Welcome to Video Game central (VGC) the ultimate for non-flashy video game sites, just straight information on one handy web page. My site includes the latest reviews, previews and news straight from the unoffical source.
Console reviews:
PLAYSTAION 2 (PS2)
Power: The PS2 has the lowest power of any of the consoles. Which makes it graphicly inferior to GCN and X-box. It also has the slowest load times by far of any of the other consoles.
Sound: The playstation boasts the worst sound of any next gen console even the defunked Sega Dreamcast. It has substantaliy less Sound channels than GCN or XBX (X-Box)which slows down the game if their is a lot of simultanious sound.
Controller/Accesories: The playstation controller is more comfortable than the X-box one but still no where near the GCN controller in comfort level. Very little acessories to talk about. Socom and online accesories are solied choices though.
Games: Has by far the most games of any system although almost 50% of the games are not very good. GTA3,Socom Navey seals and GTA Vice City are good choices.
Online:
Very good sports wise. Although still no where near X-box.
Originality: None they copy almost every thing from the other consoles ie. headphones, PSP (Playstation Poket, review coming soon) and hard drive.
My Score for PS2 7/10
Nintendo Gamecube (GCN)
Power: The nintendo Gamecube is the second most powerful system on the market outclassing PS2 in every Graphical way. It's load times are also 2.5 times faster than PS2. Price wise it is the most for the least.
Sound: The Gamecube and X-Box have the best sound of any console so far,with double the channels of PS2. So if you have surrond sound the GCN and X-Box are the number one choices
Controller/Accesories: The Gamecube controller is by far the best controller ever made and outclasses all systems. It has many accesories like the GBA (Gameboy Advance Player),GBA link, GBA-GCN connectivity and the all mighy Wave Bird wireless controller.
Games: Has the most exclusive hit titles of any console and big name mega hits like Mario, Metriod, Zelda, Pikmin, Donkey Kong, Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil 1 and 0 and F Zero.
Online: Awful GCN only has one game online. But the game is very good.
Originality: Nintendo pretty much started the Video Game buisness
and everyhting they do is new and fresh very original
My Score For GCN 9/10
Mirosoft X-Box
Power: Most powerful system although the graphics look slightly better than GCN on some games (Like Splinter Cell) the difference is like 11:49 and 12:00 barly noticable if at all.
Sound:The Gamecube and X-Box have the best sound of any console so far,with double the channels of PS2. So if you have surrond sound the GCN and X-Box are the number one choices.
Controller/Accesories:The X-box controller feals like it was designed for a octopus with 6 feet hands, very uncomfortable. X-box live is the ultimate X-Box accesorie.
Games: You can count the number of exclusive hit X-Box titles on one finger
Online: X-Box live says it all
Originality: Very original with a hard drive and headsets with voice masking
