Nintendo confirmed last November about a big display Nintendo DSi XL handheld console and now it’s going to be available next month.
Bearing a 4.2-inch screen that is 93 percent bigger in comparison to the original DSi, Nintendo will bring Nintendo DSi XL on March 28 in North America. Business Week reported that Nintendo will also push the ebook reader for the handheld console. Just like Sony gifted Comic Store to PlayStation Portable, Nintendo will bring a book store for DS owners.
With books for Nintendo DSi XL, the company in a way will compete with several existing players like Amazon (Kindle DX), Sony (Reader and PSP), Apple iPad Tablet, Barnes & Noble (Nook), Notion Ink (Adam) and so on. A downloadable package dubbed ‘ 100 Classic books’ is the App that is being talked about and will be released through Wii channels on June 14 for $20 (Rs. 960 approx.). We still have to wait for the list of books and novels included in these 100 Classic collection.
On the other end, Apple iPad Tablet is due to arrive by next month which too acts as eBook reader. And with 4.2-inch screen even DSi XL can serve as a good ebook reader just like many use iPhone albeit not for prolonged hours. If more ebooks are made available for DSi XL, then it may attract the casual gamers, who can also use it for reading some good titles. Apart from that, DSi XL will also have Opera mobile browser for surfing the web.
Similar handheld devices capable of more than the basic function like gaming make the choice wee bit difficult for consumers. Sony offers Comics on the PSPgo and now DSi XL will bring ebook reading capability. Are we heading for an eBooks vs digital comics clash in the near future? May be. But before that, let’s wait for the Nintendo DSi XL handheld console to arrive.
The new Nintendo DSi XL is priced at US $189.99 and available for pre-order now!
The BioShock team has pulled off another masterpiece. One that expands the mythology, but doesn’t lose any of the mystery. One that introduces fascinating new settings and characters, but doesn’t forget or neglect those previously established. One that gives the player devastating new power, but balances that with devastating new fear. One that takes chances and makes changes, but almost always for the better.
Thev’ve pulled off Bioshock 2!
Bioshock 2 begins as you take control of one of the first Big Daddies, a prototype called Delta, who must find his way across the Rapture of 10 years later in search of Eleanor, the Little Sister to whom he was bonded. Along the way he is taunted by Lamb, who believes he is nothing less than a threat to the future of humanity, and like his predecessor in the first game the people he meets on the way help to explain his past, while your behaviour towards them has the potential to define the future.
Once again you are equipped with plasmids and standard weapons, but now you can use both at once, loosing genetic powers with one hand and regular projectiles with the other. You can cycle between alternatives in each category, or pause the action momentarily to change your loadout through quick-to-use radial menus. As a Big Daddy you have access to new weapons, too, including a drill, a magnificent spear gun that pins enemies to walls by their appendages, and a grenade launcher the size of a filing cabinet.
The weapons are better. The plasmids are better. The enemies are better. At some points, even the storytelling is better. What’s most amazing and surprising about Bioshock 2, however, is that by diving deeper into Rapture’s tortured history and exploring more of Rapture’s haunted world, it actually manages to make the original BioShock better, too.
Get into Bioshock 2 now for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC; it retails (even underwater) for less than US $ 59.99 (check latest price!)

Dante’s Inferno is available at last for PS3, XBox 360 and PSP, but who really dares?
In Dante’s Inferno, players assume the role of Dante as he travels on an epic descent through Dante Alighieri’s nine circles of Hell – limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. Players assume the role of Dante, who descends into Hell after returning home to find his beloved Beatrice murdered, with Lucifer seducing her soul into the underworld. His mission is to save Beatrice, but he soon realizes he is also in Hell to face his own demons and ultimately to redeem himself.
To take down the demons of Hell, Dante is outfitted with two primary weapons: the Scythe he takes from Death and the Holy Cross given to him by Beatrice, which has spiritual powers that will help Dante collect souls and spells from the creatures he defeats on his journey. The game also features a deep upgrade system so gamers can customize their abilities to their specific gameplay style. Each circle showcases its own distinct look, with demons, monsters, damned and geography that are crafted straight from the poem’s vivid descriptions.

