Wouldn’t it be great to customize your nintendo wii Fit, the way you would your mobile phone? Install a unique theme, give it a brand new look and let it shine with character? The fact is, if you’re willing to spend some time brainstorming how you want your nintendo wii Fit to look, customizing it isn’t as difficult or expensive as you thought. Here are 3 ways you can do that :

(1) Spruce Up Your Balance Board With A Designer Silicon Cover

Yes, one of the easiest ways to give your nintendo wii Fit a refreshing look is to clad your balance board with a designer silicon cover. In an instance, you can transform your plain looking balance board into a patriotic national flag, part of a leopard’s body or simply a free styled manifestation of your artistic expression. Not only does the silicon cover add an air of sophistication to your Wii Fit, it also protects the balance board from your perspiration and dirt. The non slip nature of the silicon material also prevents accidents.

In case you’re wondering, nope, such silicon covers aren’t expensive at all. Due to the popularity of the Nintendo Wii Fit, the supply of silicon covers have readily increased and helped to slash retail prices. You can easily get a nice functional cover sometimes for as low as $1 on ebay!

(2) Top It Up With A Great Wii Skin or Case

If having a designer styled silicon cover is not enough for you, take this a step further by dolling up your Wii console & remote control with customised skins. There are some pretty ingenius ideas on such and one of the most hilarious I’ve seen is the Kentucky Fried Chicken (”KFC”) theme. Apparently, someone was creative enough to design the remote control custom skin in the form of a fried chicken drumstick, with the KFC logo proudly displayed on the Wii console! Although it was just a photoshopped picture, well, who knows if that would really turn out to be a best seller?

(3) Customise Your Mii Avatar

Miis are the little avatars that you create on the Wii to be used in various games and configurations. Mii, pronounced as “me” are in essence your graphical representation in the Wii world. They look like Manga versions of the characters in the comic “Peanuts” and can be modified using a series of system features to create a broad range of variation. To add some spice into your Wii Fit experience, you might want to try changing your Mii Avatar to something that represents your true personality! And if you’re game for it, there are some premium services offered on the Internet to create custom made Mii avatars for the price of a cup of Starbucks coffee! Well, that’s not too high a price to pay for a unique expression of your individuality, isn’t it?

Let’s face facts here, when Sony released the PS1 (PSX the first Playstation console) it revolutionized the gaming industry with it’s amazing graphics and it’s exclusive game titles such as Tomb Raider, GTA and Grand Turismo.

Though to be fair and honest with our selfs, they didn’t have much competition did they?

Now many years on, Sony are now developing and pushing out titles for their next gen console the Playstation 3. The console is way more advance then the PS1 and PS2 put together. Though it now has touch competition to play against, the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii have are growing bigger and stronger each year.

You could even say now that Microsoft and Sony are now on par with each other with Microsoft edging ahead when it comes to fan base size.

Even though we see Sony dropping behind it still isn’t the end for them and I strongly feel that the PS3 will become the top gaming console within the next 2 years!

Reason for this is that it’s way more powerful then the Xbox 360, needless to say it’s also way more powerful then the Nintendo Wii also but we all know the Wii is based more on “Activity” gaming then “Hard Core Graphics” which is one the reasons it has won the hearts of many people.

So we can say the Xbox 360 and PS3 are to two battling it out for top gaming console in hard core graphics!

Now, the Xbox 360 was released almost a year and half before the Playstation 3. This kinder gave a massive edge to Microsoft, it’s had more gaming developers learn it’s tools straight away.

Now Sony, making life a lot harder for them self release late, develop software to design games harder and more complicated to use and kinder start off on the wrong foot.

Games looked better on the Xbox 360, they also ran better too and Sony could not keep up with it.

Though, few years on, developers are now pushing on and making games look a lot better on the PS3 then the Xbox 360.

This will also continue, exclusive games such as Metal Gear Solid 4 would not be able to run on the Xbox 360, some say it could but I believe it would due to the shear power of the PS3 being far greater then the Xbox 360.

It will only get better, the PS3 titles will start to look more crisper and leaner the Xbox 360 and frame rates will be much more better then before.

In 2 years time, games on the PS3 will be mostly exclusive games, Microsoft will have to bring out their next gen console pretty fast to compete but I do believe Microsoft are not foolish. They will let Sony have there slice of the pie and then shot them down with a more powerful gaming console then the Xbox 360.

