The Xbox 360: A Console Without Compromise
Following the success of the original Xbox, Microsoft`s sequel has taken gaming to a new level. Its predecessor may have revolutionized the gaming experience, but this model is a different animal altogether; it allows users to combine the graphics and gameplay of a specialist console with the interactive functionality of a desktop computer, and has become an indispensable media player as well as a wonderful gaming tool.
Why is it so popular?
Unlike other consoles, which are purely and simply devoted to gaming, the Xbox 360 is an all-singing, all-dancing utility player that offers something to everyone. Users can download films, TV shows and trailers, so mum and dad can use the 360 in lieu of a DVD player, while the kids play Halo and Call of Duty. Teenagers can access Facebook via Xbox Live, and log on to their favourite tunes via Last FM; indeed it doesn`t matter how old or techno-savvy you are, there`s a reason to buy an Xbox 360.
But, above all, the 360`s popularity is down to the quality of gaming it provides. Users can download the latest arcade games and demos, and battle other players online via wireless headsets. In keeping with its range of uses and functions, the 360 comes with a range of add-ons and extras; these include wired and wireless controllers, faceplates, webcams, dance mats and stylized hard drives, so users can customize their console to their hearts` content.
The history of the 360
When you`re planning something as big as the Xbox 360, you usually try and keep it a secret. Not Microsoft; they wanted the world to know what they were doing, building a tornado of hype which would sweep away their competitors.
During the two-year design program which preceded the launch of the Xbox 360, Microsoft held a publicity meeting for 400 developers; threw a huge press conference to announce the appointment of ATI as graphics processing designer; and recruited Peter Moore, a former president of Sega. Microsoft execs were brimming with excitement about their latest project, and they wanted the world to know. Finally, after two years of rumor, conjecture and sneak previews, the 360 was launched in the winter of 2005.
The new console was first made available in two principal variants, the Xbox 360 Core and the Xbox 360 Pro. In April 2007 Microsoft unveiled a third model, the elite; six months later it replaced the Core with the Arcade. Earlier this year it was announced that the Pro was to be phased out.
Innovation and future development
The Elite and Arcade models have been augmented with short-term releases to celebrate the launch of high-profile games and movies. Microsoft has rolled out special edition 360s for Halo 3, Resident Evil and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and even unveiled a novelty yellow model for the launch of the Simpons Movie in 2007.
And, as if that weren`t enough, Microsoft is preparing to add another dimension to the Xbox offering. A New Xbox 360 is likely to be rolled out in the next few months, complete controller-free gaming and entertainment technology. Developed under Project Natal, this incredible add-on will allow users to control and interact with the Xbox without a game controller, using only gestures and spoken commands to control their avatars.
The development of the 360 shows just how far the console industry has come; whereas we were once wowed by the basic graphics of a Megadrive or Master System, now we expect our consoles to offer lifelike image quality, wireless connection with the rest of the world and a host of gadgets, gimmicks and decorations. But the pace of innovation is showing no sign of slowing; expect Microsoft to bring out a host of further updates for the 360 in the years ahead.

Alone in the Dark Series: Alone in the Dark, Alone in the Dark: the New Nightmare, Alone in the Dark 2, Alone in the Dark 3 $10 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: June 20, 2008 June 23, 2008 June 26, 2008PlayStation 3 November 18, 2008 November 21, 2008 December 11, 2008 Alone in the Dark, originally known as Alone in the Dark: Near Death Investigation and informally known as Alone in the Dark 5 to avoid naming confusion, is the fifth installment of the survival horror video game series under the same name created by Atari. Later, an upgraded edition with new scenes and gameplay elements, titled Alone in the Dark: Inferno, was released for PS3. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, Wii, and Xbox 360 in Europe, North America, and Australia in June 2008. The PlayStation 3 version, titled Alone in the Dark: Inferno, was released on November 18, 2008 and includes several enhancements from the other versions. The Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions are developed by Eden Games while the PS2 and Wii versions were simultaneously developed by Hydravision Entertainment. The PS2 and Wii version of Alone in the Dark is a completely different game from the PS3/Xbox 360 version. Though both have a vaguely similar plot, it has largely different levels, removing all the freeroaming from the other versions. The gameplay in Alone In The Dark differs greatly from other games in the series. It is set out through DVD-style ‘episodes’, where the player can choose to start the game from the beginning, or choose to skip to a section if they get stuck. If they choose to do so, the past events are recollected in a “Previously on Alone In The Dark…” cutscene at the start of the episode. Alone In The Dark has an interchangeable first and third person camera, and puzzle solving style gameplay. The player can switch to first-person view if they choose to. The environment plays a big part of core g… More: |

DanceMasters $29.99 The Kinect’s second dance title features two-player simultaneous action, multiple play modes, and an assortment of original songs to groove to. Standing in front of the Kinect, you’ll attempt to move your hands and feet to the beat while using your body to perform various poses. Four difficulty settings determine how much activity you’ll need to do to complete each of the 30 songs, but for those still having trouble, a lesson mode is included to help you with the core play mechanics. You can also record and save your dance moves and assign them to a backup dancer, or take a picture of a pose to store in a local photo album or to share with friends. Up to four players can compete online via Xbox Live, or you can strut your stuff with a friend or family member to see who can rack up the highest score. Expand the game’s dance sequences and music selections with optional downloadable content. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide |

Race for a New Game Machine: Creating the Chips Inside the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 $18 The Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 game systems have changed the face of home entertainment. But few know the amazing story inside the consoles-how David Shippy and his team of top-notch engineers at the Sony/Toshiba/IBM Design Center (STI) forged the tiny miracle at the core of it all: a revolutionary microprocessor chip that set a new paradigm in personal computing. It’s a thrilling, all-or-nothing race to deliver the industry’s fastest chip in record time. At stake were the livelihoods-and sanity-of an unsung group of tireless visionaries. At war were the giants Microsoft and Sony.The tough road to market started in 2001 when Shippy assembled the talent to design the chip for Sony’s hotly anticipated PlayStation 3 game console, planned for a late 2005 release. In 2003, a gigantic wrench was thrown into the operation in the form of Microsoft-the software behemoth wanted the STI team’s microprocessor for its own Xbox 360 and targeted Christmas, 2005, as well. As they desperately served two masters, balancing Microsoft’s “victory or death” attitude and Sony’s slow patience and caution, Shippy and his team endured 80-hour workweeks, flaring tempers, crumbled friendships, despair, and finally-triumph.The Soul of a New Game Machine is a dazzling, behind-the-scenes account of life in the tech world, featuring memorable characters, high-level corporate intrigue, and cutthroat business dealings. Driving the technical accomplishment was the bold vision that inspired the designers at STI, and throughout the book David Shippy and Mickie Phipps reveal the leadership lessons they drew from this experience, including team motivation, fostering innovation, and demanding hard work whileencouraging fun. |
