Playstation 3 – The Complete Entertainer

We, as adults have to face the fact that our kids seem more comfortable with a Playstation 3 gaming console than they seem outdoors playing baseball, like we used to in our day and age. Exercise just isn’t a top priority for kids anymore, unless of course, you are lucky enough to have a child who is naturally athletic. Nowadays its gaming consoles all the way.

Why the Craze?

And Playstation 3 is probably the most popular gaming console around! Why it is so popular is because it has a really great format – it supports what is known as Blu ray. This is, I have learnt, an advanced disc drive which fits right into your Playstation and is compatible with it. It is a phenomenon in the gaming world because a Blue Ray drive is able to play data about five times faster than your average DVD drive!

So we all know what that means – game developers can develop far more sophisticated games which are more realistic and complete with a great degree of detail. What is more, the Play Station 3 was the pioneer gaming console with a Blue ray drive. Another great thing about this disk drive is that it is extremely versatile – that is, it can read almost any form of media.

So if you’re thinking all the games you purchased for your other gaming consoles are redundant once you have a Playstation 3, then think again! In fact, you can even use your Playstation 3 to watch movies or even listen to music because of the amazing features that the Blu ray drive offers! It’s an all in one entertainment system if you ask me!

Money Matters

Playstation 3, because of its amazing features is not a gaming console which comes for cheap. In fact, it is pretty expensive and most middle class parents would think twice before buying it for their kids. But there are two versions of this incredible gaming console so you can take your pick. There is the basic configuration which comes for about five hundred dollars and the other one is the premium configuration which comes for about six hundred dollars.

So you can still get a Playstation 3 for about five hundred dollars. There is not too much of a difference between the two. The premium has all the features of the basic model, as well as a built in Wifi- capability, a larger, upgradeable hard drive of 60GB and flash card readers. Read more

Black Ops Zombies Tips

When it comes to Call of Duty: Black Ops, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the “zombies” are the funnest part of the game, for me anyway. When I first started playing, I usually couldn’t make it beyond level 3 or 4 without dying. This is because I hadn’t used a few simple tricks to getting the power on and reaching the gas zombies.

USE YOUR KNIFE

This is the most common mistake that I made when I first started playing. Use the knife for the first three levels or more depending on your gaming ability. Here is a trick to knowing how many times you’re going to have to stab the zombies to get them to die: 1 stab for each level. If you’re on level two, it’s going to take you two stabs to kill them; if you’re on level three, it’s going to take three stabs; however, this is all until you get “insta-kill”, then even if you are on level 8, you should start cutting zombies, because it will only take one stab during the time period you have “insta-kill”. Insta-kill looks like a little skull and you will hear a zombie whisper it once you’ve obtained it. It usually comes from killing a lot of zombies at once. You have especially hit the jackpot if you get both “insta-kill” and “double points”, which looks like an “X2″ at the bottom of your screen. Knife stabs should generate about 130 points per kill. Remember to back up after each stab, since the zombies will most likely swing at you if you don’t kill them the first stab.

WEAPON CHOICE

Weapon choice is absolutely the most important thing for killing the zombies late into the game. You don’t want to get your weapon too soon, I’d initially wait for level 4 to start using weapons for the reasons mentioned above. The weapon of choice should be the shotgun. It only uses two shells at a time, but one shot kills the zombies instantly, 99.9% of the time anyway. Wait until level 4 to buy the shotgun, or any other weapon for that matter.

PLAY SINGLE PLAYER

Double player makes it a lot harder on you. The screen is smaller, so you cannot view with good detail, you cannot buy a “revive” and two player revive just isn’t the same since there can’t be any zombies around whenever the 2nd player revives you anyway, or else the 2nd player will most likely get struck from behind.

BEWARE OF THE 6

If you’ve ever looked behind you on the wall to where you first start out in the lobby you will see “beware of the six” written in white paint. This is simply warning you from the level 5 “demon dogs” that are on fire and charge you at lightning speeds. The approach to beat them is actually more simple than than the zombies. Get back into a corner “usually where the revive machine is” and shoot in front of the dogs as they’re charging towards you, this will give it enough time so that you hit the dog, because if you aim it at the dog, by the time you pull the trigger he’s going to be in front of you. You usually won’t see the dogs right at level 5 if you’ve already died and been revived once before level 5, so try to stay active for the first 5 levels. Read more
