What would you say if I told you, you can now download PS2 games online? Not only has the newly arrived PS3 been out for quite a while now...but the previous systems games (the PS2) are still costing almost as much as they did when released. These days it now a lot more convenient and practical to be able to download PS2 games online and transfer to DVD through the power of the internet.

When downloading any software program or game from the internet it is always good to know the risks and issues involved. There has been much publicity in recent times on people using illegal peer-to-peer applications to enable free downloads. This is where you really benefit from using one of the paid services online for peace of mind when do download PS2 games. For a one time fee, not only do you get peace of mind any files downloaded are legal, safe and virus free, but also many of the better download sites will offer a comprehensive library of PS2 games.

Having the service archive a list of games and provide both the games, software and licensing required is generally well worth what is typically a once off nominal fee.
So, Are these sites user friendly and easy to use? Well, from the investigation I have done most seem to be. Of the 3 sites tested the process generally involves logging onto the website, performing a search for the games title, then clicking the 'download PS2 game' button. The game will generally take around 2 hours to download, (although this may change depending upon the speed of your internet connection).

Upon downloading the games will need to be transferred to DVD before they can be played on your PS2. Thankfully each of the services I subscribed to had their own DVD burning software, and as I have a DVD burner in my laptop is was no issue transferring the games onto disk.

Which are the best sites to use? There are quite a few sites available; many may be specific to a certain platform of console. Generally speaking the services that offer a large collection of games and downloads (think 10,000+) are reliable platforms that will offer both a good service and solid support and tools for the user should you encounter any problems.

I am an avid PS2 gaming Fan and crazy about console gaming in general. Check out my full PS2 Download review on how to download PS2 games

AP - Flowers and candles piled up Sunday outside the home where a TV anchorwoman was found brutally beaten, as tributes poured into the Web site of the Little Rock station where her colleagues mourned her death.

Golf equipment can get expensive as you start buying more and more branded golf equipment. In this era of recessionary trends the option that you have is to buy used golf equipment and that will help you save enormous sums of money over a period of time.

Golf clubs is an expensive item within the golf equipment set that can be bought used and there are several on-line and offline shops that sell used glob club sets or even used golf clubs. These shops sell branded and high end golf sets at a discount to the original prices as these are pre-owned. But there are certain things that you should be careful about before you go ahead and start looking for used equipment.

Golfers know that grooves on a golf club are what is really needed for a golf ball to be driven further and with a spin. That means that when you start your hunt for golf club or club sets then you need to buy clubs that have good club face which means that they have good grooves on the club face.

The next important area for golf club is the shaft and the shaft needs to be closely inspected when buying the used golf clubs. Close inspection is a must for the shafts as the cracks in the shaft may not be easily detected with the naked eye. There are two types of shaft available which are graphite shaft and the metal shaft. Each has its own characteristics and you need to be aware of the way they work so as to eliminate any chances that you will get a faulty shaft when buying the used golf clubs.

The golf club is held with a grip on the top of the golf club and that grip can be an important factor for you as a golfer. If the grip is worn and damaged then my suggestion would be to try buying the new one or try some other used golf club.

If you are buying on-line then get the pictures of the club face , shaft and the grip individually so that you are reasonably sure about the quality of the golf club you are buying. Also make sure that you have the right to return if you do not find the club satisfactory. It will save you a lot of agony and hassle later.

Buying used golf clubs is definitely a money saver but there are some risks attached to it.

The author is an advocate of buying used equipment for golfing and he also goes for buying used corporate logo golf balls to cut costs. Used corporate logo golf balls are usually available online at great prices if you buy in bulk.

The wait is over! You can now download wii games online...this is a day that gamers have been waiting for over a year. Have you already found a place to download games for your wii? I would venture to say no...I have found the best places and wanted to tell anyone that would listen about them.

