Video Game Info

      I just recently purchased a 40″ Samsung LCD 1080p so I could enjoy my ps3 to the max.  I knew that I would see a difference but I was not expecting that big of a difference.  When I connected my Sony ps3 to my new television I was blown away.  Everything was so much more clear and the 1080p was awesome and you really do need a television that can support everything the ps3 has to offer.

Now I have seen the light I wanted to follow to see where it leads.  I was using the regular old standard Sony  ps3 component video cables when I saw, “The Big Difference.” I decided to go and purchase a premium High Definition cable and see what it was all about and all i could say is, “BAM.”  The graphics were outstanding the sound quality was on demand and you could almost feel the sweat pouring off of Roy Jones Jr.  as my cousin sucker punched me.  The hype is true the graphics are real get the high definition cable and your ps3 will come alive like never before.

What makes this ps3 such a multi-media powerhouse?  The Graphical User inter-phase that the ps3 uses is called an XrossMediaBar which is pronounced Cross Media Bar, or abbreviated XMB.  This media bar includes nine different categories which are: Users, settings, Photo, Music, Video,Game, Network, PlayStation Network, and Friends. The ps3 has the ability to store master and secondary user profiles just like your computer.  USB ports on the front of the ps3 make it compatible with USB supported keyboards,mouse, and mass storage or flash drives. It has a NetFront web browser that supports compatible file downloading.  You can perform video chat across the web through the friends menu which allows mail and emoticon and attached picture features. (PlayStation Eye or Eye toy web cam is required) You can even shop online through the PlayStation store via Network menu.

The PlayStation 3 is a multimedia powerhouse and if you are like me you want to utilize everything that your system has to offer. When you hear of all the good things the ps3 has to offer it starts to sound like ps3 music. Speaking of music ps3 offers a variety of ways you can enjoy your favorite tunes.  You can explore your favorite photos with or without a musical slide show and you can just slide in your favorite audio Cd, DVD, Blu-ray disc, Super Audio Cd or an optional USB mass storage device to enjoy your music.  Play and copy your audio CD tracks to an optional attached storage device, play video files and movies straight from the hard disk drive or any of the optional attached storage mediums.  The PlayStation 3 might not be too cost friendly to consumers as of right now. It is however, worth every cent that you spend on it.

The PlayStation 3 boasts a wide variety of third party and exclusive fighting game titles, and is the premier console on the market.  Not only does the PS3 have a huge amount of unique PS3 titles, but the expansive fighting game libraries from the PS1 and PS2 are also compatible with the PS3.  This makes the selection of titles for the PS3 system twice or three times as large as its competitors.  In addition, the PS3s controller features a classic grip, design, and button placement ideal for fighting games.

Several recent PS3 fighting games are some of the highest rated on the market, with series like Soul Calibur and Marvel vs. Capcom.  In addition, soon to be released fighting titles like Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe promise to have amazing innovations in graphics and game play; further evidence of the PS3’s dominance as the fighting game console of choice.

When the original Metal Gear title was developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System, it was met with moderate success and then the series abandoned in the United States for several years.  Then, Konami returned to Metal Gear on the PS1 with Metal Gear Solid, a surprise hit that was hailed as one of the greatest action games of all time.  Since Metal Gear Solid, the character of Solid Snake and the series has continued on through the PS2 and PS3 with new villains and new environments, challenges, and weapons. 

The most recent installment of the Metal Gear Solid series, Guns of the Patriots, follows the final chapter of Solid Snake as he fights against Liquid Ocelot, a twisted reincarnation of Revolver Ocelot, the classic villain from the Metal Gear Solid series.  Amongst PS3 action games, Metal Gear Solid is the undisputed king.
