Gaming on the PC is not what it used to be. Even though quality games are still coming out for the PC the number of releases have dropped. This could be because of the growing popularity of gaming consoles. Game consoles are easier to maintain, have plug-and-play functionality and you don’t have to worry about the hardware so much. But PC gaming has its own unique qualities that make it perfect for certain types of gaming. Real time strategy is the perfect platform for PC gaming, and so is flight simulations.

3D is the next big frontier in home entertainment if we are to believe Sony and what it has been saying in various tech conferences and expos. The company is investing heavily on 3D that it is coming out aggressively with 3D related products like 3D-ready LCD TVs, 3D glasses (the company recently announced more affordable 3D glasses at the last E3 Expo), and has already made available a firmware update on the Playstation 3 to enable 3D gaming and content.

If you are looking for a good handheld game that is not going to turn your children’s brains to mush but will actually exercise it – and even yours too if you do play with it, then the iball3 is a game you should definitely consider.

Gamers can be a very obsessive bunch. I’ve seen friends who just talk about games all day long, or go to the internet to research on the best strategies in beating a game, or join game-related forums so they can compare notes with other gamers.

No one can deny that Microsoft’s Kinect is one revolutionary piece of kit. It wowed audiences when it was first revealed to the public and the admiration has turned into great sales for Microsoft and for the Xbox 360.

You can easily download one off the net for a small price - or if your Google-fu is strong, free - and you can just download the ROMS of the games that you legally (heh) purchased back in the console's heyday, and play away!
