Video Game

Video Game

There are thousands of games on the market for video game consoles and thats not even counting PC games So how does one decide how to choose the best titles For starters if youre giving a gift find out what sort of system the person has Buying video games can become an addicting process Video game makers are in a constant battle to create the most exciting and creative games for all types of players From action games to family games you will be sure to find a game that will engage and challenge your creativity
If you are purchasing a video game for a child you should definitely consider video game ratings E rated games are usually quite tame with little to no violence An E10 video game is suitable for children above the age of ten
T games are for those 13 and older Avoid games that are labeled MA for mature or AO for adults only Also consult the parents wishes as some teen games may have mild cartoonish violence that the parents find unobjectionable
When you cant be sure never purchase a used game Return policies on new games usually allow one to exchange unopened games for others Alternately you could purchase a gift certificate so the person can chose a video game for him or herself Most new video games cost between 1800 to 2250 INR
One of the worst things you can do as a consumer is to buy games especially if they are not new from a local retail outlet Most of the games within these stores are overpriced even after you factor in the discount that you will get from the advertised sale price or the savings through the stores discount card If you have too then its best to buy a game from the preowned section Preowned games are generally in good condition and cost 20 % less then their counterparts just remember to inspect the game box for any missing game manuals and the game disc for scratches
Of great importance when purchasing a video game is whether the video game will play with yours or someone elses gaming system Major gaming systems include the Nintendo Game Cube the Playstation 2 the XBox and of course a video game can also be purchased for play on the computer Most games are labeled with the appropriate game system If you are looking for a computer video game be certain that your computer has the correct memory and system requirements or the game is useless For example if you have a Mac computer read the fine print on the back of the cover to be certain your computer meets the minimum system requirements or is even usable on the Mac
If you are trying out a new system the Internet has terrific sites with video game reviews so you can select the type of game that will be most appealing to you As well there are video game review magazines that can guide you toward a good choice Solicit reviews from friends who are avid gamers as they will also be an excellent resource Most of the current systems are several years old Both Nintendo and Play station will soon release new gaming machines but older machines mean more game choice Some of the oldest games for a system may be the best ones to choose
Many companies resell used games which translates to less expense to the consumer Usually video games that are resold are of good quality though they may be missing instruction manuals Price difference is significant with most used games selling for half the price of new games So before advancing 2250 INR for a new game check to see if you can get the game used Even stores like the Internet offer used games for reduced prices
