Die-hard gamers and video gaming entrepreneurs have been braving the malls for the much-awaited Sony PS3. Some were successful in grabbing the latest from Sony in the gaming industry while others were not. Sony promised only a 400,000 PS3 units nationwide for its initial introduction into the U.S. market which is quite minimal compared to the number of gamers all over the U.S. It seems the demand for the PS3 are increasing and with the supply decreasing due to production problems as reports say, gamers across U.S. have been lining up and rushing in only to come out empty-handed and disappointed. In an attempt to grab the last few units, some gamers and customers are now even shopping for their Sony PS3s online which is definitely not a bad idea when you think about the long lines for block along brick and mortar video gaming stores.
However, this limited supply and increasing demand of the PS3 has already been predicted. The market’s interest and anticipation has been given enough time to build up with the Sony PS3 coming a half year later than expected.
Some of those waiting in line for the PS3 - that are selling like hotcakes across stores and shops across the U.S. - are actually not only buying these neat gaming console from Sony but are hoping to give them for Christmas gifts. Due to the limited stocks, some customers are also up for reselling their newly-purchased PS3 at a much higher price and gaining profit.
So what can people expect from the new Sony PS3?
Sony PS3 is excellent for gamers with high definition television sets. With Sony PS3’s 1080p, only the clearest resolution is available for the visually-discriminating gamer. An added bonus to the Sony PS3 is also the Blu-Ray Disc Drive that plays DVDs and CDs.
Some gamer reviews have given Sony PS3 a grade lower than what they have given Nintendo’s Wii though. For one, gamers miss the tremor and shaking effect when firing a virtual gun. However, the verdict on the video gaming console war is definitely far from over yet. Sony PS3 has just been released and the video gaming market can definitely wait a year more from the Sony PS3’s launching for more games and innovation. Gamers and Sony loyalists can definitely expect more to come for the Sony PS3.

Ok, now that you know your options, you can stop reading and start downloading games for your PSP. Downloading and playing games on your PSP is very easy even for the technically challenged. You can pass time by downloading Java games, polyphonic ringtones, etc.

Download Free Games For PSP Option 5Alright your final option for downloading free games for PSP.
Today is the day to start downloading games to your PSP. I must emphasize that although I am focusing mainly on music/songs here, I would also urge you to consider a downloading site that offers not only music but movies and even games. However, they are very much interested in subscription offers for the downloading of mobile phone games.
Most casino games are offered by casinos with bonuses and sometimes free cash just for downloading the software and becoming a registered player. However, please take care to note that although downloading and installing an emulator isn't (technically) illegal, downloading certain "free" console games so that you can use them on your PSP emulator may be. This model would cost around $600 and should be able play Blu-Ray discs along with downloading and playing games.
Silicon Seeds (an online mobile games site) also claim that Spain is the second biggest market in Europe for downloading mobile games. However, with women getting adept at downloading games with each passing day, it can be safely said that the market for mobile games for women, although small, is growing. Finally, by downloading free mahjong games on the Internet, you just get something to pass the time.
Once you have registered, that's it, time for you to start downloading as many free PSP games as you like. They seem to provide the better sites and information about downloading games.

