Kinect Adventures
Do you fancy the experience of tackling Mountaintop obstacle courses? Or how about diving into the deep to a leaking underwater observatory? Shooting the rapids in a dingy? How about floating in outer space? All from the comfort of your own home. All these adventures are available with the new xbox 360 kinect games "Kinect Adventures".
The new "Kinect" system puts you in control as you perform everything in real time.
There are over 20 different adventures in this enthralling and intuitive game. You need to jump, duck, dive and dodge an array of obstacles in games like Rallyball or floating in space.
This is quite good to play on your own but even better with family and friends. You can take photos of action shots, create videos on the fly of your adventures using voice and body commands. You can upload to Facebook and Twitter or just email them to friends and family.
For a party or social gathering this is sure to get everyone involved in having a great time, anything has to be better than Karaoke!
Jump into social adventures. Whether you want to play for just a few minutes or several hours, "Kinect Adventures" is a terrific fun with friends and family members. Take turns jumping in and out of games whenever you like, or jump onto Xbox LIVE to play online. Compete or cooperate -- stretch your muscles or your social skills. "Kinect Adventures" is a brilliant experience.*
There is a range of new innovative games for Microsoft Xbox Kinect including: Kinect Joy Ride, Kinect Adventures, Your Shape, Dance Central and Kinect Sports. Reviews will be available for them all. The kinect system is a giant step forward in interactive gaming and I highly recommend you check it out. Microsoft are holding road shows around the world, so try and catch one if you can.

Xbox 360 Fix - Fix Your Xbox 360 Yourself - No Technical Knowledge Required
Xbox 360 Fix - Fix Your Xbox 360 Yourself - No Technical Knowledge Required
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Chris_Prato]Chris Prato
If you bought an Xbox 360 prior to 2007, there is a good chance that it is not going to last much longer. In fact, it might have already broke down on you. This is a manufacturer defect that eventually happens to all early model Xbox 360, and some later model ones as well. If you play your 360 all the time, it has probably already happened. If you don't play it as much, then it just a matter of time.
The Red Ring of Death
So what happens exactly? Well there are numerous errors that can occur, but the most common end result is the 3 red lights on the power button light ring. This has famously become known as "the red ring of death" and has caused a lot of gamers to become very upset, and understandably. The Xbox 360 is an expensive piece of equipment that should not break down a year or two after being purchased.
Xbox 360 Manufactuer Fix
As the "red ring of death" has become so common, so have proposed solutions to fix your Xbox 360. The most common fix is to send your Xbox 360 back to Microsoft.
If your Xbox 360 is still under warranty, they will only charge you for shipping and will return your Xbox 360 within 8 weeks. If it is not under warranty, then Microsoft will fix your 360 for $140, plus shipping. While Microsoft says they will fix your Xbox 360 if it has been infected with the "red ring of death", they do not guarantee such a fix. So there is a chance that you send in your broken Xbox 360, spend over $140 and have nothing to show for it. This may not be your best option.
The Towel Method
Another Xbox 360 fix has popped up online that a few have had success with, but most have not. It is called "The Towel Method." This method involves wrapping your broken Xbox 360 in a wet towel and turning your console on. You then leave it on for a period of time, essentially overheating your console. Miraculously, this method has worked for some people. But for many others, it has turned their Xbox 360 into a giant paper weight. This method is not recommended and can be very dangerous. (damp towel plus electricity equals potential disaster.)
A Last Resort?
When my Xbox 360 broke, I went on a mission to find the best home fix method, if such a method existed. Sending my console to Microsoft was definitely going to be a last resort. After days of scouring the internet and spending almost over $100 on supposed fix-it methods, I finally found one that worked! Not only did this method work, but it was simple and completely doable by anyone, no technical knowledge is required. In fact, I had my Xbox 360 up and running again in about 45 minutes. I was utterly astounded!
Since I spent so much time and money finding an Xbox 360 fix method that actually worked, I decided to start a website that reviewed different rel=nofollow [http://www.fixyour360today.com]Xbox 360 home fixes to save others from the trouble that I went through. I update this site regularly and post the top 3 sites that offer the best fix it methods. Check out these sites and you will undoubtedly have your Xbox 360 up and running again within the day. Sure beats spending over $140 and waiting 6 or more weeks!