Playing a Shaman class character in World of Warcraft PvP is incredible fun because of all the things they can do in combat. Whether it is throwing down an armful of offensive and defensive totems, or slicing their opponent to ribbons using Windfury, Shaman can do it all, with style and power. But all those abilities mean there’s a real learning curve if you want to play a Shaman in PvP.

The big issue with playing a Shaman is all those totems. They are the class’s unique source of strength, but also their Achilles heel. The Shaman class has multiple different elemental specs with more than 30 different totems between them. And you can find good uses for many of them in PvP combat.

For example, the Grounding Totem which disrupts attacks while Earthshock interrupts them. And Poison Cleanse removes poisons as they are cast (very handy against Rogues). Depending on which totem your Shaman uses, they can dispel attacks, defang Rogues by keeping them out of combat, absorb the Warrior’s Intercept ability, and slow a Hunter long enough to hit him. There are totems that are effective in virtually any situation.

The key to success as a Shaman in PvP is clearly learning when and how and which totems to use in any situation. While there are many totems available to use, a Shaman can only create so many totems so fast. Plus the amount of mana available to do so isn’t infinite. If you don’t know which totem to cast when, and how to keep them up and functioning while using mana efficiently, your Shaman will run out of totems before they run out of enemies. Then things get real ugly, real fast.

This is why getting yourself a quality Shaman PvP Guide is so important. In a quality guide, you’ll learn which totems to use against which opponents. You’ll learn how to put totems into play against each class and how to maintain your Shaman’s health and mana while holding your own against whichever class of opponent comes your way. It will show you how to take on all 9 classes in one on one duels. And it will show you how your Shaman can best fit into a 2v2, 3v3, or 5v5 team.

Because a quality PvP Guide incorporates the hard-earned experience of veteran Shaman players, it will contain strategies and tactics that are not obvious to newer players. It will teach you the key things you need to know, saving you vast amounts of time you would otherwise spend on trial and error. Why spend hours at the bottom of the pile, unsure about which totem to use when and getting crushed by more experienced players, when you can slash the length of your learning curve with a quality Shaman PvP Guide?

Playing a Warlock class character in World of Warcraft PvP makes you a powerhouse, especially in Arena play. Warlocks are downright nasty to fight against. With their ability to literally curse other classes to death, Warlocks are often feared, even hated, in Player versus Player combat. But they’re not indestructible, and are vulnerable to any class of opponent, provided that opponent knows how to counteract the Warlock’s abilities.

A Warlock in PvP is actually a simple class to play. The basic strategy is to hit an opposing charcter with tons of DoT (Damage Over Time) spells, then cast Fear on them repeatedly. Do this enough times and the opponent dies.

Warlocks also can drain mana from other characters and can regenerate their own health. On top of that, they can be optimized to be extremely dangerous against casters due to their Felhunter, a pet seemingly designed to slaughter mages. In short, a well trained Warlock can defeat any other character class.

A poorly trained Warlock, on the other hand, isn’t going to last very long in PvP. With no combat ability outside their casting, Warlocks are at the mercy of any character that is able to drain their mana, remove their curses, or resist their fears. Knowing how to deal with such pesky opponents is a key to victory as a Warlock. This is where a quality Warlock PvP Guide comes into the picture.

Warlock PvP Guides are incredibly important. As a Warlock, you will find it almost impossible to defeat some classes without a well-honed strategy. You can either spend your time in battle (probably getting your butt kicked) trying to learn which strategies and tactics work against which class, or you can invest in a guide book.

For example, if a Priest succeeds in draining most of your Warlock’s mana, it will be very hard to retaliate. Also, Priests and Paladins can remove your curses with their dispel abilities, taking away some of your most potent weapons. You need to know what each class will do against your Warlock, as well as how often they can use their counters against you.

A good Warlock PvP Guide will answer these questions for you. In general, your best bet to being successful with a Warlock in PvP is to combat directly against your foes using prebuilt strategies that can alter and adjust to fit your necessities.

This is why getting yourself a quality Shaman PvP Guide is so important. In a quality guide, you’ll learn which strategies to use against which opponents. You’ll learn what and when to cast against each class and how to respond to their attacks. You’ll know how to take on all 9 classes in one on one duels, and what to do as part of a 2v2, 3v3, or 5v5 team.

Because a quality PvP Guide incorporates the hard-earned experience of veteran Warlocks, it will contain strategies and tactics that are not obvious to newer players. It will teach you the key things you need to know, saving you vast amounts of time and energy you would otherwise spend on trial and error.

