I love video games, xbox, playstation, nintendo - you name it, I've either had it, played it, ,borrowed it, stole it (just kidding). Video games come in a variety of genres some of which are categorized as shooters or shooting games. Some of the most popular and successful shooting games in the last 10 years have been Halo, Call Of Duty, Doom and Duke Nukem.
Video games have become notoriously expensive and many people look to buying them used or months after their release when the price has dropped significantly. But who goes and buys a game after all your friends have finished it and know all the secrets behind it? Not me!
Don't waste your precious money on over priced retailers, buy your games at wize.com. They have a wide variety of games especially shooting games all for reasonable prices! Currently wize is having a sale on Halo, Tom Clancy's: Splinter Cell, Grand Theft Auto and Ninja Gaiden.
Don't wait for tomorrow!

Video games - the next generation console battle.
I've been blessed enough to have ready access to most if not all the "good" consoles, and by good consoles I'm referring to the nintendo wii, microsoft xbox 360 and sony playstation 3 . Am I bragging? Yes! You're probably wondering why you should continue reading this article but wait a while and hear me out, I have valuable information you will want to keep handy when heading out to best buy or wherever you go to purchase your video games.
Nintendo Wii

Best Buy Price: 249.99
(includes wii controller & nunchuck)
The good: Of the next generation (since 2005) consoles it is the most affordable and utilizes a control system that even your grand mother will love.
You can play your old (or new) gamecube games on the wii.
Super Mario Galaxy!
Microsoft Xbox 360

Best Buy Price:279.99 (core)
(includes 1 wireless controller)
The good: It's cheaper than the sony playstation 3
It has more games than the ps3
Xbox = Halo! (Not avaiable on other consoles)
The bad: 360's tend to have noisy processors
You have to pay for xbox live compatability (connecting to the internet)
The "red ring of death" - Basically, AIDS for your 360.
The ugly: It must suck to have your system mysteriously crash after a year of usage due to the red ring of death - VERY UGLY.
Sony Playstation 3

Best buy Price: 399.99
(includes 1 wireless controller)
The good: It's like having a PSP, only bigger - without the LCD screen. In other words, you can connect to the internet, watch movies, download music, videos, applications etc. (I don't think you can mod a ps3 yet though)
The controllers are very light. (almost too light)
The bad: Expensive
Has been known to suffer from overheating problems
There aren't as many games out for it when compared with the 360
The ugly: It's heavy and gaudy - Way too big especially when compared with the nintendo wii