Rockstar first teased us by releasing its top-down GTA on the Nintendo DS. Then they redeemed themselves by bringing it to the PSP, even though it is almost a year late. But Rockstar is doing a lot to ensure that PSP owners don’t feel left out, and to offset claims that this release is simply a rushed port meant to cash in on the franchise.
First of all, some of the basic content of the game has been improved. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars PSP features enhanced graphics, with more polygons, proper lighting effects and a minimap that can display on the same screen as the action. There are also six new instrumental radio stations, taking advantage of the additional storage available on the PSP format. Finally, more supplementary minigame content like Rampgaes have been added to the game outside of the main storyline.
There will also be more story missions in the PSP version of Chinatown Wars. So far, Rockstar has revelaed details about one exclsuive mission called “Factory Fun”. This extended mission is very similar to one in San Andreas called “Are You Going to San Fierro?” Factory Fun invlolves infiltrating a warehouse drug operation and destroying the crops, all while protecting a documentary filmmaker who comes along just to make your life more complicated.
This new character is named Melanie Mallard, an aspiring journalist and documentary filmmaker who becomes involved in the action while doing a story on the city’s Triad gang. Melanie has made a deal with Chan Jaoming to get a behind-the-scenes look at his business, hoping to get the scoop on a major story. Hard-headed and sassy, with shades of April O’Neil, Melanie is sure to be a constant annoyance to Huang.
The Crash Bandicoot: WARPED series has once again returned to the system in which it began its lifespan. This series has always been one of my favorites ever since the original had come out and it had bestowed its head in the video game world. In time a sequel was made, but people constantly asked this question. Was is it any different then the previous one? Was it any different as to have full expectations of a great game right out of the get-go? Unfortunately, the answer was no. Both of these games were alike, and shared many of the things that one had just in a different way. But Naughty Dog (creators of this coveted series) thought of changing that with the sequel. You see, the first Crash suffered liabilities of ever being fun, and its replay value was really low. As for the second one, while it was fun it was however, too easy, too linear, and like the past one it had little to no replay value. So as for the third mark in the series one could’ve easily have easily told from the beginning that this game was going to be fun, challenging, enjoying, and with high replay value. So as one will eventually see the game follows in every mark mentioned, except for one, and that’s its challenge. But with great and zany puzzles Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped still feels and still acts like a winner.
Crash Bandicoot: WARPED begins right were the other one left off. After his plan backfired yet again, Neo Cortex was losing power. Unfortunately, a pile of debris had hit a mountaintop and out came a villain hell-bent on world destruction. His name was Uka Uka. Uka Uka is a mask portrayal of a powerful demon and this powerful demon is the brother to the other ancient mask: Aku Aku. Aku Aku is a great friend of Crash Bandicoot and his sister Coco (in fact he’s that little mask who gave you a chance to continue after you got hit in the past games). Uka Uka then learns that Cortex has failed him too many times. He is mad that he never brought Crash Bandicoot down, and that he never had a chance to become ruler of the world. So upon knowing this Uka Uka makes his own plan. He gets a machine that will plan to “somehow” destroy the world. For this machine to be powered up it needs 25 crystals, of which have been stirred and strewn through time. Then Cortex and Uka Uka get a time machine and then they go off to get the crystals. Back at Crash’s house, Aku Aku tells them of the power of his evil brother, and then all three of them go to the time machine and all three hope to get all of the crystals.
Nintendo has dropped 50 dollars from the price tag of the Nintendo Wii gaming console!
Cammie Dunaway, who is the executive vice president of sales and marketing at Nintendo of America, stated that, “Wii has reached more video game players than any game system before because it attracts everyone – both men and women, and people of all ages. Our research shows there are 50 million Americans thinking about becoming gamers, and this more affordable price point and our vast array of new software mean many of them can now make the leap and find experiences that appeal to them, whatever their tastes or level of gaming experience.”
Nintendo is saying that, despite the reduced price, buyers will still get the same package, consisting of a gaming console, a Wiimote, the Nunchuk and the video game Wii Sports. To get the most out of their gaming rigs, players might want to pick up a second Wiimote, maybe one or two Motion-Plus add-ons, and even a Classic Controller.
It seems a bit of a missed opportunity for Nintendo. The price cut is nice in itself, but the manufacturer could have also introduced the Motion Plus as part of the package, to make sure that all the players who picked the console up from then on could enjoy the better motion tracking, or it could have opted to replace Wii Sports with the newer and more interesting Wii Sports Resort. Still, the new price point of 199 dollars means that the Wii will get a boost in sales beginning with late September, probably holding its lead on the PlayStation 3 Slim and the Xbox 360 Elite, which both retail for 299 dollars.