Lost Planet 2 - Fight With the Giant Akrids
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Hayden_H]Hayden H
Lost Planet 2 is the Shooter Game developed by Capcom. The Story takes place in the World of E.D.N. III. It is the Fictional place for Video Gamers which is covered with snow. You have to fight with the dreadful creatures called Akrid. These are the insectoid Aliens which belongs to that World. To destroy these creatures we should use special Armor like weapons called 'Viral Suits' which can withstand powerful attacks by akrids and to emit firepower to kill them. There are different kinds of Akrid Species which you will be facing in the Game at each Level.
In the Game, players can customize their dresses and other parts of the body and can even unlock Body types in the preceding Levels. The best part in Lost Planet 2 Game is the Multiplayer support of up to 4. You will loose your energy if you use any weapon which requires energy.
If you are about to loose your energy, the other players can make you alive by transferring some of his energy and make you alive.
The Giant monsters can be shattered with the help of Viral Suits, powerful Gun Weapons or by entering in to the intestine through their mouth. The Lost Planet 2 gameplay is split into six interrelated episodes in which each level has its own Story, weapons, creatures, heroes and at the final Level all the creatures will come together. The Akrids are made up of Organic body with curative powers. If any parts are destroyed, it can easily bring back them.

Before You Buy - An Xbox 360
Before You Buy - An Xbox 360
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jordan_Drew]Jordan Drew
Before purchasing the "next generation" video game, there are a few things that should be taken into consideration. The Xbox 360 is the latest attempt from Microsoft to control the giant that Sony has dominated for the past several years. With a three-core IBM processor at it's heart, this thing appears to be a wild animal waiting for it's release. Without getting too technical, the specs on the Xbox 360 easily eclipses any piece of gaming equipment around today, with the exception of some of the $4k-$5k high-end gaming PC's.
The first decision you have to make is whether or not to spend and extra $100 on the official Xbox 360 or take the cheap way out and grab the "core". I think you can assume what my recommendation is but for those unaware don't waste your money on the core system. The core, at a suggested price of $299, includes the system, a wired controller, basic video cables, and that's pretty much it. For those that chose to be a bit more dollar wise, the $400 Xbox 360 includes the system with chrome details, a wireless remote, a wireless controller, HD component cables, and the 20 GB hard drive. The latter of the two options would be more than $650 if purchased separately.
The second decision you must make, is if you are going to really jump into the next generation or if you are content with your current television situation. Personally, I went HD over two years ago and there is not in turning back in my horizons. At minimum, you need an HD-capable set in order to fully experience what the next generation of gaming has in store. My current set-up (pictured below) includes my Xbox 360 being displayed on a 32" Olevia Flat-Panel LCD and the picture in one word is MIND-BLOWING. If you have the finances, don't chinch on what type of display is showing these beautifully rendered graphics. Just as a test, I set up my 360 on the last "standard" television I have in my home and to be honest, it didn't look to bad. But once I set it up on my High Definition set, my heart felt at piece and my eyes were finally able to relax and soak in the beauty. The level of detail on an HD set compared to traditional makes the Xbox 360 a must have for ANYONE that has and HD television.
The last thing to consider is the game lineup. I purchased my Xbox 360 the day it launched (how is another story) and with it I bought: Madden 2006, Call of Duty 2, Need for Speed, Perfect Dark Zero and NBA 2K6 (I'm not rich, it's called credit). To my surprise Perfect Dark Zero and Call of Duty 2 quickly stood out as the better games graphically and had pretty good game-play. If you've ever played a first person shooter such as Halo, there shouldn't be any problem popping these in without much of a learning curve. NBA 2K6 is definitely a must-have and is leaps and bounds better than it's Xbox predecessor. Madden and Need for Speed were pretty disappointing considering they seemed to be ports from the original Xbox and nothing more. The line-up, as of now, is still in its infancy and is not enough to make you HAVE to own this system immediately. However, I'm a gaming nut and I would have been extremely disappointed had I not had this system on launch day.
Recommendation: Purchase this system as soon as it is financially viable. The killer apps are in the pipeworks!

Playstation Portable 3000 - Giant Step Above the Rest
Playstation Portable 3000 - Giant Step Above the Rest
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Alan_Peirano]Alan Peirano
After the Playstaion Portable 1000 came the PSP 3000 and is already a giant step above the rest of the competition. It has only been on the market for a few months. The PSP 3000 has abut seven different designs. Each design will fit different customers needs. The seven different versions range from $170 to $200 depending on the version and the different frills each has on them.
The PSP 3000 has a very slim dimension and weighs in at only seven ounces. The screen is a 4.3 inch LCD and has a lot better color reproduction and less glare than the PSP 1000 and 2000. New to the PSP 3000 is the built-in microphone located just below the screen. It can be used for online communication and can also be used for Skype communication applications. With the microphone already in the console you can use headphones with the 3000. If you don't want to use headphones the PSP does have external stereo speakers. The volume is alright but nothing spectacular. As I mentioned just a moment ago the PSP 3000 has a built in Skype client so you can call free Skype to Skype or calls to and from regular phones.
The PSP does have a built in Web Browser. The downfall is that while on the web the pictures and graphics get contorted and isn't something to wright home about. The pages are broken on the screen and lines are running through the picture. The PSP is designed to play games and movies. They load into the PSP into a snap door on the backside of the console. How it looks to me is that Sony is moving more towards the down loadable games and movies. Again I would like to point out that the PSP is primarily a gaming device.
What I think is cool is the Video output. You can invest in some addon cables and plug them into your television and play your games on a bigger screen. The picture is actually pretty good. I thought it might get contorted by going from something so tiny to the big screen, but that was not the case with mine.
I guess in conclusion, what I'm trying to say through out this article is the PSP 3000 is a step above the rest of the competition for now. The Playstation Portable is primarily for playing games on the go. I hope this writing has helped you understand the world of portable gaming.
Hello my name is [http://www.pspvideogamer.info]Alan and I've enjoyed writing these articles for Ezines. I would like to think I'm becoming an expert with the video games section. I am becoming an expert because I watch my son and grandsons play these games and the excitement of watching the competition is most enjoying. They really get after it. It truly is fun to watch them and I even get in on the playing quite a bit of the time. Right now I would like extend the invitation for you to come to my [http://www.pspvideogamer.info]website and check out what I have to offer in games and accessories in the video gaming.

