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

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...

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...

Kiddy Console or PlayStation2 beater

Advantages: Small, cheap, powerful
Disadvantages: Limited selection of games

.... The controllers have 8 buttons (3 shoulder, 1 start and 4 thumb buttons) and 2 analogue sticks and a d-pad. They are the most comfortable controllers I've ever used, due to the way they fit in your hands. The 'Cube takes Mini-DVD's - ehich is Nintendos way of trying to prevent videogame piracy. These discs are tiny, yet fit an amazing 1.5 GB of data on. Upon starting the console you get a lovely GameCube logo, which prompts you to set the date and time the first time you play it. On the top are a power button, reset button and open button, with a lovely orange power light. I won't review the games here, but graphically the GameCube's graphics are noticeably better than PlayStation 2, and far smoother but not as detailed as my PC. So advantage wise - it's very small, with a carry handle, has 4 controller ports, is cheap (£129 for basic...

Review of Nintendo Gamecube

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....

Review of Sony 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)

Don't play games - read this!

Advantages: Well written, absorbing, good characters
Disadvantages: None

...move she ever made? I first came across Veronica Henry when my mum told me to read "Love on the Rocks" by her, and I absolutely adored that book - it was well written and such an enjoyable read. I have Veronica's "Honeycote" series on my shelf to read, and I can't wait to get around to reading them. I was so excited to get a copy of Veronica's latest book, the stand-alone story "Marriage and Other Games", which is Veronica's 7th book. I was expecting an absorbing and brilliant read, and that is certainly what I got from the book! I passed the novel onto my mum as well, and she enjoyed just as much as I did, proving Veronica's novels appeal across the generations! The story, although primarily and initially following the life of Charlotte, does branch out into several characters and I really liked this. There was always something new...