The New Face of Games - free online games by Amelie Mag
If you talk to the owner of a game arcade these days, he will tell you that the business is not as lucrative as it used to be. We all have in mind this glamorous image of the game arcade, with a beautiful display of flash games coming in different colors and shapes, one more appealing than the next. But things aren’t what they used to be because it is now easier and cheaper to play free games online.
You can imagine the excitement of the children who used to gather the money they needed to go play a game at the arcade. You can even imagine a young couple going out on a date in a parlor where they could have fun just trying out all the flash games. The flash games do have something magical about them. They drag you out of the daily life giving the impression that you are in a huge Hollywood show or in a casino in Las Vegas. The flash games are meant to attract you towards them, to make you try them out, one by one, or at least to take a look at the others playing them. They have something of the magic of the roulette.
However, the game parlors are no longer what they used to be because they are no longer “the only game in town”, so to speak. Nowadays we have the Internet which can provide anything. Playing games online means you can play all the games that you used to be able to find only in the parlors and some other new ones as well. If you have a computer with internet at home, you do not even have to get out of the house. You can find all the games online.
In fact, it is not just the fact that people do not have to go out of the house to play the games anymore. Playing games online is so appealing that it keeps people indoors. Apart from the children or teenagers who do not have a computer at home and are obliged to go to an Internet cafe to play games online, most people find it more appealing to stay at home and play the games online. Imagine yourself getting out of bed, preparing a breakfast and being able to enjoy the morning by starting to play the games online, without even having to get out of your pyjamas. Some people end up spending entire days and nights in front of the computer playing games online.
On the other hand, there are a lot of young people and children who go to the Internet cafes and spend entire days fascinated by the games online. They can do this because their parents are happy to get them out of the house and have a little peace and quiet. They get to spend their energy somewhere far from the ears of the tired family. So, leaving your children to play games online acts as some sort of modern baby sitter. The only question that remains to be asked (as a parent) is what that baby sitter will teach your child.
The great advantage for those who have the Internet at home (and I bet there are many) is that the games are now free games. As compared to the expenses at the game parlor, nowadays the Internet gives you free games of all kinds. All you have to do is pay for the Internet connection (and this is getting cheaper and cheaper by the day as more and more people get connected).
Free games can be found in many places on the Internet and all kinds of free games can be downloaded. For the parents who allow their children to spend time unsupervised in front of the computer thinking that they are just playing games it would be better to pay more attention which free games exactly are their children accessing.
Many of the free games contain violence and this is perhaps the most dangerous thing about the free games online. We call them free games because we do not have to pay money for them, but in fact these games come with a package. The free games can be paid for with the loss of the power of concentration of the children, in the best case. If the children spend too much time in front of the computer playing these amazing free games, they may literally end up being brainwashed, in the sense that the extended exposure to the kind of video and audio stimuli offered by the free games can lead to serious memory loss.
However, there are also positive aspects as well. Children can learn what a competition means. They can learn how to lose or win, how everything they want has to be earned through work, patience and perseverance. The physical aspect involves a development of reflexes and, sometimes, even focusing can improve. It is up to the parents and to the children to decide which of the many games online should be played.
We grew up with arcade games and our children will grow up with free games online. It si nothing weird about that. It should make us happy that they have opportunities we never had. They can learn from their experiences playing games online and it up to us to guide them to the best and healthiest offers.
The taste of the virtual competitions is never forgotten and this is because they feel so good. If something feels so good and doesn’t harm anyone why not take advantage of it? Playing games online is one of those small pleasures in life, but playing free games is one of the biggest pleasures a child can have.

Satellite Internet and Online Gaming: Does It Work?
Online gaming is one of the fastest growing trends in the world right now. With games such as Runescape boasting subscriber numbers of around a million and World of Warcraft exceeding 7 million active members, the total number of MMOG subscriptions is verging on the absurd, quickly approaching the 14 million mark worldwide[6/06, mmogchart.com]. This tremendous growth in the popularity of the online gaming industry has, in part, been fueled by the accessibility of high-speed broadband internet. A high-speed connection allows for a much more enjoyable game-play experience. Everyone knows that online games work exceptionally well on DSL and Cable internet connections, but what about the newer high-speed service satellite internet? As satellite internet is becoming more readily available and cost effective more and more rural dial-up customers are making the switch to cash in on the faster speeds and always on access. But, when it comes to online gaming many are concerned that their game-play experience will be less satisfactory, if they can even connect to play at all.
The reason for this concern is the issue of latency. Latency is an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another. This is direly important when it come to on-line gaming in that latency translates into the time that it takes from the moment that a button is pushed to when the action is performed in the game. Often this can mean the difference between life and death. With DSL and Cable the response time is almost immediate, being between 50milliseconds-150milliseconds. The latency for satellite internet is between 600milliseconds-800milliseconds. This may sound like the end of online gaming for someone who has just made the switch to satellite internet but it is not. Although this degree of latency does all but rule out first-person shooters there are a good number of MMOGs that operate well over a satellite internet connection. And, although the effects of latency can never be completely eliminated, there are ways in which to improve upon them. The simplest way to do this is by speeding up the way that one’s computer handles and responds to information being transferred through the connection and by increasing the total amount of available bandwidth. Some operating systems have built in reserves on bandwidth that are non-essential to the functionality of most web applications, see link for a tweak http://www.wildblue.cc/wbforums/showthread.php?t=3323 .
By eliminating non-essential services i.e. bandwidth hogs that the average user never utilizes and dedicating more physical resources to the most used application can help tremendously. Minimizing the effects of latency down to the bare minimum allowed by the laws of physics enables one to play more online gaming that was before not workable and also speeds up the responses of other games that already do work. So, although there are limitations to on-line gaming over satellite internet there are also ways to improve upon game-play responsiveness and many games that will play well without operating system tweaks. Below is a list of online games for both console and PC that, according to subscribers that have tested and played them, do and do not work over satellite internet. This is not a definitive list of games guaranteed to work, so be cautious as results may vary.

