my first try, time and reality not seeming to matter. I'm 17 now, frequently still play this game, and the same thing happens to me. This is definitely the mysterious magic of Spyro the Dragon: a power to completely lose yourself in beautiful fantasy worlds? and just when you think you've found your way around, you get lost all over again. The story begins in Spyro's homeland in the Dragon Kingdom. He and the elder dragons are relaxing in the bright sun amongst the frolicking sheep and blossoming flowers. That is, until the banished Gnasty Gnorc comes with his big...

Review of Spyro the Dragon (PlayStation)

Bring Abe back to the play station

Advantages: Hours and hours of fun
Disadvantages: apart from being a bit frustrating none

...to remember which button does what but once you get the hang on if its not to bad, it is very addictive and very funny. Abe can even fart then posses the fart and move it over a creature and then blow it up. I have enjoyed playing this game again as i was playing the first game Abes Oddysee but i was upset that Munchs Oddysee was then released on the xbox, i think they should bring it back to the playstation. The overall graphics of the game considering how old it is are brilliant. You can play both games 1 and 2 on play station 2 with no problems as long as you have a PS1 memory card as it wont save on a PS2 memory card. Please Please bring it back to play station so we can enjoy the rest of Abes games....

Review of Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus (PlayStation)

Playstation or Hatestation you decide

Advantages: Pratically everything here is an advantage to itself!
Disadvantages: Sometimes the games fort his console are getting behind the times

...-BOx and PS2. Looking at it aswell, you will soon notice its not really that much bigger than a CD case. I cant really mention the manufacturer support because I have never had a problem. But a friend had a problem with his, phoned them up and they gave him an address to send it to. He had a new one sent back within 3 weeks which I think is fairly good! And yes, consoles are getting better all the time, but this is a MUST have! It looks lovely, sounds lovely, plays lovely. So why not have it in the back room....