Do it Yourself Xbox 360 E74 Fix - What Microsoft Doesn't Want You to Know
Do it Yourself Xbox 360 E74 Fix - What Microsoft Doesn't Want You to Know
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Grover_Hitson]Grover Hitson
The Xbox 360 is an interesting game system. On the one hand, it has great games, an amazing online infrastructure in place, and a large community of gamers available at every time of day ready to play you in whatever game you choose.
On the other hand however, you have the red ring of death, disc drive errors, and endless amounts of frustration when one of these things happen to you. A very common error code that comes up on Microsoft's gaming console is E74. If you have recently come down with this, don't worry an Xbox 360 E74 fix is easier than you think.
Determining If You Have The E74 Error
The first thing you must determine when looking for an Xbox 360 E74 fix, is if your system is actually plagued by the E74 error. If you aren't sure, it's easy to figure out. If you have this specific error, the Xbox will display a black screen on your TV, and will actually say E74 on the screen, with a message to call Microsoft support. Furthermore, you will see one red flashing light, in the right lower quadrant of the ring.
Xbox 360 E74 Fix - What Not To Do
If you've determined you have the E74 error your first reaction may be to call Microsoft customer service. Honestly, if your warranty has expired, don't even bother. First of all they will charge you close to $150 for repairs, shipping and handling, and insurance. And if that isn't bad enough, they'll hold on to your console for as long as 2 months. In my opinion, this is just ridiculous. I don't think the cost, or the length of time is justifiable, for a system you already paid so much money for.
One Xbox 360 E74 fix that gets recommended a lot, but is not something you should try is the towel trick. The towel trick entails you wrapping your system in a towel, and powering it on until it overheats. The theory is that once you let it cool down, turn it back on, your Xbox will be fixed. This often works but only for a short time, and in can have many negative long term effects on your gaming system.
Xbox 360 E74 Fix - Do It Yourself
The Xbox 360 E74 fix I recommend is to get a guide and to do it yourself. While this may seem daunting at first, I can assure you that with proper instructions it is very simple. Most of the tools required to do an Xbox 360 E74 fix are common household items. The other good thing about doing it yourself is that you can finish in under 2 hours and the fix is permanent.
If you ask me, saving over a $100, and having your Xbox 360 fixed in 2 hours as opposed to 2 months is a no brainer. That's why the do it yourself [http://xbox-360-e74-fix.com/xbox-360-e74-fix]Xbox 360 E74 fix is your best option.

A very common error code that comes up on Microsoft's gaming console is E74. If you have recently come down with this, don't worry an Xbox 360 E74 fix is easier than you think.
Determining If You Have The E74 Error
The first thing you must determine when looking for an Xbox 360 E74 fix, is if your system is actually plagued by the E74 error. If you aren't sure, it's easy to figure out. If you have this specific error, the Xbox will display a black screen on your TV, and will actually say E74 on the screen, with a message to call Microsoft support. Furthermore, you will see one red flashing light, in the right lower quadrant of the ring.
Xbox 360 E74 Fix - What Not To Do
If you've determined you have the E74 error your first reaction may be to call Microsoft customer service. Honestly, if your warranty has expired, don't even bother. First of all they will charge you close to $150 for repairs, shipping and handling, and insurance. And if that isn't bad enough, they'll hold on to your console for as long as 2 months. In my opinion, this is just ridiculous. I don't think the cost, or the length of time is justifiable, for a system you already paid so much money for.
One Xbox 360 E74 fix that gets recommended a lot, but is not something you should try is the towel trick. The towel trick entails you wrapping your system in a towel, and powering it on until it overheats. The theory is that once you let it cool down, turn it back on, your Xbox will be fixed. This often works but only for a short time, and in can have many negative long term effects on your gaming system.