Online Computer Games
Online computer games take advantage of the Internet to offer an exquisite gaming experience. Online computer games are of four types. You can play some online computer games with a browser window. For that you need to log on to a specific web site. Some online computer games are text-based. You can play those games in a web-based forum. If the games are loaded with lots of graphics, you will require stand-alone software packages. Players challenge each other over the Internet. Some online computer games can be played with e-mail. E-mail computer games were the first stage of the online computer games revolution. MUDs, or Multi-User Dungeons, were extremely popular during the age of e-mail computer games.
Let’s now discuss what you need to play those games. If you want to play computer games online, you need to have a high-quality Internet connection.

The best thing about online computer games is that these games have successfully overcome the geographical barrier among the players. Players from far-off physical locations now can take part in online computer games. That’s the secret of their popularity.
Lineage, Counter-Strike, EverQuest, Quake and Half-Life are some popular online computer game titles. Internet users have especially found the online computer games quite interesting.

Be sure to check out my resource link at the end of the article for the ultimate gaming site to download games online.
Here are 3 sites I have checked out. One thing to note is that most games can be downloaded but they are not in full version or there is a time limit tagged to it. In other words, to get the full version game downloads, you do have to subscribe. Then again, there are hundreds to thousands of games and you can simply move from playing one to another. And if you really love the game so much, consider joining them. It doesn’t cost you more than $20 for monthly subscriptions.
Shockwave.com is not new to gamers seeking the thrills of online games. According to the site, there are more than 60,000 players online at the point I visited. This is not an easy feat to achieve. In fact, more than 20 million people visit the site every month to download games online there or simply just play them online. This site offers 400 over games from sports, action, adventure, puzzles, shooting, jigsaws and word games. These top hits are also top sellers.
Shockwave has a premium service called Shockwave Unlimited which allows subscribers to download over 300 games online. There is also a 10 day free trial. This offers basically full version game downloads with absolutely no time limit.
Next, we have Miniclip.com. This game site allows you to download games online like sports, multiplayer, action, puzzles, flash games and so on. What is impressive about this site is that the games are updated quite frequently so you can never get bored here. Some game titles like 3 Foot Ninja, 3 Foot Ninja II, Alien Attack, Bush Aerobics, Disc Golf, Sub Commander, Hostile Skies and Family Feud are popular games here.
The third site where you can download games online is GameHouse.com. You get games like Little Shop of Treasures 2, Mortimer Beckett and the Secrets of Spooky Manor, SCRABBLE, MONOPOLY HERE & NOW EDITION, Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos and many more. The paid option which costs $19.95 a month allows you to download all FunPass games, total of 300 over. There is no time limit and these are all full version game downloads. And yes, there is a free trial for 7 days.
These are just the more popular game download sites you can find online. Of course, as I mentioned earlier, there is one more gaming site I do not wish to miss mentioning. Check out my games blog if you are keen to download games online for less than pennies.

A Healthy Lifestyle For The Kids With The Dance Dance Revolution by Sean Tan
One of the growing concerns in today's times is that kids are losing out on health in several ways. Their lifestyle has become much too much glued to the television and the computer screen. When will they get their much-needed exercise? DDR Dance Revolution makes much of that possible.
What do kids like? Playing arcade games? Now, dance revolution game brings that very concept into exercising. That is the cause why kids like to exercise. Significant that, when kids are exercising, they do not really think they are exercising. For them, it is a game, coupled with some dance moves. Therefore, dance revolution is good at keeping kids exercise about a bit.
In the dance revolution, also known as the DDR game, there is a dance pad on the floor instead of the usual joystick or the keypad. Instead of controlling the game with the fingers, the kids control the game with their legs. That means, they play and they get exercised. For kids, this might be possibly the best encouragement to get some well-needed exercise done.
In order to provide more incentives to kids than it already is providing, the DDR game is trying great more kid-friendly things. The game has a scoring system, which enables kids with the contentious spirit to participate in full measure. Kids can choose their own music tracks for the game, which could be their love song. The game will play in tune with the song, and the kids have to control the game in that manner. Therefore, kids can select as fast or as slow a song as they want. Some kids like to pick up the speediest numbers just to satisfy themselves that they can do it.
You will find a DDR online game in every arcade nowadays. That gives kids a better chance to show off their DDR prowess to others. It becomes quite inexpensive too, because the common arcade game prices are applicable to the DDR games. Also, now Konami has come up with versions of the arcade Dance Game Revolution that are compatible with the latest gaming consoles, including the PlayStations and the Xboxes. That ensures greatest graphics, greatest music and healthy exercise.
Parents know fully well how difficult it is to drag their kids out from the television or the computer to get some much-needed exercise. Harry Potter brought children back to reading; now the PC Dance Revolution is bringing children back to exercise. It's a joyful world for parents all over the world right now!
Sean loves to exercise himself and his five-year old kid on the Dance Dance Revolution. Check out his reviews on the following site:

