Game Console Specs: Sega Dreamcast • 16 MB Installed Memory
Reviews: 12 expert reviews (rating 70 / 100) • 994 user reviews
"Sega Rally 2 has emerged as one of the fledgling Dreamcast's most important titles for many reasons...Fortunately for Sega and the state of the Dreamcast, Sega Rally 2 is crashing in like a thoroughbred - mowing down the crowd of doubting Thomases and establishing itself firmly at the forefront of the racing genre...While most of the attention surrounding the Dreamcast Model 3 ports will invariably center on the faithfulness of the translation, average US gamers will most likely never have the chance to see an actual Sega Rally 2 arcade setup...The game makes use of the standard Dreamcast controller (which supports both the analog and digital D-pad...Not bad, considering you already start off with eight cars...One of the major gripes with the Japanese version of Rally 2 was the frame rate..." read more »

Game Console Specs: Wii • 512 MB Installed Memory • Wireless Type Wi-Fi
Reviews: 50 expert reviews (rating 81 / 100) • 2576 user reviews
"The Wii has to be the first games console to get you up off your rump and onto your feet...The Wii is surprisingly compact, though that's as much because it runs off a separate power block - and a large one, too - as the simplicity of the internals...All the pre-release publicity pics sent out by Nintendo showed the Wii in its stand, which has the console thrusting up at an angle, but you can sit the machine less prominently on its base, NES-fashion, or on its side...The front of the Wii is dominated by the slot-loading optical disc drive, a slash of black against the Wii's shiny iPod white fascia - though it lights up when data comes wafting on over the airwaves courtesy of Nintendo's WiiConnect24 online service..." read more »

Reviews: 58 user reviews
"I don't think the article is about whether or not xBox is a good gaming machine...I did place the 360 away from the other electronics and with good ventilation to minimize the risk of any heat-related problems...They did a good job with the 360..." read more »

Game Console Specs: GameCube • 24 KB Installed Memory
Reviews: 13 expert reviews (rating 75 / 100) • 1883 user reviews
"It's a sure bet it'll be good though...A somewhat unexpected game making its debut on GameCube was Wave Race...The original set standards for the N64, and it looks to do the same for GameCube...LucasArts also threw their support behind GameCube with a quick view of X-wings flying in formation and strafing the surface of the Death Star..." read more »

"Large 120GB hard drive; HDMI output; includes HDMI and component cables...No integrated Wi-Fi or HD DVD player; DVD drive is still loud during movie playback...Plus, get early access to contests and specials from our partners...Although when using the DVD it runs rather loud so I bought the External HD-DVD Player...Do you have an opinion on this product......" read more »

Reviews: 22 expert reviews (rating 85 / 100) • 1897 user reviews
"Much smaller, easier to carry
Sleek, sexy design
Beautiful, bright screen
Long battery life
Thicker, sturdier stylus...GBA carts stick out
Bottom screen has some vertical movement
Small buttons, tight placement...DS Lite listings are mixed in with regular Nintendo DS listings...I've bought so many Game Boy products in my life that I wish I could subscribe to a service instead of handing Nintendo my hard-earned..." read more »

Reviews: 50 expert reviews (rating 77 / 100) • 2830 user reviews
"Much smaller and sleeker, brighter screens...GBA cartridges stick out...Nintendo loves to reinvent their handheld video game consoles, and we'd probably make fun of them if they weren't so good at it...Take their new DS Lite, for example...Obviously, the DS Lite is smaller and lighter than the original video game console...The DS Lite is nearly two-thirds the size of the original console--about as small as Nintendo could make it and still have room for both..." read more »

Game Console Specs: PlayStation 2 • 32 MB Installed Memory
Reviews: 20 expert reviews (rating 90 / 100) • 1867 user reviews
"The display shows up to 262 K colors at 240x320 pixel resolution (2 inches diagonal, TFT), which allows accommodating up to 8 text and 3 service lines for most applications...To a certain extent, replication of the flagship’s keypad indicates the T650i’s status they are trying to clad it with...In conditions of Moscow networks the T650i stayed online for around three days, and we were not particularly heavy on its features (up to 1 hour of calls, 30 minutes of games, 20 minutes of web surfing..." read more »

"Good price at $19.99
Supports multiple device types
Supports up to 4 devices simultaneously
Full Windwos XP and Windows Vista support
High quality...Current direct support for the 360 gamepad is little (more and more games are supporting it though)
If...Within a month of the Microsoft XBox 360 being released, Microsoft was selling the wired USB controller for XBox 360 owners and also PC gamers who desired a gamepad...This is not limited to the wireless..." read more »
