Which gaming console should you buy?


Which console to buy has becoming increasingly more complex? It's now not simply a case of picking the one with the top games or the next generation console/upgrade of the one you already have. The main consoles to choose from are the PSP3, Wii and the Xbox 360.

If you read my Wii review it describes this console as the most ground breaking when it was first released changing the course of gaming for years to come and spawned the newer controllers from its competitors. Since this original review Nintedo have improved its original Wii Remote, with the MotionPlus for an improved/increased accuracy. The Wii is great value if the type of games and controller appeal to you, a very good alternative to the other power-strong consoles.

If high grade graphics is what you're after, you should be looking at the Xbox 360 or the PS3. The PS3 specification boasts the best console graphically and is free to play online. The unit also doubles as a Blu-ray player and the PlayStation Move controller gives a wireless experience similar, if not better than the Wii MotionPlus.

The Xbox 360, on the other hand have a system called Xbox Live for online use, which does unfortunately come at a cost financially (but it is very reputable). The most interesting feature is its newest form of its controller, which is something a little different called 'Kinect', a controller less system that allows the users' body movements and speech to directly interact with games, like spinning a roulette wheel in a casino. A highly ambitious project leaving us in intense anticipation of its final results.

An in depth comparison can be seen in my console comparison review.

HTC-HTC 7 Trophy

Windows phone 7 is available on a number of smartpones-some of them, like the HTC 7 Trophy, exclusive to a single network. In the event of a Trophy that is Vodafone network, which is where our review sample came from. We should note, however, that you can also get HTC 7 Trophy SIM-free, around £ 400 inc VAT.

Don't be fooled into believing that HTC 7 Trophy relatively low contract price-it is available for free with Vodafone tariffs over £ 25 a month-means it has under-featured. Its 1 GHz processor and 8 GB of built-in storage, you must put it on an equal footing with most of the other Windows phone 7 devices that are currently available.

The phone offers improved 3 G, HDSPA connection support downloads at up to 2Mbps and transfers to 7.2Mbps. Running Wi-Fi 802.11 b, g and n. GPS and Bluetooth is both current and Bing Maps gives you access to the route calculation services. As smartphones go, it is all here, really.

You cannot extend on håndsættets built in memory, but no Windows phone 7 Smartphone, then lets you do. And the main-Screen start laid down in its appearance with Microsoft. You can snap tiles that can display information (such as an alarm), link with data (e.g. a place, which is stored in the Bing map) or to take you to the apps or hubs (including the entire collections such as media or messaging). This flexibility, which we would like to be replicated across all Windows phone 7 smartphones.

HTC has attempted to differentiate the Trophy from the rest of the Windows 7 pack in a number of ways. The most obvious is its inclusion of SRS and Dolby Mobile to improve the quality of the sound output. This makes for pretty good quality of sound and you can create separate settings for music and video, so you can get the best from both types of multimedia.

There is a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, and mandatory high-end capacity with shooting 720 p video. The camera is acceptable, rather than wonderful, but it shares the ability for other Windows phone 7 device must be run from the ' locked ' mode via a single press of the button camera page.

One big downside of Windows phone 7 is the absence of any desktop sync for contacts and calendar. The Zune desktop software synchronises music, photos and podcasts, but not the calendar, and contacts, which are to be synchronized over the air. You must use a live account, and get 25 GB of Web storage, automatic uploading of photos and more-but these are no replacement for desktop Outlook sync. We can not believe that Microsoft does not include this feature in the expected software update, due in early 2011.

In everyday use, HTC 7 Trophy features well. Its major release 3-inch screen has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. When web browsing, the pain to the zoom function is very useful, and the on screen keyboard is very responsive to type out text messages and mobile e-mail. The processor has coped with everything we threw at it, and the software market has begun to bulk edit out nicely with programs.

We are not yet convinced that Windows phone 7 has what it takes to get an edge on Android, iOS and RIMS BlackBerry operating system. But Microsoft intended are working hard on it and HTC 7 Trophy displays the to good effect.
