Video Reviews

I got both the ATI Radeon X800Pro and the GeForce 6800 Ultra for a review I'm writing in an ezine. When it comes right down to it the ATI Radeon X800 Pro matches or beats the GeForce 6800 Ultra in game performance and IQ. Compare the price, performance, and IQ of the ATI Radeon X800 Pro with the GeForce 6800 Ultra, and the ATI Radeon X800 Pro definitely stacks up as the better value than the 6800 ultra. NVIDIA is today launching an even higher clocked Ultra, no doubt in response to the X800XT-PE. We have yet to even see a retail 6800 ultra for any of the partners so currently I would consider these a non-issue. Also, a lower clocked 6800GT is being introduced but this card is simply not currnetly going to play in the same ballpark with the X800 series from ATI.

I bought the tripod and I found it great. I can use it with my camera and camcorder. Without much effort. It's easy to use, compact and not very heavy to carry.

Great value for money

Looking for an inexpensive card that can play GTAIII,RTC WOLFENSTEIN, ETC than this card is for you. Great performance.

After spending time in games like Diablo2 and many other graphics intenseive games, I realized that my car just doesnt cut it anymore. My old 4mg Ati Pro Rage card, long obsolete, has managed to chug along. But I hope the use of this new card will surely enhance performance.

Because I'm a big gamer, I like powerful video cards, and am glad this card can make my ole 433 go the way of the dinosaur the way it was meant to. With a BIG BANG!

I have had this Camera for over a year. The drivers were buggy under Windows ME (what wasn't), but works flawless under Windows XP. It does a Fantastic job for Netmeeting use. All I can say is I'm impresssed at the job it has done for a camera in it's price range.

The Yamaha DGX505 has great sounds and features. It is very similar to the DGX305 however the DGX505 has the additional look and sound of an acoustic piano: 88 piano-style keys, a wooden stand and side panels, sustain pedal and high-resolution piano sample. I don't think you will be disappointed.

I cannot describe it well enough here. It is too good for words. 'Nuff said.

I'm impressed. A metal cabinet plus frosted glass. Matches my new Sony large screen LCD very well.

A snap to put together. EXTRA hardware! I wish I had known about this company before I spent $450 on my TV stand.

I never write reviews, but I had to comment on this one.

Nintendo Gamecube is a Awesome Console with some CONS explore all 3 but Gamecube is still the best.

GAMECUBE

Games 9/10 Best Games on any Console New exclusives Like RESIDENT EVIL METROID PRIME and much more!!! Not The most games but they are really good.

Graphics 8/10 to some morons who said GC graphics suck if you look Closely they are almost as good as XBOX games are dark thats why the graphics are good GC are light but still good.

Controller 7/10 in my opinion they are the best comfy and are easy to use however really bad vibrations.

Internet 4/10 Better internet than PS2 however Very few online games has Mario cark double dash for internet and PHANTASY STAR ONLINE.

PS2

Graphics 4/10 Arent good Dreamcast graphics are almost as good as that Real Blurry and games are too dark to hide the graphics cant handle some games. Terrrible Graphics. ps2 Has good games like GTA and DDR and FIANL Fantasy Wait XBOX as GTA DDR AND FINAL FANTASY so games for ps2 are nothing.

Games 5/10 biggest selection of games however Most of the games they have are terrible and are not worth buying. Even the best games like Wolfenstein and other good games look Terrible when on PS2

Controller 9/10 Best Controller out there good at everything mostly fighting games.

Internet 6/10 As quite alot of internet games really laggy and bad connection Cheap Adopter pretty good

XBOX

Games 7/10 has great games for 13+ of course xbox games are for older people Really good games

Graphics 9/10 really good graphics nuff said

Controller 4/10 Big Klunky Awkward Design Has alot of buttons

Internet 10/10 has a HUGE selection of internet games has XBOX live worth the cost.

OVERALL GC IS BEST GET IT

Consoles are bought for their exclusive games and the system's features. Halo, Xbox Live, and Knights of the Old Republic for XBox, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Metal Gear Solid 2, and Final Fantasy X for Playstation 2. But people glaze their eyes over paying any attention to the purple box with a handle and I believe they miss out.

Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime, Super Mario Sunshine, Zelda: Wind Waker, Pikmin, and Super Monkey Ball 2 are 6 games that are about fun. Oddly enough, all but SMB2 are published by Nintendo. They understand what makes games fun to play with. ED offers mature gamers a deep story (disclaimer: its not as deep if the gamer doesn't ask questions or start looking up ancient history), and Pikmin offers a refreshingly new and charming strategic puzzle adventure.