Ubisoft announced a Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi video game system installment for its upcoming comedy-adventure, Rabbids Go Home.

Players will solve a variety of puzzles and brain teasers in an effort to collect as much stuff as they can to build a giant pile all the way to the moon.
The game will also feature an intuitive Level Editor, allowing players to create their own puzzles and share them with other gamers for more Rabbids adventures.

Sony’s PSP Go Cradle comes first, so what is this for?
Simply put, use this cradle to dock your PSP Go system, to charge it and to sync contents with your PC.
Note though, to charge the PSP go system using the cradle, you must have one of the following:
AC adaptor and USB cable (both supplied with the PSP go system).
AC adaptor (supplied with the PSP-1000/2000/3000 series system).
USB cable (supplied with the PSP go system) — When the cradle is connected to a USB device such as a PC, the PSP go system can be charged while sending and receiving data to and from the PC.
Indeed, using an AV cable for the PSP go system (sold separately), video can be output to a TV when the PSP go system is attached to the Cradle. PSP go system sold seperately.
The Sony PSP Go Cradle sells for US $ 29.99 and is available now!
Sony’s new handheld device – PSP Go released date is October 1, 2009 and this new PSP Go price is around US $249: maybe one of the most awaited portable console of all time!
For giving Playstation portable fans an overall understanding of this Sony’s new product, after carefully analysing and shifting correlative collect data, I will share some Sony PSP Go features here.
As mentioned by Playstation.com, below is the best generalize of the new PSP Go’s key-features:
Go Bigger 16GB flash memory
Go Smaller The most portable PSP® ever
Go Digital The most immersive portable games, anytime, anywhere
Go Versatile Games, music, movies, internet and more
Go Anywhere Your content, fitting your lifestyle
Go Bigger
The PSP Go will feature no UMD drive, instead relying on its 16 gig internal memory drive so that gamers may directly download games onto the Go.
Go smaller
Well, there’s no doubt the Go is a desirable bit of kit. The sliding control panel, sharp screen and build quality are all impressive. Also the thumb stick on the Go is smaller, more accurate and generally more satisfying to use than the one on the standard PSP 3000. Plus the Go is far lighter to lug around than the 3000. Of course, you’d expect this being download only but it does make you more inclined to carry the thing around. It’s no iPhone/iPod Touch but it does at least fit more snugly in a pocket than the PSP 3000.
Go Digital
Those buying a PSP Go from October 1 will be able to download a free copy of Gran Turismo before the 10th.
Being a huge fan of Resistance: Fall of Man, I fired up Resistance Retribution, and gave the third person shooter an extended workout. Thanks to the Go’s crisp and screen, gameplay was smooth (even outdoors).
With a decent set of headphones audio was utterly solid and the Go’s sensible control layout and hand-friendly form-factor also meant that long bouts of gameplay caused little discomfort.
Go Versatile
Another killer PSP feature also present in the Go is PS3 integration. All existing interoperability between the PS3 and the PSP range is still supported which means that Remote Play can be used to access audio video and some game content from my PS3 wirelessly. Even better still I’m able to pair my wireless PS3 controller with the PSP for extra fine control.
Whilst some gadget blogs have criticised the PSP Go for being more of a PSP 1.5 rather than a PSP2, the PSP Go delivers a bunch of significant refinements to a portable platform that’s already pretty solid having sold tens of millions of units worldwide and is backed by an incredibly rich games ecosystem.
Go Anywhere
The Go’s more pocketable size and crispy bright TFT screen also makes it a smoking media machine. Boasting the same support for music, video, and photo files as with earlier PSPs, The formats supported by the Go read like a who’s who of digital media formats (MPEG-4, H.264, AAC, AVI, Motion JPEG, ATRAC, MP3, .Wav, WMA, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, GIF and last but by no means least PNG).
Sony has just announced its Granturismo PSP EntertainmentPack that will go to retail channels on October 20th for $199.99.
