task 3 week 3

"The next generation consoles" are what people are playing on in our time like the Playstation 3, xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii which are the very best consoles to buy on the market so far, because of their high graphics and different gadgets and unique interaction in games. For example the Wii uses wireless (pretty much television remotes) controllers to play games like Mario kart Wii where the player has to tilt the controller to turn around corners etc.

My thoughts on these consoles is that even though they are expensive, they are alot of fun to play like Little Big Planet for the PS3 for example where you can push your mates into firepits or all four of you are hanging onto each other dangling over firepits and trying not to fall in!
The big change in games so far for developers is that it is costing more and more for each new game that is being released to make due to so much time and effort the staff needs to put in to create bigger and better things for their companies.

My big little timeline cont...
After the N64, i swapped it for a playstation which had alot of games that came with it such as Oddworld: Abe's Oddessy which was a fantastic game to play because it made the player think on how to get out of situations and how Abe would save as many slaves as he could.
was great fun but later I sold that to help buy a Playstation 2 which my dad bought for me and my brother Andrew in the year 2000. The first game I played for that was a Metal Gear Solid 2 demo and Tekken Tag (which was pretty much a button basher), then after having and completing those games i ended up buying over 19 games in total but traded them in to help buy a Nintendo DS in 2008.
