PlayStation 2 Video Games - A Closer Look

PlayStation 2 video games were the bees-knees back before the arrival of the PlayStation 3 and the competitive Xbox 360. Now they're a much underrated relic of gaming history, and are put aside for the much more expensive PS3 and Xbox360 games. But who needs the extra graphics? Who needs the modern gaming? Anyone who knew the joy of PlayStation 2 in its day will easily play PS2 games and have just as much fun as on any newer console. So let us look at some of the best PS2 games, so that we can buy them at ridiculously cheap prices and smite the modern game developers.

The Final Fantasy games are eternal, evergreen, cult following games, and anyone who became hooked on them at their birth, or even later on the newer consoles, will no doubt still enjoy them just as much on a PlayStation 2. The last proper installment on PS2 was Final Fantasy XII. It was a huge advancement in graphics and playability, with nearly endless amounts of game-play time, and can be picked up for a meager price compared to the game time offered.

If you're a soccer fan, you will know that the game rules do not change all that often. And, not surprisingly, neither do the console versions of the game. The graphics can only go so far when rendering a field from above, and the controls are generally kept as they are. So, although new games are released every year, you would be better off simply sticking to a good old PlayStation 2 version. What's the difference?

But if these games don't grab your attention, look out for some of the other PS2 classics. There's Jak 3, for quirky, challenging and other worldly missions; Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, for a comprehensive experience of the Metal Gear experience; Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, that classic open world, sadistic game-play crammed with hundreds of missions in the unique and hilarious San Andreas environment; and, lastly, Burnout 3, for high-octane, unreal, speed-crazed fun that lasts all the way up until the caffeine in your system wears off.

To find PlayStation 2 video games you would be best off looking them up on Amazon, but, if you're eager to score a good deal, try bidding on Ebay, as there are tones of people looking to sell some of their old games and consoles. So, if you want a cheap, fun gaming experience, look no further than PlayStation 2 games.

PS2 Swap Magic - Play PS2 Import And Backup Games With The Swap Magic For PS2

Playing import games on your PlayStation 2 or new Slim PSTwo console was virtually impossible, considering that it required you to install a mod chip into your PS2 machine, something that not everyone is able to do, or is willing to do. A PS2 Mod Chip requires you to solder small wires to some pretty small solder points right on the main board (motherboard) of your PS2 Console. Playing import games was really for the hard core gamer, and the gamers that would be willing to do some internal surgery to their ps2 consoles.

The PS2 Swap Magic changed all of that. With the PS2 Swap Magic there is absolutely no need to solder anything or install any type of chip into your PS2 console. In fact, unlike mod chips for the PlayStation 2, with the PS2 Swap Magic you'll be ready to play your import game in just seconds. By using the PS2 Swap Magic and a PS2 Cover, you'll instantly be able to play your import and backup PlayStation 2 games without any hassles or fuss.

The PS2 Swap Magic Disc acts as a loader for all of your import and personal backup games. You'll first load up the PS2 Swap Magic disc, and when greeted with the main menu, you will select LOAD PROGRAM and press your X button. At which time, you have to remove and take out the PS2 Swap Magic disc and insert the game disc you wish to load. Unlike a mod chip, where once installed, you just put in the game disc you want to play, the latest import or backup game and power up your PS2 console to start playing. You will have to do what's called a single swap with the PS2 Swap Magic discs. What this means is that you'll simply put in the PS2 Swap Magic Disc first, before your game, and then swap it out after the Swap magic for PS2 has loaded.

While heavy mod chip users consider this annoying, for people like myself, who would prefer not to solder and perform electronics surgery, it's a very small price to pay for being able to play those really cool Japanese and European games. With the newest versions, there are also some added benefits over mod chips, such as loading homebrew applications and software directly from your ps2 memory card. Something that mod chips simply do not allow you to do, unless you buy the high end mod chips like the DMS4, etc... which require even more wires to be soldered.

The features of the PS2 Swap Magic speak for themselves, and clearly indicate that the need for a ps2 mod chip is eliminated completely and there is absolutely no modification required to your ps2 console in order to play your import and backup games with ease.

PS2 Swap Magic - Feature List:

There is no warranty to void

Works with original import games

No modchip for the games to detect

No modification to the internal system

No extra stress on the laser lens

No soldering required - plug and play

Swap Magic 3 CD Version For PS2 CD-R backups Included

Swap Magic DVD Version For PS2 DVD-R backups Included

Multi-Language menu: English, Chinese, Spanish, German, Italian, Korea

Compatable with DVDRips (632mb+ CD-R backups) via TOC Refresh feature*

Includes built-in PAL/NTSC region selector

Games start with the single swap method detailed below

What is important to note is that when you buy the PS2 Swap Magic, you'll actually get 2 individual discs. Don't worry, and don't be confused. One is clearly marked as a CD-Rom disc, which the other Swap Magic disc is the DVD Disc. You'll need both discs, depending on what type of game you are trying to load. The PS2 Swap Magic CD Version is needed for CD based games (yes, some PS2 games - even your personal backup games you may have made) actually fit on a CD-Rom disc, in which case, you will need to use the PS2 Swap Magic CD Disc to load the game. Most games, especially newer ones however require the use of the PS2 Swap Magic DVD Disc. It's really not very hard at all to determine which type of game disc you have, simply because you can look at the disc itself and it should have either the CD-Rom or the DVD logo on the game disc, or blank disc media on which you saved your backup copy.

