The Console Versus Pc Gaming Battle
Jessica Kosinski asked:
Author: Jessica Kosinski November 19, 2008 The Console Versus PC Gaming Battle In the world of gaming, some of us like to think that PC gamers rule the roost. Others, however, are die hard console gamers. Some walk the line and play both. So, o they have the staying power? Is one type destined to become obsolete? First of all, in the world of console gaming, there are three main categories, these days, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 or Wii gamers. Granted, some play two types and some play all three. Personally, I am a Nintendo fiend, though. In some ways, that competition actually works in the console gamers’ favor. Since there are three main console games, there are three very distinctive console game sets to choose from. Yet, those sets are ever changing. For example, I loved Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie on N64. Imagine my dismay when I discovered that the latest Banjo game is only out on Xbox 360! Suddenly, they aren’t Nintendo specific games anymore! So, now, if I want to play my favorite games, I have to buy a 360. Theoretically, once I do that, I will see other 360 games that I like and buy those. I’m probably not alone. That trend will probably cause a lot of you gamers out there to buy more than one system and, as a result, games for more than one system. So, any old school console gamers are probably going to stay console gamers and, by default, their kids will probably be console gamers, since the games will be in the house. I don’t see console games ever dying. So, are computer games destined to go by the wayside, instead? Well, I think not, just for sheer convenience. Most of us use our computers on a daily basis. If we have breaks from work or just happen to be online chatting with friends, why not play a game, especially a multiplayer online game? In fact, more and more MMORPG’s are popping up. World of Warcraft, Warhammer and the like are in no danger of dying off. Aside from that sort of convenience, there’s also the space convenience. If you play computer games, you don’t have to contend with console game systems, lots of game controllers and accessories and tons of game discs and cases everywhere. A lot of computer games don’t even require a disc to run. Then there’s convenience point three. If you’re already at your computer playing a game you have the world at your fingertips, as far as finding game information goes. You can easily look up game cheats, game walkthroughs, game trailers and more. Of course, if you are playing a console game, you can take time out and go over to your computer and look up the cheat codes, but it takes more time. Ultimately, there are no winners or losers in the battle between console and PC. I am looking forward to Diablo III coming out for PC, personally, but I’m also looking forward to the day that I can replace the Wii that my ex boyfriend kept, too! There’s no reason we should choose one over the other. All games are a blast!

The Ins and Outs of Game Cheats
Jessica Kosinski asked:
Author: Jessica Kosinski November 21, 2008 The Ins and Outs of Game Cheats There’s always been a debate over whether or not to use game cheats, ever since video games have existed. What exactly is a game cheat? Who uses them and why? Is it good or bad to use them? Well, first of all, game cheats are basically any sort of hidden thing to do in a game that you can look up and then do to either get to a secret area, find a secret item or maybe just become invincible so you can get past an area where you’re stuck. Game codes and game cheats are kind of similar, except game codes are usually a series of buttons to push on a console game controller in order to get extra ammo, extra lives or other extra bonuses. Game cheats, on the other hand, might be something like “Go to area X. Talk to person C before person B. Then, go back to person B and talk. Person B will now have a hidden mission for you.” Then there are game walkthroughs. Game walkthroughs are not the same as game cheats. Game walkthroughs are, however, step by step instructions on how to play a certain game. If you play a game by the walkthrough you’ll be sure not to miss anything, but you won’t ever be surprised. On the other hand, you might want a walkthrough only if you get stuck somewhere. So who uses all of these? Well, people who want to play by the book and not miss anything or people who just can’t get past that one certain spot in a game might use a walkthrough. Some people actually finish the game once on their own and then read a walkthrough to see what they missed and then replay the game, too. Game codes, meanwhile, are mostly used by console gamers who just want to fly through a game. Sometimes it’s just nice to do something to say you’ve done it. For instance, your game might have a code that turns your character’s clothing another color. It doesn’t advance the plot, but it can be cool. Game cheats, though, are a whole other story. There are lots of people that use them and they use them for many different reasons. Sometimes they use them right from the beginning to make sure they unlock all the secrets in a game. Sometimes they go back and replay the game using cheats later. Whatever the reason, there’s an endless debate on whether or not game cheats spoil the experience. Personally, I don’t usually approve of game cheats. There are certain situations where I use them, though. For instance, when I play the Sims, I often use a cheat to get more cash, because my Sim is often broke. I also enjoy building ultimate Sim houses, so I often use a cheat that lets me build outside my lot boundaries. Some game cheats really can spoil the story for you. So, just be aware before you use them. The bottom line is, though, if you like using them, go for it. If you don’t, don’t bother. It’s entirely up to you. They can be helpful or they can spoil the whole experience. It depends on how you feel about them and what you want to use them for.
