Games Inbox: Puzzle game rage, Grand Theft Auto: Asia, and waiting for the 3DS
I've never been inspired to do violence to my fellow man after a heavy gaming session, but perhaps it can have a more subtle influence. Whilst replaying Saints Row 2 recently, there was a mission where I had to escape from the police station in a helicopter while being pursued by other helicopters who can fire heat-seeking missiles. I mean, really.I kept getting shot out of the sky and sent back to an inconvenient checkpoint. It really ticked me off it did. So maybe long periods of gaming can make you a bit more irritable? On a different subject I’ve been thinking about asking for a Blu-ray player for my birthday. Looking into what’s available and the prices of a decent one I realised it would only cost about £50 more for a PlayStation 3. The list of exclusives seems to make it worth owning both a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 but is it any good as a Blu-ray player? Hi guys, am amazed at the rubbish quality and quantity of games you get 'free' with PlayStation Plus this month. As nearly everyone's subscription will be running out soon you would have thought that Sony would have laid out a great selection of games to entice people to carry on with their subscription. But no, all you get is a game from 2008, and another from the Mega Drive era! And the usual mix of useless themes, and minis.The only bright light is the PSone classic Rayman, good game but still old. RE: The Bish. The reason I don't yet have a 3DS (even though I really, really want one) is multi-faceted. The price at launch was just too much and a lack of quality titles made me wait. Now with the price drop I'm tempted but still a lack of quality titles means there's little point yet. I plan to pick one up when the console is well established, the games can be purchased cheaper and there are games worth getting. I had a DS at launch but it wasn't until 18 - 24 months into its life that it really began to dominate my gaming time. If I had adopted the buy later strategy with that I would of saved a few hundred pounds, the early games I bought were all available cheaper, the console was cheaper (though I did eventually get a DS Lite) and there was enough quality titles that I could bide my time getting them while I played through the cheaper back catalogue.
Ds Lite Will Not Turn On - News
Nintendo is dropping the price of its latest handheld videogame system, the 3DS, to $169.99, as the device has failed so far to match the sales power of its predecessors -- the DS, DS Lite and DSi. The drop from the 3DS launch price of $249.99 will go
In some ways, the machine is held back by its backwards compatibility: the necessity of two screens resulted in a console that, to the casual eye, is indiscernible from a DS Lite. Of course, had Nintendo's new machine not worked with any of the 840m+
It's unfortunate that Nintendo has made such a mess of the launch, ie failing to demonstrate to the mass market that it was a whole new console instead of an upgraded DS. If they can sort that out (still not sure about the new ads) I think the 3DS will
Nintendo 3DS & Nintendo DS Lite: I'll admit it: I'm currently hooked on playing Nintendogs + Cats on my Nintendo 3DS so I couldn't leave my virtual dog behind, but the 3DS' poor battery life means my DS Lite will be a more reliable source of

People will no doubt find the Nintendo DS Lite to be a way for Nintendo to sucker people out of their money. It can be that way, if you think of yourself as a sucker, but for me the DS lite is a little better. Simply put, if you’re content with your original DS, then don’t even waste time to buy this one. If you don’t have a DS period, the DS Lite is a much better investment than the original bulky one.
With the DS Lite, gameplay is made a little simplar. The button placement and brighter screen make the gameplay a little better. For one, the start and select buttons have been moved to resemble where they were on the original Gameboy Advance. This makes handling some of the functions (especially for GBA games) a lot easier. The buttons, sadly, are a still a little small for guys with big hands like myself.
The DS Lite also comes with a phony GBA cartridge (called a “cap”). If you don’t have a GBA game plugged into the system, you can put in the phony cartridge to keep it from collecting dust in there. However, when you do stick in a GBA game, it sticks out by about a centimeter. It just looks weird. The cap does, at least, keep the system looking good.
Perhaps the most welcome change to the DS Lite is the screen. The original DS screen was not exactly bright. In fact, it was, in comparison the DS Lite, rather dark. Games like Metroid Prime Hunters were darker than they had to be. On this new screen, the difference in how bright the games appear really shows. Not only that but, you can adjust the brightness if need be. It doesn’t really affect the battery life, either. You can play the DS Lite for as long as you played the original. And also like the original, it charges while you play.
Another welcome difference is the touch screen itself. These screens last a lot longer than the original DS. Those who have an original DS no doubt experienced a lot of scratches on their screen from their stylus. To the point where it was noticeable. You could still see the screen, but it was apparent that the stylus was doing a number on it. The screen is more protected here. The stylus doesn’t scratch the screen quite as easily. In other words, the touch screen lasts a lot longer.
The DS Lite also looks better, and fits in your pocket better. It also performs all the tasks of a regular DS. For example, if you’re playing a game and you suddenly have to go, just flip it closed and it sleeps. There’s also a place to store the stylus, and the stylus is better too. It’s a little bigger and thicker, so it’s not quite as easy to lose.