And if you like those, you'll be happy to know that every one (but ED) of those games has a known sequel in the works. If you like Metal Gear Solid, then a remake is hitting the cube this fall. If you like Resident Evil, Cube is your system. If you have fun memories of mario kart, you'll be ready to buy Mario Kart: Double Dash this year, along with the fastest futuristic racer, F-Zero. If you like RPGs, Final Fantasy Chronicles, Phantasy Star Online, Skies of Arcadia, Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing, and other very good RPGs are here or coming in a few months.

Clearly there are a lot of exclusives for everyone. If you just want your Madden 2004, and Red Faction II, or Timesplitters 2, and Splinter Cell, then you can get those too. Check out the rest of gamecube's library: ..

well i have to say this was the first system i got (out of xbox and ps2) and ive had it for 2 years now. i have 21 games for it and theyre all brand new, but theyre wer such a low price. honestly, gamecube has the games with the best quality and the lowest prices. i mean, you can get a brand new game for only like 10 bucks! this syystem already brings memories. my very first game was super smash bros. melee. heres a list of games you should look for:

These are only a small amount of all the great games to get!!! GAMECUBE WILL LIVE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks!

Oh, one more thing! Nintendo was the first (besides atari) to come out with a gaming system! It has the most systems (besides SEGA) and lets face it: Nintendo knows games! it has the best sustems:

Nintendo (NES)
Super Nintendo (SNES)
Gameboy
Gameboy Pocket
Gameboy Color
Gameboy Advance
Nintendo 64
Gameboy Advance SP
Nintendo Gamecube

If you dont have a GC, I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS GEM OF A GAME SYSTEM!!!! NINTENDO IS THE MOST SUCCEEDING GAME COMPANY IN THE WORLD!!!!!

PROS:
-better and updated hardware than PS2... a litte weaker console specs compared to Xbox.
-known for its excellent 1st party games (internally Nintendo made games such as Mario, Metroid, etc.)
-Resident Evil exclusive.
-cheaper than the PS2 and Xbox (currently on 12-31-02)
-partners up with Gameboy Advance for many functions.
-very small and portable console, as well as game cds.
-best gaming experience in the market.
CONS:
-non compatible with DVD's or music cds.
-sales of console aren't great, but not bad.
-not very involved in online gaming as Xbox or PS2.
-memory cards not that great in capacity.
-lost Rare to Microsoft (they made Fox Adventures, Perfect Dark, etc.)
-may be considered "kiddy" with games such as Super Monkey Ball; and not having a considerable amount of Mature games compared to Xbox and PS2.
-not a good game base so far... of course it hasn't been released as long as PS2.
-no high-profile games like Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid, etc.

OVERALL:
excellent system for ages 6-15. Before making a choice between Xbox, PS2, and GC... look at which types of games you are looking to play with most, for all 3 systems hardware are almost all the same.

Nintendo's latest console is a great system overall. It beats Sony's PS2 power wise, but is weaker than XBOX. But the main reason to buy this system is the games. Though many people think the system is for little kids. ITS NOT!!! It has a wide selection of games for all ages. Some the titles that look "kiddy" are some of the hardest games to play on the system, for example, Super Monkey Ball. Nintendo has all of its major franchises on this system.

Here are some games that are worth purchasing for the system:
THe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Metroid Prime
Super Smash Bros Melee
Super Mario Sunshine
Phantasy Star Online Episode I and II (Gamecube's only online game)
Pikmin
Eternal Darkness
Resident Evil
Resident Evil 0
Star Fox Adventures
Skies of Arcadia Legends
Super Monkey Ball 2
Splinter Cell
Star Wars: Rogue Leader
Timesplitters 2
Animal Crossing
Ikaruga
Tony Hawk 4

Upcoming Games:
Viewtiful Joe
Metal Gear Solid: THe Twin Snakes
Soul Calibur II
F-Zero GX
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
Prince of Persia: THe Sands of TIme
P.N. 03
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
Sonic Heroes
Phantasy Star Online CARD Revolution
Mario Tennis
Mario Golf
Star Wars: Rebel Strike
Metroid Prime 2
Mario 128

THere are so many quality games for this system and many support connectivity with Nintendo's hanheld, the game boy advance. Many of these games are also exclusive to the system.
But if you are looking for sport games...This may not be the system for you. BUt they're coming out with a new Madden and Tiger Woods.

In comparison with PS2 games, the Gamecube's library is much smaller but has almost as many quality games.

In comparison with XBOX games, the Gamecube is better. THe XBOX has fewer quality games. BUt the XBOX has the best online plan.

Overall, the Gamecube is a great system to own because of its flagship titles. And right now you get a free game with the system. What a Great Deal. I suggest getting Zelda or Metroid. The GAmecube is worth buying!

This is the best gameing system out there. My 4 year old son loves it. I would never buy any of the others because most of there games involve sex or violence. Why would you want your kids learnig how to kill someone or seeing sexual things on there games. I like playing mario kart double dash and pac man world 2. Its just a fun gaming system and you can play your old gameboy games too as well as your new gameboy games.<br />