The PS2 Swap Magic offers gamers an opportunity to play their import and backup games, without the need to install a Playstation 2 mod chip. This makes import games and import gaming much more accessable to people who do not have the technical know-how to install a mod chips in their PS2. The PS2 Swap Magic allows you to do everything a mod chip does, with just one swap. Find out more at http://www.ps2cover.com/slidecardsm3.shtml

BloodRayne Review for the Playstation 2 (PS2), XBox, and Nintendo Gamecube

BloodRayne is seductively different from other games. The character of this game, Rayne, has been dressed very provocatively and has a body that would turn heads, but that is not what makes this game special. Many games have women that wear revealing clothing. What gives this character and this game a more sexual feel is that she is part vampire. Vampires have often been portrayed in a sexual light due to the intimacy shared between the vampire and the victim during feeding. This game incorporates a sexually charged female character as the heroine and gives it a sort of horror movie feel with all of the creatures that Rayne has to fight. Any woman who can kick butt while wearing next to nothing makes a great video game character.

BoodRayne is about a sexy half-human half-vampire who is working to rid the world of supernatural activity caused by black magic. She was recruited by and takes orders from a secret agency. Throughout the game Agent Rayne makes contact with this agency to update them on her progress and to receive new orders. Since Agent Rayne is only a half-vampire she does not share all the same weaknesses that full vampires do, however she still must be careful around water and sunlight. This is especially tricky in the first part of the game that is set in the Louisiana swamps.

Agent Rayne is sent to the Louisiana swamps in the 1930's to kill Zombies and giant-spiders. Her goal is to rid the swamp of all the giant-spider's nests so that there will be no more reproduction of this abomination. This part of the game drags a little bit, but if you can just hang in there the action picks up in the next area that she is sent to.

Five years after the Louisiana mission is finished Agent Rayne receives new orders from the agency to take out the Nazis because of the work that they are doing with black magic. Her goal is to find the laboratory where these experiments are taking place and to put a stop to it. This area is a lot of fun to play because Agent Rayne runs into some really creepy monsters.

Agent Rayne gains many abilities as the game progresses which adds a lot of flavor to the gameplay. She can see enemies through walls and is guided by a red light to her targets. This helps with navigation through tricky areas that are easy to get lost in. Agent Rayne can also move super fast in order to dodge bullets that are coming at her. This move works great when there are a dozen enemies shooting at you all at once. Then there is the blood rage that increases while she is kicking butt. This bar will fill up so that you can use your supper attack that increases the amount of damage that she inflicts on the enemy.

Personally, my favorite part of the game is that Agent Rayne can feed off of any of her enemies; when she feeds her life increases and the life of the enemy decreases. Jumping on an enemy and feeding when there is a lot of gunfir works great because you can use the person as a shield from the bullets. While agent Rayne is feeding she makes very sexy moaning noises that let you know just how much she is enjoying it.

Agent Rayne comes equipped with knives and swords to kill the enemies; the attacks with these swords can be really grisly. She can slash her victim to death, decapitate them, or even impel them; all are equally bloody. The blood splatters all over the walls, all over the floors, basically everywhere and they remain there even after you leave the area which helps you to know whether you have already been to that area. Agent Rayne can also pick up stray guns. These are very easy to use since all you have to do is lock on and shoot. The guns come in handy when you are sorely outnumbered.

The graphics are decent; each one of the new areas that she goes in are equally interesting and look very realistic. The camera on the other hand can get stuck sometimes and usually the only way to fix it is to reset the game. The player can interact with almost anything in the game, for instance a desk can be smashed, items knocked over, and curtains can be torn which makes a very realistic tearing sound.

This game is quite long, but on the up-side the game is relatively easy so flying through it should be a breeze. One thing to keep in mind is that it starts out rather slow and boring, but the farther into the game you get the more interesting it becomes. I would recommend giving it a try if you have the time to devote to playing it.

PlayStation 3 Video Game Review

The PlayStation3 video game is the newest gaming console on the market. Video game consoles are expensive, determining which game console to buy is a big decision.

PlayStation 3 video game, Microsoft Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Wii are the top three video gaming consoles on today's market. The consoles are pricey and some are hard to find. So, before purchasing any of the game consoles, be sure to do your video game research.

COMPARING THE MICROSOFT XBOX 360, NINTENDO WII, AND PLAYSTATION 3 VIDEO GAMES:

MICROSOFT XBOX 360:
The Xbox 360 is the most popular of the top three on the market. It can play the classic and most of the popular games available. The newly introduced the Microsoft Interface Experience has just been released. It's easy to change the appearance of your console by using the Faces 360. With the Xbox Live, you can play with anyone, anytime, and anywhere.

