The Nintendo DSi XL

DSi XL is the latest handled gaming console in the world of DS series of Nintendo, it is came from with pre-loaded three DSiWare titles, including: Brain Age Express: Math, Brain Age Express: Arts & letters and Photo Clock. If we talk about the specifications it is nearly identical from the previous Nintendo DSi, except for the other changes.

The 4.2-inch diagonal viewing angle screens that are 93% larger than those of the DS Lite, the increased sized of the DSi screen does a fantastic move, the sharpness, brightness and clearness of the screen. Which is more useful and helpful to the text based games like Scribblenauts with the use of improved and easy to hold stylus pen.

The most interactive part of the DSi XL systems are the two on-board digital cameras, one is located at the upper right corner of the upper screen pointing away from the user, the second one is pointing at the user when the device is flipped open and in between of the two LCD.

The DSi XL features the Nintendo DSi Sound application, which serves as both an interactive voice recorder and music player that allows users to play with their music while they listen to it. Users can access different audio filters or control the pitch and speed of recorded voice or music files to alter voices or change the tempo of a song. The DSi XL microphone is located between the two screens when the device is flipped open.

The DSi Xl came with a WiFi connection, you can go online anytime, anywhere in the malls, bars, restaurants, hotels etc with WiFi connections and with the use of Nintendo DSi Browser. You can download games through Nintendo DSi Shops, can use as an eBook reader, play with your friend via DS Download Play.

For me it is much better than the previous DS, it gives great functionality, increased viewing pleasure and further accessibility.

The laptop is an innovative way for your children to learn alphabets. This laptop has features that help your children easily recognize and pronounce alphabets. Your children can also learn to write both capital and small letters. The laptop will speak out the letter that the child will have to type from the keyboard. Thus this innovative method will call for action by the kids.

If you think that the laptop is a very basic one that has the ability only to teach alphabets then wait? This piece of innovation is also capable of teaching your little ones some words. It teaches your child spellings, pronunciations. And at the end it also has spelling tests to cross check how well a teacher it was.

What’s New On ThumbGods

Here’s the year in review on sister blog ThumbGods.com:

In 2009, I reviewed indie games like Funky Farm 2, A Case Of The Crabs, Rotoadventures Momo’sQuest, Slayer of Dragon,  Democracy 2,  Electric Box,  Faerie Solitaire, and CyberWord. I plan to keep focusing on creative, indie games next year. I also played major mainstream titles, like Cartoon Network’s new MMO Fusionfall, and James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club:  Games of Passion for the DS. ThumbGods reviewed the match-3 Atlantis, Totem Tribe, National Geographic’s Mystery of Cleopatra, Tales of Monkey Island: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal, Sims 2 on the DS, and Nancy Drew Dossier: Resorting To Danger! Major misses  this year were  My Boyfriend,  Create-a-Mall,  the disappointing Build-a-lot 3, and Jack in Lost in Blue 2. (Not all of LiB2. Just Jack.)

I tried to branch out a bit from reviews, and started writing some hints, including a guide to solving MyTribe mysteries and hints for Nancy Drew Dossier: Resorting To Danger! I’ll probably keep doing this whenever I’m really proud of solving a puzzle and want to help out.

Xbox 360

As a video game system, this is clearly an incredible piece of hardware. Having been a die-hard Sony customer for well over a decade, I wasn’t such a fan of the Xbox when microsoft first introduced it as competition to the Sony Playstation 2. Then came the next generation battle. Sony came out with the Playstation 3 console and Microsoft followed right up with the Xbox 360. These releases marked the balance of power shifting away from Sony. Prior to the next generation releases from Sony and Microsoft, Sony had always held its own as the system with better game selection and better user-friendly features. When Xbox 360 was released it was clear that game developers were favoring Microsoft. I myself preferred the Xbox 360 just because of it’s lower priced models and its lighter hardware. Now that the two have been out for a few years, the Xbox has become a multimedia powerhouse, allowing users to run their entire home entertainment system through it, much like a computer. While Sony has many of the same capabilities, Microsoft has been making computers for decades, and clearly has the most user-friendly system hardware out there.

Future Games

With the current competition between Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360 and Nintendo WII it is no wonder we as consumer are experiencing the best in videogame entertainment to date. From High Definition graphics, Wireless Controllers, online competition to motion controllers, the games are really at their best. Now we are beginning to think we have seen it all now comes the future of gaming. Some reports are coming that they are coming out with HDTV glasses, it will totally revolutionize mobile gaming. You can play video games on the go. Next is they are planning to scrap video game consoles, a company will be unveiling that games must be played in any personal computers or just on a television without the console. It will use the internet for storing and playing of games. Video games manufacturer are actually loving the idea of cutting out the middleman which is the consoles so that they can directly go to the consumers. Next is the one that will replace the wireless controller and the motion controller with the mind controller or no controller. They will use the human brain waves to depict the movement of the player on the screen, this will be the most mind boggling news to date. Think of the excitement of playing fighting game or sports games with your player imitating whatever comes to mind.
