Let's Know About : SONY

December 28th, 2008 admin 2 comments

I have to say that I’m a big fan of video games, since i was a child and maybe like all the 80’s 90’s children i have been obsessed by the world of video games :)

and maybe the best day i remember from this era, is the day my mom bought me a PlayStation , ooooh my gosh , i cried from joy , i also cried once i found that a had to change the whole TV set to make it work :D

And as I’m a big fan of Sony’s products , I’ve decided to talk a bit about the company that could make all this possible  and that completely changed the world of video games to make it more realistic and more …. funny :)


so let’s know about Sony :

so as we all know Sony is a multinational  corporation and one of the world’s largest media companies with revenue exceeding US$88.7 (as of 2008). wooow that’s what i call money , you see how much Japaneses make from video game industry :D

Sony’s name origin is coming from the word  Sonus, referring to the Greek goddess of sound. Sony is leading in all the fields related to electronics, video, communications, video game consoles, and information technology
since early 70’s Sony started it’s path to the top , first by launching the trinitron technology for TVs , which is still produced for counties like India.

During 80’s maybe Sony introduced a product that has changed the world of music and all the business related to it,it’s the Walkman , the world’s first portable music player.
But videocassettes were soon abandoned after the launch by Sony and Phillips of the compact disc ( CD ), an invention that was about to change everything in the world of data .
Other main products of Sony where the disc man , mini disc and many well known products in the world of TVs
but Sony’s product i like the most is of course the PlayStation , the first version was launched in 1994 , and was like we all know a HIT , then came the PlayStation 2 in 2000 .
Recently Sony has launched the PlayStation 3 , a video game console using the hd-DVD technology which was invented by whom ? guess ? :D yess Sony
As you have seen , Sony has done a lot the the world of technology , and if it’s in the top of the companies working in this field, it’s not a pure hazard, but a result of decades of hardworking and perseverance :)

Let's Know About : PLAYSTATION HOME

December 11th, 2008 admin 3 comments

all of us , or maybe the majority , excluding computer-phoebes , have for sure heard about second life  , an online virtual life where every thing can be sold and bought , where you can meet people, and even for some people do what ever they can’t do in their own life :D

playstation has decided to launch it’s own virtual world so all playstation 3 owners can be connected ,and also experience a new 3d virtual world .

one of the main advantage of playstation home ( this is how it’s called ) is that it’s in full HD which means that it will be more realistic than in second life , in addition to that Gamers will be able to use USB keyboards or Bluetooth to talk and interact with others, but maybe the main and essential point is that playstation home will be free ( of course you must have the PS3 to use it ).

only companies that would like to advertise their products on PS home would have to pay fees so they can promote and sell their products to potential buyers ( you :D ).

I’m really exited to try this virtual world especially after videos I’ve seen on the net about it, it not only realistic , it’s simply astonishing

Let's Know About: GUITAR HERO III

November 17th, 2008 admin No comments

Well first , and before starting , I’d like to specify , that once you’re playing this game , even if you feel being a guitar hero :) actually you’re not !!!!!

okeey i know you have really good scores in this games, but ?? if i give you a real guitar , would you do the same :)

the fist time i played this game i said : eeeuh okey this is kind of funny but i prefer to play on my ” ernie ball music man john petrucci :D

but few days later i don’t know why , but i found myself smashing up my tv amps while playing this crazy game :D

so Lets Know About :

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is a music video game developed by Neversoft published by Activision and RedOctane. It is the third full installment in the Guitar Hero series, and the fourth title overall. Guitar Hero III was first released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with the PlayStation 2 version developed through Budcat Creations and the Wii version through Vicarious Visions. Aspyr Media assisted in porting the game to the PC, and Mac platforms in late 2007. Due to the acquisition of RedOctane by Activision, Harmonix Music Systems is no longer involved in developing titles in the Guitar Hero series; instead, they developed the competing Rock Band.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock retains the same gameplay as the other games in the series. The player uses a special guitar-shaped controller to simulate the playing of rock music by playing in-time to scrolling notes on-screen. Guitar Hero III includes a new cooperative career mode and “Boss Battles” against both in-game characters and other players; the game is also the first in the series to allow for online play for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii versions. The game features over 70 total songs shipped on disk, many of which, in contrast to previous games, are master tracks. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions also feature the ability to download additional songs. Several musicians appear in Guitar Hero 3, including Tom Morello (of the bands Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave) and Slash (of the bands Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver) as in-game characters. The PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions also include Bret Michaels (of the band Poison).

The game was well-received, though reviewers noted the difference in the feel of the game compared to the previous installments due to the change of developer. The game was the best-selling video game of 2007, both in terms of units sold and revenue earned.

Lets Know About :

The PlayStation 3 commonly abbreviated PS3 is the third home video game console produced by Sony Computer Entertainment, and the successor to the PlayStation 2 as part of the PlayStation series. The PlayStation 3 competes with Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo’s Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles.

A major feature that distinguishes the PlayStation 3 from its predecessors is its unified online gaming service, the PlayStation Network, which contrasts with Sony’s former policy of relying on game developers for online play. Other major features of the console include its robust multimedia capabilities, connectivity with the PlayStation Portable, and its use of a high-definition optical disc format, Blu-ray Disc, as its primary storage medium.The PS3 was also the first Blu-ray 2.0-compliant Blu-ray player on the market.

The PlayStation 3 was first released on November 11, 2006 in Japan, November 17, 2006 in North America, and March 23, 2007 in Europe and Oceania.Two SKUs were available at launch: a basic model with a 20 GB hard drive (HDD), and a premium model with a 60 GB hard drive and several additional features(the 20 GB model was not released in Europe or Oceania).Since then, several revisions have been made to the console’s available models