Ten Must Own Games For Playstation 2
Ten Must Own Games for Playstation 2
Copyright © 2007 JJ Hendricks
Hundreds of games were released for Playstation 2 during the console's lifetime. There are so many, that it can be hard to choose which you want to buy for your collection. Below is a list of the ten must own games for the PS2 and why they should be in your collection.
10. Final Fantasy X - The first Final Fantasy game on Playstation 2 successfully evolves the best selling RPG franchise. FFX has a very deep battle system with even more complex stat upgrades. Your characters can literally take on hundreds of combinations of skills and abilities.
9. Guitar Hero - Live your rock and roll dreams in Guitar Hero. Use a real guitar controller to play all your favorite rock ballads and guitar solos. Hours of songs to play, multiple difficulty levels for even master players, and a song list with tons of classics. This game is great for casual players because it is so easy to pick up, but will keep you coming back with the steady increase in difficulty.
8. Katamari Damacy - A very strange premise, but very fun game. Roll a ball around a level. Smaller objects get stuck to the ball making it bigger, then you can roll over bigger objects. You have to grow your ball to a certain size to clear every level. Tons of replayability, random and funny cut-scenes, and solid game play make this a very unique but great game for the Playstation 2.
7. Ico - The game didn't sell very well, but has great story, good puzzle design, and environments that make you forget you are playing a game sometimes. You play as a boy who is destined to be sacrificed to appease the Gods. He must make his way through the world and solve puzzles or face his grim fate.
6. Kingdom Hearts - Square Enix combines the Final Fantasy and Disney characters into one role playing adventure. You play as Sora but fight along side Donald and Goofy and meet Ariel, Aladdin, and other great Disney characters along the way. Kingdom Hearts is great for RPG fans and fun for Disney fans too. You will love all the cameos from the Disney movies and cartoons.
5. Metal Gear Solid 2 - The sequel to Metal Gear Solid for the original Playstation. Play as Solid Snake as tries to stop a resistance group from gaining control of a high-tech weapon. Unlike other action games, you have to use stealth and planning to get through the game. You can just kill everything. In-depth story and great cinematics help solidify its place in the top ten.
4. Grand Theft Auto III - The smash hit that went on to create it's own genre. In GTA 3, you can do almost anything you want. Want to follow the story, go ahead. Just want to steal cars and get into police chases, you can do that too. It led to multiple sequels and countless copycat games and helped spark the massive success of the Playstation 2 during its first year.
3. Resident Evil 4 - Originally released as a Gamecube game, Resident Evil 4 for Playstation 2 has all the same features plus more levels. Its an action packed, heart pounding horror game as Leon tries to save the President's daughter. With a 95% review score from gamerankings.com it is the best reviewed PS2 game of all time.
2. Gran Turismo 3 - Hands down the best racing simulator. Gran Turismo 3 is a realistic racing game with real cars, real tracks, and real life attributes for all of them. Racing a VW Bug will feel different than racing a Corvette. Different accelleration, speed, and handling for each car and track. And I didn't even mention the impressive graphics yet. If you love cars, this is the best racing game you can get.
1. God of War - Great graphics, epic story, nearly perfect controls. This is the best game on Playstation 2 and one of the better games released the past generation. Play as Kratos as he makes his way through ancient Greece fighting mythological creatures and using his fallen foes powers to vanquish future enemies. A best seller, highly reviewed, and all around great game.
If any of these games aren't in your Playstation 2 collection you should buy them. All ten games of these games are great gaming experiences that every gamer should experience.
