Come On Back

When the Nintendo Wii video game console hit the market in late 2006, it revolutionized gaming. It didn't try to compete head to head with the other top video game consoles. Instead, the Wii focused on ease of use and the fun side of gaming. Apparently a lot of people like this new type of gaming since it has outsold both the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.

So what's the appeal?

Well, first off it's priced affordably as compared to the other two top gaming consoles. New games are also priced reasonably.

Secondly and maybe more importantly, it doesn't intimidate the casual gamer. It doesn't matter whether you are an experienced gamer or someone who has never played a video game. Within a very short period of time anyone can be playing and having a great time with this system.

The Nintendo Wii uses a motion-sensing controller to play Wii games. And since these motions imitate motion in real life, it is easy to get involved. Whether it's swinging a tennis racket in "Wii Sports", steering trucks in "Excite Trucks" or slashing with a sword in "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess", there is something to appeal to almost anyone.

With the Wii, you can play the full line-up of your favorite Nintendo games from the past. It is backward compatible with GameCube and also features Nintendo's Virtual Console. With Virtual Console you can download games from older generation systems at a reasonable price.
Perhaps the only negative to the Nintendo Wii has to be its lack of high-definition graphics and the surround-sound richness found in other major systems.

The Nintendo Wii video game console is here to stay, judging by its ever-increasing popularity. Who could have predicted that a system so radically different would have made such an impact?

Too Human could very well be the poster child for the negative effects of over-hyping a video game. Too often we gamers and the people who supply us with information become so obsessed with the possibilities a game represents that we lose sight of reality. An exciting and eagerly awaited game is built up to impossibly high standards that only a few games in a hundred manage to meet. We want so badly for a game to be everything we hoped that we lose sight of what it is, which in this case is a very decent title with its share of issues; nothing more, nothing less.

The unusually long game development time for Too Human has created its share of difficulties concerning both the over-hyping of the title as well as the core of the game itself. Originally scheduled for release on the original Playstation, the title found its way to the GameCube following a partnership between Silicon Knights and Nintendo, and finally ended its long journey on Microsoft's Xbox 360. The time allotted to the development of an average game is typically more than enough to allow for the over-hyping of said game, but in this case I believe the incredibly long development time as well as the multiple platform changes for the title attributed to this game's hyper-hyping. The game simply sat too long in the imaginations of gamers worldwide.

I personally cannot blame those who wanted this title to be great; the game has some really interesting concepts. The dual-analog melee combat has incredible potential for those willing to take time to learn its particulars. Once well-equipped and versed in the particulars of the game's combat system, a player can truly begin to feel godly while facing his foes. Though at first unsure of the depth of combat I found in the game's opening, this gamer was soon sliding gracefully from enemy to enemy swords-a-blur. Few things about this title are as satisfying as wading confidently into a group of twenty enemies and emerging practically untouched with some cool new items to check out.

The game offers some reasonably fun character progression featuring a wealth of class and spec combinations which lead to many different play styles. The loot drops are frequent and satisfying, and despite the fact that you will pick up some items that you cannot use on your character, they can always be traded to a friend for something you want in the game's online co-op multiplayer. Furthermore, you are given the option of breaking down items that you do not need anywhere in the game into hard currency which you will then use to buy or craft new items. The gear is really quite satisfying to collect and craft, and this is one of the game's strong points.

The game is, of course, not without its problems. As earlier stated, the game was originally planned for development on the Playstation, and in some ways it shows. The character models are somewhat blocky-looking (especially the faces), and some of the game's environments are somewhat bland. The story attempts an interesting mixture of futuristic technology (including cybernetics), and Norse mythology. While this may sound cool to some, the theme seems somewhat forced. While the story itself is thankfully fairly simple, some of the ideas and statements made me cringe, such as AI-controlled human allies saying things like "where in the Helheim are we?" The game is also sadly somewhat short, but despite playing through the main story twice in my four days with the game, I was eager to play again.

There are a few other small compliments and gripes which could be bestowed upon this title, but I think we all get the picture: What we have here is a fun game that is more than adequate entertainment. It has issues, yes, but what game doesn't? My recommendation is to give this game a fair shake. Even the most remote areas of the country have access to game rentals these days, so you need not invest a full $60 just to find out if the game suits you. Who knows? You may really enjoy it.

My score: 7.5/10

If you have the dreaded red lights flashing on your Xbox 360 then unfortunately it looks that you will have to find some way to repair the system. Nearly all of the red light problems are caused by the Xbox 360's motherboard taking too much heat and what happens is the main chips called the GPU and the CPU basically burn out. On top of this the soldering that connects the two chips snaps off due to the heat and that is normally why you get the red light problem.

So Is There Any Permanent Way To Repair Your Xbox 360?

Well the most obvious way is to ring up Microsoft customer support and tell them the problem. They will then ask you a bunch of questions and tell you that your Xbox has a general hardware error, then they will ship you a box to put your Xbox in and someone from you UPS will come round and pick it up for you and you will have to wait up to six weeks to get a replacement.

Of course this is the best way if you don't mind waiting and if you have the three red light error. If you have any other problem with your Xbox 360 then you will have to pay $140 to get it repaired which is fairly steep seeing as you have already invested in a console that should not go wrong.
