Over the many years of gaming there have been to main types of controllers that where here sense the beginning are used in gaming today. The to main types are hand-helds and keyboard and mouse. The think is not allot of people thought about which of the two where better; so I will make some points about it.
The hand-helds has many advantages that the keyboard doesn't have. The main thing that a hand-held controller has is comfort, in fact most hand-held controllers where made mostly for the fell and comfort, as keyboards aren't always made for this purpose. Another thing going going for hand-helds is the ease of using buttons and the analog.
Keyboards and mice might not be conferable and might not be the easiest to use but that doesn't mean that they are bad. Keyboards have many buttons that you can change what each one dose if you want, and even make button combos that you would only have to press one button instead of five or more on an hand-held. And a great thing about the mouse is that they are built to be precise, instead of the analog stick that is sometimes hard to use unless your playing some racing game.
Over all they keyboard with mouse and hand-held controller both have there advantages and disadvantages. So I will say in my own opinion that keyboards with mouse is better than hand-held controllers.
I have been playing Minecraft for about two years now and I am still enjoying the game, like many other people I know. Minecraft is an Indie game so its not your plan RPG (Role-Playing-Game) or your PVP (Player-Vs-Player) and PVE (Player-Vs-Environment).
Old Town Village
Minecraft is a game of infinite possibilities, with the ability to have your own worlds and do what ever you want to them. From trying to survive the onslaught of zombies to makeing a large city that looks just as good as some real ones.
I my self have been playing this game like I have said before for about two years, and in that time I have made great cities, survived the onslaught of the hardest mobs in the game, and also made great friends (online of-course) that I still talk to today. I will say the Minecraft is the best game I have ever played in my life time and I still enjoy this game with the communty that surrounds it.
Minecraft Remake of Final Fantasy Midgar
And if I had ever gotten bored of the game I would just add some mods to the game; that would could change everything and bring out more challenges and give me more options of how I would play the game.
The PlayStation 4 is said to be released holiday 2013. This means that we will have to wait another nine or ten months till we can get our hands on this new product. So start putting on your Xmas wish list and hope for the best or do the right thing and get a job over the summer and save the money to buy it yourselves.
Some of the great games that will be comeing out with the PS4 are DriveClub, Killzone Shadow Fall, Deep Down, Watch Dogs, Diablo III, and Infamous: Second Son.
And here is a nice clip for you to start thinking about getting the PlayStation 4
The PS4 will be the best console system to this date. After 4 years of planing and designing the PS4 is suppose to be compared to a top-of-the-line gaming computer. All I can say is that the price will be high for the PS4 when it comes out, and if I was to guess the price of the PS4 it would be over $400.
The PS4 will have a," 8-core AMD "Jaguar" x86-64 with integrated graphics APU, 8GB of GDDR 5 RAM, which can mainly be found in the top-of-the-line graphic cards and "next-gen" AMD Radeon graphics processor capable of processing at 1.84 teraflops, and like the PS3 the PS4 will ship with a Blu-ray drive, built-in 80.211 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, HDMI, Analog-AV, and an optical digital output." In addition you may also play PS4 games on the PSP Vitia.
The other thing that has been revealed is the DualShock 4 controller. This new and beautiful controller made for the PS4 has a touch screen like the PSP Vitia's, there is a new share button on the controller to strem in game or out of game pictures to your friends, and also will include a headphone jack and light bar to identify players. Another thing that will come with the system will be a 3d Stereo Camera that will track the Move-enabled controller.
And also ten laucch titles for the PS4 where revealed that included the new Unreal 4 engine. "Popular titles like Killzone and Infamous are making their way onto the next platform with Killzone Shadow Fall and Infamous Second Son. But out of all the game two notable ones seem to take a direct aim at Microsoft Drive Club, a next-gen racing simulator seems to be Sony’s new and improved Gran Turismo and will take on Forza Motorsport this next generation. Also, Bungie made an appearance at the conference to showcase their new game Destiny. Bungie and Microsoft severed their partnership back in 2007 and Bungie made that clear when they announced that PS4 players would be getting exclusive DLC content for Destiny. A bit of a back hand to Microsoft. Other games like Watch Dogs, and brand new titles were demoed and announced as well."
Currently there are no pictures released for the PS4, but I place my bet (I'm broke so no real bet) that the PS4 will look extremely good.