There are dozens of WoW PvP Guides on the market today. They all promise that they can help you become an expert with your character class and dominate every other class in Player versus Player combat using their superior strategies. But many World of Warcraft PvP Guides don’t deliver.

They give you general information and outdated strategies, along with many tasks to run you through that may or may not actually help. In the end, they tend to be highly subjective, and are often closely tied to a particular WoW version, becoming obsolete after a patch or two, making them almost entirely useless. So, how do you find a good WoW PvP Guide for your specific character’s needs?

First off, you need to know what the goals of a quality WoW PvP Guide should be. A quality guide should provide a basic overview of common PvP situations for beginners, along with increasingly in-depth analysis of specific PvP matchups, situations, and battlegrounds for more experienced players. This ensures that the guide is useful to you not only when you are a beginner, but also as you grow in skill and experience.

You should expect to a WoW PvP Guide to have detailed information on how to win all 81 one on one matchups. This way you will know more than what your character should do in response to each class of opponent. You will also learn how each other class of character is likely to respond to your character class, making it easier to understand the action when you are actually in combat. Beyond that, a quality WoW PvP Guide will show you how to fight as part of many of the 72 different 2v2 arena teams, what archetypes and methods are used for 3v3 and 5v5 arena teams and how to get into battlegrounds and take them on without being yet another member of the bottom 5 players on the scoreboard.

Most of all, a good WoW PvP Guide should be written for everyone. It should not be just a specific guide for one class that assumes all players will use a couple of different team combinations. It should not have forty pages on Rogues in PvP and four pages on Paladins. It should thoroughly cover all 9 classes, with details about talent specs, gear selection add-ons for PvP, macros to use, websites to research, and the myriad of different matchups your character will face. A quality guide will help you to take on the WoW community with the best World of Warcraft PvP Guide available. You guide will become a stepping stone for you on the road to becoming a dominant Player versus Player combatant.

You might own one, if you don’t then you are one of few that have not been sucked into the craze that is the Nintendo Wii. Why is it doing so well in the games console market and why is it threatening the BIG guns aka Microsoft and Sony!

The Nintendo Wii was released around the same time as the Playstation 3. The Xbox 360 was already settled by this time and had a different type of gamer. Though the Nintendo Wii was aimed not only at the average gamer but also at a new breed of gamer.

The Wii works on a motion sensor, it’s controllers work like light sabers but without glowing light like in the star wars movies.

Instead you wave your control around in front of the TV screen which moves your little buddy around, (Depending on what game you play) which is the new approach that Nintendo have taken.

No longer are you using the old style of play, where you plug in your joy pad and bash away at your buttons to get the top score. Nope, the Nintendo Wii makes you interact with the game and makes the gamer more active!

For example, one of the games that comes with the basic package of the Nintendo Wii is Wii Sports. This game will have you playing tennis, boxing, bowling and even baseball!

This is one of the biggest reasons why Nintendo has become a hit, its not all about fancy graphics it’s about becoming more active with the game and having fun!

If you want a more family fun console then the Nintendo Wii is the number one choice to go for. It’s catering for all gamers, it’s still got some pretty hard core games like Resident Evil and co and has your old classics such as Mario Kart.

The Nintendo Wii within the last 2 years has shocked most gaming experts, most believed that Sony and Microsoft were going to storm the gaming scene and leave no room for a 3rd console. Lucky for us this never happened and Nintendo have shown why they have been going so strongly within the last decade.

Nintendo have many plans for the Wii, releasing the Wii Fit a fitness board which is not only fun for all the family but is also a great way of keeping fit and trim. You can see that Nintendo are moving towards pushing kids to a more active roll helping the future generation in a very positive way.

While the Xbox 360 and Sony fight over who has the better graphics, Nintendo have sneakily taken the advantage by convincing people that graphics are not that most important aspect to enjoying a game. Which is so true in many ways, remember your old classics? I bet you would still enjoy playing games such as Mario, Star Fox, the old Resident Evil series etc…

It does seem that most next generation gaming consoles do try and push games that have fancy graphics and advance AI. For me the more real the game is the less fun it has been, I miss fun and addictive gaming which focuses on the user and not a glorified Look how great I look! game which in the end might not have the game play we require.

If you don’t own a Wii then I’m sure you will soon enough, Christmas of 2008 looks like it will be another sell out of all Nintendo Wii’s so don’t wait too long! My advise would to get in quick before the rush starts, with the introduction of the Wii FIT and other new soon to be released ideas from Nintendo I’m sure the Wii will be a very much wanted gift this year.
