This is a game that was overlooked by a lot of people as they really didn’t know much about it. There has not been enough press around this game. The game itself is made by Bioware who are of course the people behind Mass Effect. This is their new games based entirely on a brand new world that they had spent years thinking up. Although the game is likely to take you around 150 hours to complete it has to be said that the graphics are not up to the standards that should be expected of a next generation game. It is still a great game.

All About Video Games

Filed under: Arts Entertainment — Tags: — admin @ 5:55 am

The Xbox 360 multimedia platform is one of the latest operating systems for playing video games on. It features a game playing environment that allows the user to rotate their viewpoint in a 360 degree radius, and the visual aspects in each video game is very realistic for even the most seasoned of video game players.

Some video games are compatible for use on other gaming systems. The Nintendo Wii game system will play single or double-layered optical discs or 8-centimeter Nintendo GameCube video games too. The Game Boy Micro will play all video games that are made for the Game Boy Advance SP models.

The Nintendo DS has the capability to allow up to 16 players to network together and enjoy the same video game action and chat with each other as they enjoy their video games. The Nintendo DS will also play all games currently used by the Game Boy Advance and those made specifically for the Nintendo DS game system.

The Sony PlayStation Portable is commonly called a PSP by video gamers all over the world. This handheld video game system serves double duty as a video game player and one that will serve as a portable video and photo viewer. MP3-encoded songs can also be played when they are stored on the Memory Stick Duo that comes with all game consoles.

The Xbox features unbelievable graphics and an amazingly powerful hard drive system that some people compare to the hard drives found in their own personal computer systems that they have at home. Many of the XBOX video games are suitably rated for Teen and Mature audiences, and some of them may contain very graphic violence and adult themes that are not suitable for viewing by children.

Goozex Hands On Review

Where do gamers go?

The choices you have as a gamer are:

  1. Buy (Online, Ebay, used, Gamestop..)
  2. Rent (Gamefly, blockbuster…)
  3. Trade (Goozex, Switchplanet..)

Renting in the past at your brick and mortar rental place can easily set you back more then $5-$7 every week like Blockbuster. There have been other online rental game sites that charge a monthly fee like /month for one game out like Gamefly. Renting isn’t all together bad but playing videogames isn’t like watching movies. Much more time is needed for videogames than movies. Most movies range from 1.5 hours to epics of 6 hours. Where most videogames you could get a good feel for a game in 3 hours but most sports games and long role playing games could be played for more then 70 hours.

This is where Goozex steps in. Goozex allows the gamer to keep the game as long as you want but have the option to sell it too. There is only a $1 transaction fee if you request a game on their network. So basically you can trade in your older games and build up Goozex credit until you get enough for a newer title and just pay the $1 transaction fee. A shipping and handling is handled by sender and the buyer only pays . No membership fees so no need to feel you need to use the system. This is ideal in the sense that you could play the game until you are actually sick of it then send it in for credit. So you’re not rushed to get as many games played on the network because you can play at your own pace. Plus you OWN the game. From then on the game is yours, not a rental.

You only send games directly to the next member. There is no single central warehouse and the pricing of the credits of the system are in points (100pts = $5). The pricing of the game is determined by market demand, release date, initial cost of the game, and a couple other factors. Most xbox 360 titles will go for 800-1000 pts which translates to $40-$50. This isn’t bad for a used game. Some money can be saved buying used but there is still tax and travel time/cost. Goozex gives you free shipping to you with no tax charge. You also have an option to buy credits if you want but I wouldn’t recommend that unless you have no games to send in or nothing of yours is being requested. The game prices will fluctuate and you will see the price change in your history. I’ve had a couple games I requested and I can see that price increase/decrease. It doesn’t happen that much but some games change +/- 200pts depending on market demand.

So why use Goozex instead of a used videogame store or an auction site with games like Ebay? You just need $1 to pay for the transaction fee. Most people don’t like to continually shell out more money for a game and then feel like the games they bought are depreciating at a very fast rate. Selling your game for cash anywhere will not give you that much. Brick and mortar stores resell your games for a huge mark up. Selling online is tiresome. Goozex at least you get to trade in games you are done with and still get some value out of it as it will lead to other games you really want. Older games like madden 2000 will be harder to move due to demand. Older games on ebay are a hassle to sell. On Goozex you will be able to list it and it will just stay there without having to pay insertion fees.

