RPG Games: Achieving Your Goal Successfully Through Role-Playing Game

Video games are not just purely about entertainment and fun only, which adults or parents claim as negative influence to their kids. If you look towards the positive sides, there are certain games that can help you develop your personality. These kinds of games may stimulate your inner character development e.g. how you will act on a certain situation and what to decide on particular instance. This game is known as RPG or Role-Playing Game.

RPG Games is a type of game where you assume the roles of a character and produce stories. You have the freedom to improvise your characters and what its destiny would be as long as it is within the game's rules and regulation. The characters you select or create will shape the direction as well as the outcome of the game. Therefore, it is advisable, to select a games that have a good characters in it prior to purchase. You will be the one to determine the actions of your character/s based on its own personality, and the success or failure of such actions will depend on the system of rules and regulations of the game.

This game is more into collaboration and interaction type of gaming than competition gaming type. Typically, an RPG objective is to unite you and other player into a team (which known as party). Playing in group, you share the blessing of each success that you will achieve as you play the game.

The game system used is roughly similar to the game engine (the core software component) of a video game, which take several forms such as:-

Game systems that depict a particular genre or style of play (such as Dungeons and Dragons).

Systems that are not genre-specific yet come bundled with a particular campaign setting (such as the RuneQuest).

All RPG game systems require the participation of a Game Master who will create the game environment and act as an intermediary between the players. The Game Master will field a story goal for the players to fulfill through the actions of their in-game characters. It involves interaction with NPCs (non-player characters), other occupants of the game world (which is commonly played by the Game Master), puzzle-solving, combats, and negotiations.

Role Playing Games can be your platform in developing your personality, through this kind of value added entertainment. You should learn the game system so that you can achieve your goals successfully and full of glory in a role-playing game.

Console Wars - Wii Vs Xbox 360 Vs PS3

The current generation of console wars would have to be one of the most interesting in wars the history of the industry. Gone are the days of the original Playstation dominating the industry with 80 million consoles sold and gone are the days of the 1 vs 1 nature of the 16 bit era. There are three major players in this generation and perhaps most interestingly, the power house corporations throwing hundreds of millions into advertising are behind.

The PS3 is in serious trouble a year into it's life. While many argue it is the most impressive of the three when you take into account it's amazing power, it still finds itself 10 million consoles behind the Wii worldwide, while still trailing the xbox 360 by about 7 million units. Even though Sony boasts that the PS3 is the cheapest Blu-Ray player on the market, sales have indicated that the average consumer wasn't willing to pay the huge asking price upon release and elected to purchase the pure gaming machines in the Wii and 360 instead. Magazines such as PC World and GamesRadar have both slammed the machine for being "late, expensive and imcomplete" and the biggest game related PR disaster respectively.

The Xbox 360 was the first to launch late 2006. Many would argue the xbox 360 is the furthest behind when you take into account the fact that it launched a year before the other two consoles... and if you compare PS3 sales to the sales of the 360 at the same age, this is true. The question becomes can the PS3 sustain it and catch the 360? The Xbox 360 has accumulated a loyal fan base and for this reason developers are producing games for both the 360 and PS3 that would have been an exclusive for the PS2 in the previous generation. This alone, in the end could be a killer blow for the PS3.

The Wii was without a doubt the underdog before it's release. Not many would have predicted the huge success the Wii would be when you looked at the two gaming giants it was up against: Microsoft and Sony. However, a year into it's release, the Wii find's itself way ahead of the pack, taping into the apparent unbelievable potential of the casual gamer. The Wii's appeal is it's ability to get people who have never touched a video game in their life to have a go. This has seen housewives, and even grandparents purchase a Wii for their very own... and may be the reason why the Wii has sold 50% more consoles than the PS3 in the same period of time.

The new generation has also seen the creation of many online download sites out there. This is becoming more of a reality as technology gets better due to the super fast internet connections most have today. Some are legal and decent services, but others can just be in it to take your money. Check out my review (link below) of one of them I recommend if you want to download games for your next gen console.
