Brain Training Game Xbox

Should I buy a Nintendo DS?

I don't play much with my PS2, so I'm not really sure about PSP - and to be honest I don't find 3d games too fascinating - I don't even like XBOX 360.

But the problem with PSP is that I think a new one is on the way, so I don't want to buy a PSP and then tomorrow find a PSP 2 on the market.

So...basically I want to make sure that buying a Nintendo DS is the right choice for me - those of you who have a Nintendo DS, are you happy with it?

And also they have released a couple of games for brain training, are they hard and challenging?

Thank you in advance

There will be a new DS in Japan in the next couple of months, in the rest of the world in 2009. It will have a built-in camera and play music too.

I love mine, I have played Brain Age and have BA 2 and Brain Voyage (haven't played the latter 2). They are somewhat challenging but after you've accessed all the new challenges, it just becomes a matter of beating your current best time on each activity (arithmetic, counting syllables, etc.). Still, it's fun to have 2 or more people competing against each other. There are other little challenges it throws at you every few days, those are kind of fun.

I don't think you can go wrong with a DS. It has every kind of game you might want, from shooters like Call of Duty to freaky games like Resident Evil, puzzles galore, adventure games, stuff for kids and older folks, you name it. Even if they come out with a new one in 2009 you will have enjoyed the current model for months and months, you can sell it and get the new one if you want to.

Video Game Systems Reveiw

Nintendo Wii

This, at present, is the best family-friendly games video game system on the market. A lot of users agree that the new Wii is addictive, intuitive and fun. They chose not to compete with Xbox 360 or PS3 , graphics wise and concentated on the Wii remote control, a fantastic motion-sensitive controller that can get the whole family (even the couch potatoes) out of their chairs, waving the controller around in the air and jumping up and down like a demented Banshee! Hard-core gamers will be disappointed in the Wii but this Video Game System is aimed at, and great for, families and groups of friends and is very reasonably priced!

Microsoft Xbox 360

Arguably the best high-end of the systems that you can buy.The PlayStation 3 is far more advanced, technology wise, to the Xbox 360 but experts say that it will take quite a while for game developers to really hone the technology of the PS3 Systems. The graphics quality for PS3 and Xbox 360are equally as good but the Xbox was released 12-months earlier than the PS3 and that means that there is a lot more choice of games for the Xbox.The Xbox video game systems also have better online gaming for an annual fee. For those who aren't into online gaming, a basic Xbox 360 has been released.

Sony PlayStation 3

Reviewers report that in the end, the Sony PlayStation 3 will take the mantle of the best of the Video Game Systems. But, at this moment in time, it would be hard to choose it over the Xbox 360. Mainly because it will take quite a while for the game developers to harness the power of the PS3's processor.The PS3 also has the facility to play Blu-ray DVD's which are excellent quality.So if you are thinking of buying a Blu-ray DVD player it is worth considering the PS3 because, at the moment, it is half the price of a stand-alone Blu-ray DVD player.

Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

This, in my experience, is the best of the handheld systems.It has a higher price than the other handheld systems, but the few extra dollars really are worth it.The PSP's large,hi-res screen and easy-to-use controls makes gaming a pleasurable experience. Around 220 games are available on UMD format along with the latest movies on the same format (although I hear they may be phasing out the UMD movies).The PSP uses the Magic Gate memory sticks, on which you can store and play MP4 movies,T.V. shows, video's etc and MP3's, you can also surf the internet using the integrated wireless technology!

Nintendo DS

This is the lower priced of the handheld Video Game Systems.The DS does not have all the bells and whistles of the PSP but what it does have is a pair of 3-inch screens.One of the two screens is a touchscreen which Nintendo have built their games around. The DS is a great reasonably priced Video Game System and has some cool games for kids and grown ups alike (I particularly like the Brain Training series of games). There are nearly 300 games for the Nintendo DS, and it can also play the old Game Boy Advance games.