Each videogame is packed with information like reviews from Gamepro, some tips/trick, game description, and some even have instructions. The best feature is the ability to see how many copies of a game are listed on the network verses how many are being requested. This will let you know if you have a game people want or if you can possibly get a game on the network. Goozex determines who gets the game by matching up users. There is a waiting list that is generated and when you add a game you will see in what place you are waiting for that game. You get a good feel to when you will get a game. There is also a distinction between games you want now and games you have for holding. Both will show you your place in line so you’re not forced to get every game you want now. This is a good way to build up a wishlist and then have your core set of games your really want now. It is ideal to have a very large set of games you want now so you will have a very good chance of getting a game soon. I was requesting Crackdown for the Xbox 360 and I was 60th person in line. Turns out I got the game in less then 2 weeks. Just because you’re really deep in line doesn’t mean you won’t get the game soon. The system can deliver newer games in a short amount of time which is a huge bonus for gamers that want to play newer games but don’t want to buy them at the store. You have many options to what you want to trade in terms of instructions, case or just game. Some people tend to not keep cases or instructions. The value of the game doesn’t go down as the credits don’t reflect what is included. This is because the user requesting the game can have the option to request only full packaged games, games with instructions, or just the game itself. I have not had a problem with getting full packages as I’ve gotten over 49 games and I’ve sent out 54 in under 2 years of being there.

Why NOT to use

For this site to be a perfect 5 star site I would like to see:

1. More users (will there ever be enough?)
2. More retro gaming console support (nes, snes, saturn….)
3. Sure isn’t free but man it’s 4 quarters. I’m a member of another site that has no transaction fees yet still protects the members.
4. Sneak peak video game trailers
5. More community interaction (user reviews, recommendations…)

All the above are small tweaks to the system that is already very functional. The main reason someone would NOT want to use this system is time and money. If you have the dough you would just buy it new down the street? Why wait? The main draw to the site is how much money you can save and the community there. Save money and also connect with other gamers. If your very impatient then new release games will have to be purchased. Most new release games takes on average of 1-2 months. Why? You are placed in a waiting line. The order of the Que determines when you get the new game, but more importantly is how many are available? Most will eventually get bored of their new game and will send them out as “have” games. The wait times do get long. Say you want to play a game that takes a long time to beat. Some people like myself take a long time with games. Seasonal games with many updates like Madden will hit the system quick but it’s also a bad thing. You don’t want to hold a game too long or it will lose it’s value. Trading for early on might be for 1000 points but in a couple months with the market being saturated it could be 500 points in no time losing half of it’s value. Not entirely the fault of the system but some games just won’t move depending on your timing.

Current Goozex Simultaneous Transaction on the Network as of Mar 11, 2009 = 4793

How Kids Enjoy Online Video Games

It might not be surprising to us why kids love video games. It is the chief source of entertainment that allows them to interact as a character in a world that they perceive to be of their own doing. This plays out well in the creative side of any child, the need to do something out of the ordinary.

Video games don’t seem to provide limitations, which kids enjoy as they learn of their actual real life limitations. Limitations are present in video games but they don’t perceive this element. With a change of a cartridge or a disc, they can also change from a soldier to a warrior. Old school games like cops and robbers have been replaced by the virtual kind.

Using sharing options or playing individually, kids can be found glued to their game consoles. So it isn’t true that video games have rendered most kids as loners. Whether a kid would be a loner or not is still up to his upbringing. By means of video games, kids, amongst their present social circle, find friends. It allows them a chance to talk to someone who they otherwise wouldn’t have talked to. And this allows them to share thoughts and strategies in the game, as well as in their young lives. A friendship could provide them with necessary socialization skills and it all came from a common interest.

To those children who are not allowed to play video games on a regular basis, the reason why these kids love video games is because it gives them a sense of achievement. Often, video games are given by their parents as a reward for doing well academically. A chance to play video games without restrictions, the fruit of their labors, allows them to focus on their schoolwork during the weekdays.

To move away from what makes them feel comfortable is one of the reasons why some introverted kids love video games. Certain decisions must be made by the kids while playing most RPG games. He can learn to apply this lesson, that he is what he decides to do or be, in real life.

Places that they know are far from their reach is virtually within their grasp Some games are hooked online, making interactions among gamers almost as cultural as it is interpersonal. It makes games more exciting if they see that they have more potential allies or enemies.

The reasons why they love video games might be unclear to them now. Often they would just talk about the gaming elements and the image quality of the game. Levels of difficulty and bragging rights are a frequent topic. But in the long run, video games can be something that they would love for the rest of their lives or outgrow. So the next time you kid wants cheap Fable 2, cheap Clone Wars Light Saber Duels, or buy Gears of War 2; maybe you should say yes.

Top Five Blackjack Strategies

Here are a few blackjack tips that we hope you’ll find useful.

