Tiger Woods 07: Exclusive ReView

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

So recently I haven’t really played too many video games.   However, I have been playing Tiger Woods 07 off and on.   It is a pretty fun game and the realism has greatly improved over previous releases of the game.   The fun factor of the game is great.   With the added realism, the game has became a little harder.   It takes a bit more of a learning curve but is still easy to adapt to after a short time.

This game is a game you will want to play over and over again, not throwing it away after a few plays.   The only complaint I have is that at some points the camera angle is really bad for chipping.   At any other type of shot it isn’t a problem and it is only sometimes at chipping.   I am not sure it is purposeful as the shot is more like a cinematic shot.   The game is great and I really recommend if you have any interest in the game that you surely check it out for yourself.    It is available for Xbox, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii.

New 4th Gen. Apple iMac: Exclusive Pre-View

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

iMac desktop

  So the new Apple iMac has been released.   It has been much awaited by many and everyone is excited to see what the 4th generation will hold.

First things to note about it, is that it has new keyboard.   The new keyboard is very thin (which is awesome), and greatly designed.   However, there are a couple of complaints with its design.   The keys are flat, which make it hard to find the edges of the keys.   Also, with this new keyboard they moved the locations of function keys.  Most notably the volume control has moved and this may dissapoint those who currently have other macs.

The astetic design of the iMac is very pleasing to the eye.   It is almost as if they were planning the iMac to be a table decoration as opposed to a very powerful computer.   One problem with the design; they haven’t replaced the single button mouse.   Luckily you are able to use just about any mouse with your new system.

What about performance?   We have all known the Mac family to  be excellent performers.    The new system is no exception, they pack an Intel Core 2 Duo processor into it along with a full size hard drive.   It is amazing how much power and quality components they can cram into that thin monitor.   The system boots in a mere 26 seconds, pretty impressive.   Quality and power we have come to expect from the Macbook Pro and Mac Pro in a unique small form factor desktop.   The system is much cheaper than its brothers carrying the Pro name.

So you now have the option of a Mac which has the power of its older brothers and a lower price.   What is not to love about this new system.   Definately something worth checking out if you are in the market for a new desktop.

Sony Playstation 3 becoming a TIVO?: Exclusive PreView

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

So rumor has it that Sony is going to give the PS3 features of a Tivo. Sony is hurting pretty bad currently with the PS3. The fact they are losing money on every system is not getting turned around too fast. Their thought is to expand the audience of the PS3. If the PS3 does more things maybe it will be even more attractive to more people. Will Sony benefit from this move? Should they stick with gaming? Who knows yet, only time will tell. At least all of you Playstation owners will with the talk of adding all kinds of new features. Comment and tell what your thoughts are on the potential of new PS3 features.