The Xbox 360 has high-definition graphics that redesign what games look, sound, and feel like. However, accessories must be purchased to take full advantage of the it, with increases the cost of the Xbox 360.

It comes with 512MG GDDR3 Ram and 700 MHz DDR of memory and supports up to 4 wireless game controllers. The PlayStation 3 has input/output of 3 USB 2.0 ports, and 2 memory unit slots, and instant out-of-the box access to Xbox Live with a price range of $299 to $399.

The bad news is the console is noisy when running, and a monthly gaming subscription is required.

NINTENDO Wii:
The Nintendo Wii is the most popular gaming console, but also the hardest to find. If you can't locate an individual console, you might want to take advantage of a Wii bundle. The Wii is family-friendly and offers something for most everyone, like the Wii Fit with a balance board, and a Mario card. The graphics are not High Definition, and seem to be more cartoon-like, but the system is great for multiple players of all ages.

It has a sleek look and compact size (8.5" x 6" x 2"), and a disc driver that supports a single or dual layer optical disc, and is backwards compatible.

The main advantage is the Wii controller. There is no learning curve; all the player needs to do is point and swing the controller to get the desired game movement or action. The controller is precise and movements are natural.

The Wii comes equipped with a CMOS processor capable of 729,000 cycles per second, an ATI Hollywood GPU that works at about 249,000 Hz, 88MB RAM, 512MB flash memory, SD card slot, and an internal speaker. It has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi WLAN, and USB LAN-connectivity. An individual Wii console can be found for abour $200.00. Each Wii Bundle is different, and allows you to choose which programs and what accessories best suit your needs. Bundle prices range from $189.99 - $649.99.

SONY PLAYSTATION 3:
The PlayStation 3 video games are the only High-Definition and Blue-Ray player on the market. Not only does it play High-Definition movies, it updates standard DVD's. It's offers a stylish design, but the black glossy finish is a fingerprint magnet. The graphics are awesome, and offers free on-line play. You can create your own avatar and play online with other PlayStation 3 video game users. However, the online gaming, media, and commerce options are not as developed as the Xbox Live.

The PlayStation 3 video game has a built-in Wi-Fi and flash player media reader The console operates quietly, and has backwards compatibility that is hard-wire based. It does not have an external power supply, but does have a 60MG hard drive. PlayStation 3 does not have an infra-red port, and will not be compatible with non-Bluetooth universal remotes.

The PlayStation 3 video game is hard to find, and has a price range of $399.99. But, it also plays PlayStation1 and PlayStation2 video games, making it a worthwhile alternative to the cheaper model. And, if backwards computability is a top priority, this hard-to-find model might be worth the search.

Playstation 2 Video Games - Top 3 Games For Children

How many times has your children come home from school talking about a new video game he/she heard about from their friends? We are in a generation where things like Playstation 2 video games have never been bigger, but where do you draw the line? When do you tell your kids, "No, you can't play that game." It's a hard decision to make, especially when they are influenced in school by others.

It makes it even harder on us to give you reviews because different ages constitute certain games that can be tolerated. Think of it as taking your kids to the movies. If they are 5-10 years old are you going to take them to see a rated R movie? Most likely not, and the same discipline should be set for Playstation 2 video games.

So we decided to give you some of the top Playstation 2 video games in each category so you can get better control on your children's games at home. Some even go as far as sitting down and talking with their kids about the situation. It is a good idea, especially if they go to a friends house, where the availability of inappropriate games for their age can be played.

For those of you who are new to Playstation 2 video games, they have ratings for each game with a letter on the box. E is for Everyone, T is for Teen, and M is for Mature. Common sense will show you what is and what isn't appropriate for your children's ages. However, the categories here make it a little easier.

The E rated games doesn't just mean they are Sponge Bob Square Pants Playstation 2 video games or Dora the Explorer. It could mean Madden 08' or any other sports games. The best for the age appropriate games are those that go from the movie screen to your game consoles. Ones like Madagascar, Cars, Meet the Robinsons, and other movies where adults have already seen the outcomes.

T for Teen movies revolve games that have a little more graphic details like WWE Smackdown vs. RAW where hurting someone else, and less clothing is more evident. Then things where death comes into play, without the graphic gore. Games like the Final Fantasy collection that takes months to complete, but magic and sword fighting is required to reach the end of the game.

M for Mature are those games that only adults can really understand with a lot more gore and sexual narratives. The killing is graphic in games like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas where shooting police officers and picking up prostitutes is the way the game is played. Other popular games like Metal Gear and the God of War series are also rated M for the way people are killed and the overall strategy of the game.

Hopefully, now you realize that finding Playstation 2 video games suitable for your children depends on several factors. How old they are and what you want them to be able to view are the most important aspects of purchasing video games for them. It may not completely fix an ongoing issue of children playing inappropriate games, but you have to start somewhere to try to control it.