1.  Use basic blackjack strategy – because it reduces the house edge to less than 1%.  Of course, the house edge will be lowered to that level only if you are flawless in the use of basic blackjack strategy.

2.  Play at blackjack tables where the dealer must stand on all 17s.  This reduces the house edge a little – compared to situations where the dealer hits soft 17, which actually increases the house advantage.

3.  If you don’t know how to use the insurance bet, don’t attempt use it – it’s one of the worst at the blackjack table.  It may seem like a good bet in the beginning, but once you really think about it and calculate a few numbers, there’s too much of an edge against you, so stay far away from it.

4.  Play against as few decks as possible.  It’s always at your advantage to do this.

5.  Don’t be greedy. One thing that can destroy you when gambling is greed.  When playing blackjack you should set limits for yourself and set aside a certain amount to gamble and once you’ve lost that, head for the exit.  Don’t get sucked in, thinking that if you play long enough you’ll win back the money you have lost – it never usually works that way.  Think similarly when you’re winning.  If you have won a certain amount and you’re above what you have set aside for the night, simply put it in your pocket and forget it for the rest of the night.  That way, you might surprise yourself in the end.

Hopefully you’ve found these blackjack tips useful. If you haven’t already done it, you should try playing blackjack at your favorite online casino.  Some selections would be Atlantic City Blackjack or Beat Blackjack.

The Ins and Outs of the Game of Slots

Playing slots on the Internet is much the same as playing slot machines in more traditional casinos. You put coins in a slot, pull a lever, and hope the same pictures on the reels all line up.  However, online slots give you the convenience of being able to play without having to leave your home, any time of the day.  And on most sites, the payout is set as high as the highest machines in Las Vegas.

Like its real life counterpart, online slots are one of the most popular casino games.  Many people find slots less stressful and easier to play than games such as blackjack and roulette. They are a simple, carefree games.  If you have never played online slots, you may want to start by finding a site that lets you play with virtual money.  That way you can familiarize yourself with the game without losing money.  Once you are comfortable playing, you can start playing with real money.

Just as with traditional slots, when playing online slots you get the potential to make money, but you also have the potential to lose money.  Check into sites to find out which have the highest payout percentage.  Many people worry that they may get cheated; but these machines are powered by random number generators, and the results of every game is completely random.

If you go to reputable sites, you do not have to worry about being cheated. The best way to avoid scams is to read reviews and try multiple sites.  Some people also worry about using their credit card online.  Again, if you do research and go to reputable site, you don’t have to worry.  Your credit card information will be sent over encrypted connections.  Just to make sure, do a spyware and virus scan on your computer before putting in your credit card number anywhere on the Internet.  Just as with factual life slots, there are different types of online slots.

Although all online slots are really just visual representations of three, and five reel slots, they all have very real slots jackpots. Do not worry about what type you play, just be sure to always have fun!  You can find free slot software on sites like Aussie Slots, Beat Slot Machines or California Mega Millions Lottery.

Improve Your Odds at The Roulette Table

Roulette is often said to be the casual casino player’s game of choice. It’s quite easy to walk up to the roulette table and simply place a bet – at the roulette table, no one is typically sitting down, and there is no maximum number of players – so it’s almost as though you’re always welcome at the roulette table. Additionally, it’s an easy-paced casino game that just about anyone can learn the basics of by just watching a few spins.

The game of roulette is a negative expectation one – i.e. over the long run you are expected to lose. Here are a few things you should know in order to at least get better looking odds than anyone else at the roulette table. On American roulette tables, all bets calculate out to the same house edge of 5.25%. The single exception to this rule is the 5-number bet, which has an even worse edge of 7.29%.

How then can you get better odds? Here are a few tips:

1. Keep an eye out for is a rule called ‘surrender’. Surrender is available at many casinos. The rule only applies to outside even money bets, and it doesn’t affect the edge of your whole session. This rule simply cuts your losses in half in the instance of a green pocket hitting. So if you’re betting an even money outside bet and a double zero or zero hits, you only lose half of your bet, not the entire thing. This of course pulls the house edge on outside even money bets down to 2.63%, which is definitely a lot better.

2. Look out for the single zero roulette wheel, i.e. the European roulette wheel. A European roulette wheel has a single zero pocket, and no double zero. There are only a total of 37 pockets left on the wheel, which does cut the casino house edge. This small and subtle shift lowers the house edge on all bets (not just the outside even money ones) to 2.70%. Very very nice.

Hopefully you’ve found our roulette information useful. If you haven’t already done it, you should try playing roulette at your favorite online casino via sites like: Free Roulette Game, Free Roulette Play or Free Roulette Systems.
