God of War

While some people were skeptical of God of War's graphics, the game itself is an excellent choice for gamers looking for a new adventure. It features addictive hackandslash gameplay and massive boss battles. The game is set in a 3D mammoth realm, where you play as Kratos the god of war. You must battle your way through all nine realms. A compass can be used to locate enemies away from the screen.

OnLive

OnLive is a service that promises to revolutionize the gaming industry. There are a few downsides to the OnLive service. First, it is very expensive. The subscription costs $15 per month. Additional cash will be required to purchase games. You will also need to pay for movies and other social networking tools. The service is still very convenient. So, what should you expect?

Zynga

Zynga's 2010 gaming business model has had a turbulent past. The company made money through their games but they were also criticised for their lead generation marketing schemes that allegedly enrolled users into unnecessary software and recurring payments. Mark Pincus from Zynga announced reforms to the offer-generation process in November 2009, which included banning Tatto Media. Softbank and Google also invested $300 millions in the company.




FAQ

Which console is the most powerful?

The Xbox 360 is currently the most powerful console available. It offers an incredible amount of power for its size. It's almost as powerful than the PS3. This console is also capable of playing games at 1080p resolution, which makes it unique. This allows you see clearly and provides stunning graphics.

This clarity is not offered by the PlayStation 3. Its 720p display may not be as sharp than the Xbox 360’s 1080p. Although the PS3 can play Blu-Ray, it doesn't have the same power as the Xbox 360.

Which console should I buy? Well, if you're looking for the best overall experience, then the Xbox 360 is definitely the way to go. The PS3 is the best choice if you are looking for the fastest gaming system. Either way, both systems deliver great gameplay experiences.


What is better a PC or console?

The simple answer is: You should go PC if your goal is to have an enjoyable gaming experience. Consoles are great for gamers who want to play on the go.

Consoles are the best choice if your goal is to play online. But if you just want to play single-player offline, then PCs are king.


Does either console come with a headset?

Each console does not include a headset. Both systems rely on wireless headsets instead. They come with a standard 3,5 mm jack.


Is it necessary to have a separate hard disk for the Xbox One.

You don’t need to have a separate hard-drive. Instead, the built-in hard disk is used as part of your system.


Is Xbox or PlayStation better?

It depends on what you want. If you want an entertainment system that gives you access to games from all over the world, then both are great choices. Xbox 360, however, might be the better choice if your goal is to just play video games.


Which console is better to play online multiplayer?

Both consoles are capable of accessing the internet via their excellent online capabilities. But the Xbox Live service is better than Sony's Playstation Network. Xbox Live lets players from all over the world play against you. You can also do this from anywhere at any time.

PlayStation Network prohibits you from playing online if you live outside a given area. This makes playing online much less convenient.
