A great new DSI game- Solatorobo!

What is Solatorobo? Well it's likely you've never heard of it, as it is a very new DSi game. Many might not buy it because of it coming so late in the DSi's time in the spotlight, and notice the 3DS and it's games instead.

In my opinion if your reading this, you should try out Solatorobo, you'll be impressed.

The game itself is very creative, and though not very challenging, still a fun game with an intriguing storyline. Nintendo Power gave it a 9,0, while IGN gave it a 8.0 you can read the IGN review by clicking the link below.

So yeah, you might just want to take my advice. Even if you don't like it though, gaze at the amazing graphics. :)

New games to old games- Pixels to Polygons

Hey Spyagent. Today I'm posting on the evolution of games, focusing in on The Legend of Zelda games for example.

Before games heated up, it was stuff like DK in arcades and Galaga, Pacman, etc. After sometime, things got serious with companies like Nintendo, along with Sega. (which isn't featured much on this post, since I'm more familiar with Nintendo)

The Pixel Era
8-bit Generation

In the 8-bit era, the NES ruled, with games like Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda coming into focus. This is where games could be the hardest, and where they hit a great beginning.

  
16-bit Generation

In this generation, things evolved more. I believe many new systems came out, like the SUPER NES. I would come to think things got past 16-bit with the first Gameboy, yet I'm not sure.

I would believe games got more detailed, and strategy along with the world of a game expanded.

Pixel-Polygon Era
Gameboys and N64s.

Around this time, the Gameboy was expanding the variety with pixels. But the Nintendo 64 came into picture, bringing us our first ever polygonal games, along with new vast worlds, and some of our most beloved games.

 
Polygon Era
 Things got real with the Gamecube, Wii, and other systems.


Now the Gamecube and other systems arrived, then, finally the Wii. Things were now real, with the DS coming out as well.


Pics wouldn't load

Hopefully now it makes sense. :)

Can other companies compete with Apple?

Hello Spyagent. Today I'll be posting on the big question- Can other companies compete with Apple?

Apple is currently ahead of the game from the looks of it, and it seems like that will continue for a good amount of time seeing that Steve Jobs planned ahead. Yet, can Apple always keep the lead, and do other companies like Samsung have a chance?

 In my opinion, they do. Even though Apple has a good lead on things, and it'll probably stay that way, companies like Samsung, etc. know how to change it up a little.

Whether or not one will pull ahead of the other is undetermined. If Apple starts to dwindle, I can see a quick change as this happen quickly. Then again, if Apple keeps it up they can stay on top.

In my opinion, we should see how it plays out. I just figured I would let people think about this.

The Death of Steve Jobs- Could this affect Apple and our age of technology?

Hey everyone! Sorry for my absence, real life matters. Anyhow, Steve Jobs died recently, which is very sad. He changed the way we look at technology, and helped bring us to a more modern age of electronics and portable devices, etc.

People should honor Jobs and his hard work, as it revolutionized Apple and the world, from the best portable music players, to Iphones, to Ipads, to computers, Jobs what you could call the genius behind it.

Not only that, but Steve Jobs had a good respect for the people around him too. I've seen a few articles, etc. and he seems like he was a very good guy. Hopefully we can all learn from Jobs and remember- He started as a normal person, and revolutionized how we live today.

Can this affect Apple...?

Probably, but not at the moment. Jobs looked over and worked with everything out right now basically. A long line of devices related to what he's made should probably follow, but what about in the next 5-7 years? Will Apple still be just as inventive? This could also affect us too, seeing that it could change the technology we're using.

An example of how the technology we use now is influenced by Jobs...

Let's think, oh yeah! The things you can scan to get information on it on your Iphone! I saw them popping up, and now their EVERYWHERE! I come from a small town, so its a surprise to see this all over, but then again no town is small enough to not have a good amount of tech these days. Yet, still.

Steve Jobs changed how we live, so we'll see how things play out.

Video Game remakes- What's the big deal?

Hey Spyagent readers (whoever that possible one person is reading this). Today I'm here to talk about video game remakes. "What's the big deal???" Some of us might say.

The big deal is that people were diehard to get their hands on things like the first games for the N64, or even games for consoles like the Gamecube. Seeing games with polygonal graphics, graphics that would change the gaming industry, amazed people who were used to an 8-bit or 16-bit graphic machine such as the NES or Super NES. Lately, games that started this new industry are back to revolutionize things like the Nintendo 3DS.

Lately, a few games have been getting remade, and more look to come, along with impressive followups on games. One that went off with a bang, getting a 9.0 rating in Nintendo Power Magazine, is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.



As you can see, the revolutionary 3D-effects and amazing graphics of today have changed the outlook of an all-time favorite some will never forget. Another game is Startfox 64 3D, which has made a huge leap. Not only were the graphics back then very basic, but they were even more basic when it came to flying through space. Now, things are much more amazing.


I hope you enjoyed this post, old games are coming back to compete.

The Wii U: What exactly is it?

Hey guys. Today I'm posting about the Wii U. It's coming out soon from Nintendo, and it looks like it'll be wicked. Following games like Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and others, the Wii U should do great things for the Wii.

 On the Wii U you can play games on your own, and interact with the television. Sort of like something where you can slide an item on a touch screen to a television I believe. Cool, huh?

Sort of like a DS, DSI, or 3DS, but a bit bigger with some epic features.

What are you waiting for, keep up with info on the Wii U! It'll be a hit.
