Top 30 games For The IPad

ipadgames_270x253
The iPad may not have a built-in camera, multitasking capabilities, or support for Flash, but it does have a 9.7-inch high-resolution touch screen that many expect will be conducive for gaming. And though Apple only showed off a couple of games at the iPad launch event, the company made it clear that all iPhone apps–including games–would run on the iPad and that it expected many developers to create updated versions of their games that would take advantage of the device’s larger display.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether developers will charge you extra for the iPad version of an iPhone game you’ve already bought (we suspect that at least for some games the iPad version will be a separate purchase). However, we’re not going to worry about all that right now; instead we’re just going to take a moment to imagine what iPhone games will really benefit from making the move to the big screen, and which PC or online games would be ripe for iPad treatment.

250GB HDD For Xbox

250gb_500x260
Microsoft Japan has just announced the latest range of accessories for its game console, including a 250GB upgrade kit for 15,540 yen (US$172). Though the price is on the high side for a comparable hard disc drive (HDD), this addon is the only legitimate Xbox 360 HDD enhancement which will not void the console’s warranty. This is unlike the rival Sony PlayStation 3 Slim which can be user-upgraded with most, if not all, 2.5-inch laptop drives off the shelf.

PS3 Gets DVR Functions

A USB terrestrial digital tuner dubbed Torne to your Sony PlayStation 3. It runs on dedicated software and instantly transforms the console into a TV box and digital video recorder. TV recordings are stored either in the PS3’s built-in storage or up to four external USB hard drives (eight units can be registered). Other standard features include an electronic program guide and zoom function. Things get even better if you own a PlayStation Portable which can wirelessly watch live and recorded programs off a PS3 or to set the recorder through a network via its remote play function.
