Read the Wize buying guide
Wize Buying Guide for Casual Gamers Before you buy a game console, you have to know which games you want to play.

If you want to play interactive games with your friends, then go for the Nintendo Wii or the PS3, which really serve core gamers well, or the Xbox 360, which presents balance. If you want less complicated games--like legends Super Mario Brothers or Donkey Kong--then you may want to turn back time and get the Nintendo Nes Console.


If you prefer game consoles you can take anywhere, you might want to check out the Sony PSP and Nintendo GameBoy Micro. Browse online or drop by your local game or electronic stores to explore these consoles' special features. Try them out, get a good feel for them: you will figure out which game console you will like most.


Add-ons also are a plus if you wish to set up an entertainment system at home. Also, be sure to look at the value of backwards compatibility. For example, the 80GB model of PS3 allows you to play PS2 games, so you can upgrade your console without losing the ability to play your old favorites.


Happy gaming!
