PlayStation2 Slimline

Advantages: Smaller, Lighter, Quieter
Disadvantages: Flimsy Disk Flap

...I am sure you can tell from the name of this product, Sony PlayStation2 Slimline, that this product is alot smaller in size and shape to its bidder brother, The Sony Playstation2. This new design was released in September 2004 and overall, it is much prefered to its previous because of its weight, size, sound and mobility. In my opinion, the slimline model is much more attractive than the origonal one because it is so much smaller. The thickness of this product has been reduced to under 3cm which is almost one third the thickness of the older version. As a result, the PlayStation2 Slimline looks much more compact and in my view, the smaller the better. Furthermore, not only has the size of the product been reduced, but also te weight too, which again, adds to the appeal of the product. Overall the slimline version has lost half...

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 - Slimline Model (PS2)

One of the best RPG for Playstation console

Advantages: Good storyline, fun and enjoyable to play, good soundtrack and game system
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...Breath of Fire 3 (BOF3) is one of my favorite RPG game for PSone console. And for me is the best of the Breath of Fire series. It has a very good storyline, characters and skills variety, unique mini-games. Though it's not in fully 3D like most PSone games, the graphic is not disappointing, it's colorful, drawn beautifully accompanied with good soundtracks. It's one of those games where there's not just only black and white, good or bad, making the story very interesting to follow. The story of BOF3 primarily revolves regarding an extinct race called the "Brood". This race has the ability to turn themselves into dragon with extraordinary powers. Centuries ago there was a violent war between the brood and the Goddess and her followers, resulting the extinction of the race, and those who survived were forced to hide. With such amazing...

Review of Breath of Fire III (PlayStation)

The Playstation is still the best console out there.

Advantages: The price and the selection of games
Disadvantages: The power isn't all that great.

...When the Playstation first came out it was praised for its power and albilities but then when the Nintendo 64 came out the Playstation was rated as being old and not powerful enough.But the number of Playstations sold was far more than the N64 which proves that power isn't everything.The Playstation is still the most popular console around due to its cheap and popular games and the price of the console itself was also a bonus.Most people think that when consoles come out at a high price that its not worth buying and I agree.However, if you wait a year or so the price rapidly decreases and the sales shoot up.The Playstation still remains the best console and when the Playstation 2 comes out it will still be a strong contender....

Playstation 3: Next-Gen capable?

Advantages: Eye-Candy. Visuals and Sound are stunning. Ease of option navigation. Downloadable classics.
Disadvantages: A bit pricy. Kinda heavy to carry about.

...I try not to sound like a fanboy when talking to my peers about Sony's new, Next Generation Console. But sometimes i find it hard not to. While it has been out for almost two years now, it still manages to make me smile at its robust capabilities. The Playstation 3, while not the cheapest of the newer game consoles, certainly provides some quality for its price: For starters, in my opinion, it is very sleek and stylish looking when viewed from afar or up close. Two buttons on the front give you the basic functions of ejecting the disc and turning it on and off. No tray required for this bad boy, as it uses rollers to accept the disc inside. Underneath a small hood hide plug-ins for various USB and memory slots, while just beneath that sit four USB controller ports. These allow you to charge your wireless controllers; good...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

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...

Hercules - DJ Console MK2 - Mixer and Soundcard

Advantages: Lot of fun, yet a serious device at the same time.
Disadvantages: Jog/Scratch wheel not placed in the best position on the device.

...This is a great item for the amateur/semi pro DJ. Not just limited to mixing two MP3's, this unit also allows you to mix with a variety of sources such as turntables and CD players. This is because you can attach various external hardware to the device via the extra connections you have available, including optical and RCA. There are two sets of master outputs as standard, meaning you can output to two separate amplifiers as an example, or record with one output and then monitor your sound through the other. Acting as a standard soundcard as well as the MP3 mixer, you do not need an additional soundcard to use the DJ Console and it can act as the main soundcard for your computer. The device also has beat matching capabilities, this is automated so you are always in sync with your mixes(bpm) There is also the ability to use...

Review of Hercules DJ Console Mk2

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

Radio 2 -- Easy Listening With Style!

Advantages: Diverse shows that appeal across the spectrum
Disadvantages: The mix can be a little strange at times.

...I always find it surprising as to the diversity of Radio 2, the schedule on any given night could contain a short half hour program about Folk music and another night a program about Theatre organs can be heard, I have listened to both and realised there is more to life than listening to such stations as Happy FM (or Capital) that tend to play the same record over and over again every two hours. Besdes these stations appear to be aimed at someone about 15 years younger than myself anyway. Radio 2 on the other hand caters for people of my age and boy they certainly deliver, I always tend to be in the car coming home or going somewhere when Elaine Paige is broadcasting. Sometimes the journey can be from hell at worst and other times just damn right boring. So to experience the diversity that Radio 2 offer on a Sunday is a bonus...

Review of Sony PlayStation

Buy this if you have a Playstation 2!

Advantages: Great fun, single player, multiplayer, weapons, graphics, sound, characters, replay value
Disadvantages: Hard to find shops that sell it now!

...Ratchet and Clank 3 Ratchet and Clank 3 is a game made by the company Insomniac and the third game in the excellent Ratchet and Clank series and is on the Playstation 2. The game is a sort of mainly action/combat game with platforming elements. The villain in the game is Dr Nefarious who is trying to turn all living things into robots! So Ratchet (a weird alien thing) and Clank his robot friend try to stop him. The story is quite good and while it is a little stupid is easy to follow. For most of the game you control Ratchet who has many weapons and gadgets to help him. Some of the guns are from other Ratchet and Clank games and if you have a save file with some on the weapons from previous games you can even get these weapons free which is a nice touch! My favourite weapon turns enemies into sheep which is very funny...
