Review summary |
The Sony PSP elevates portable gaming to the next level, but its multimedia functionality falls short of its full potential.
|
With its extensive digital media features, a superior online service, and an excellent game library, the Xbox 360 remains the game console to beat.
|
It lacks the graphical prowess and rich media features of the Xbox 360 and the PS3, but the Nintendo Wii's combination of unique motion-sensitive controllers and emphasis on fun gameplay make the ultra-affordable console hard to resist.
|
With a slick new design, brighter screens, and a growing library of fun and innovative games, the Nintendo DS Lite is an impressive improvement over the original DS.
|
Even though PS2 backward compatibility has been dropped from this version, the 80GB PS3 is still a superb Blu-ray player and high-definition game console.