Nintendo definitely hit the jackpot with the wii. People were standing in line over the holiday season to be the first to get their hands on the console...some paid as much as a thousand dollars or more on sites like ebay just to have one under the tree Christmas morning.

You no longer have to be one of the people standing in line at your nearest walmart or other retail outlet to get games though...you can simply download them online. There are a couple of things to keep in mind when selecting the right sight to download wii games though.

The first thing you want to take into consideration is...is the site legal? Don't find yourself on the wrong site of the law for a few games. There are legal sites out there that offer the service which we will talk about a little bit later.

Another important thing to look out for...is the site clean? I'm talking about viruses. Downloading a file with a virus is not only harmful to your PC but, also remember that your wii console in itself is a computer and is vulnerable to the same malicious files that your personal computer is. You always want to download from a trusted source.

Lastly, I look for a large variety of games. Luckily, I have been able to find a site that gives access to just about every single game that has been released for the wii. It took a lot of research and some trial and error but, I was lucky enough to find exactly what I was looking for it a wii download site. There are a lot of sites out there...sadly, they do not all deliver what they promise.

If you are looking for a source to download wii games I would recommend that you check out my list of the best sites to DOWLOAD WII GAMES ONLINE

AP - Seven Puget Sound killer whales are missing and presumed dead in what could be the biggest decline among the sound's orcas in nearly a decade, say scientists who carefully track the endangered animals.

A Video Game Tester is responsible for testing all manner of computer games normally the beta versions and pre release games. At first glance to be a Video Game Tester seems like everyone dream come true and it can be, but the purpose of this article is to tell you a bit more about what the Video Game Tester and the other side of the work it involves as it is not all fun and games.

As mentioned above the Video Game Tester has to test games and is normally given some sort of report to fill in while playing the game, this can deal with level design or game structure also the main things that the game producers will want info on is playability and whether the game is entertaining enough.

Another common myth about a Video Game Tester is you just get to play games all day and although this is true, you will probably spend longer than you normally do on a game as you will have to play the same levels over and over to search for bugs and glitches.

To be a Video Game Tester you will need to have a tremendous amount of patience and attention to detail and really enjoy video games! That said it is possible to make a lot of money as a Video Game Tester and some Video Game Testers get paid up to $80 an hour for testing the top games.

Normally though for your first job as a video game tester you will only receive a very basic wage normally $5 an hour, but as your experience grows you will get bigger jobs and thus more income.

The good thing about starting as a Video Game Tester is you can do it part time while still at work or school and find out whether the job is for you first. The hardest thing now is finding a Video Game Tester job and I would suggest you look around online for game development companies and check their jobs boards and see if they are hiring.

Be under no illusions though a Video Game Tester job can be immensely fun and also very frustrating and I would honestly say being a video game tester might not be for everyone. That said if you are serious about being a Video Game Tester and think you will not get bored with testing all those games go for it!

I hope this article has told you a bit more about the Video Game Tester and his role in the gaming world.

Happy Gaming!

border="0" />AP - It was the cradle of Jennifer Hudson's greatest triumphs. It's now the scene of her darkest hour.

There are numerous Nintendo DS Slot 1 Solutions on the market today. With two of the most noteable ones being the R4 DS slot 1 solution and the M3 DS Simply. The favorite of the two it would seem is the M3 DS Simply. Often out of stock at many online retailers. A little known fact however could have you up and playing without worrying about the item being out of stock. I say this because my reasearch has shown me (and confirmed by the manufacturers themselves) that the R4 DS and the M3 DS Simply are virtually identical to each other in both features and functions.

Both the M3 DS and the R4 DS Slot 1 solution are manufactured by the same people - or at the very least - the same factory. What this means for gamers and homebrew enthusiasts is that they can get their hands on the R4 DS and know that they're getting the exact same product they'd be getting if they bought the M3 DS Simply at another shop.

You see, the R4 DS and M3 DS Simply are EXACTLY the same. The only difference between the two units is the packaging and the logo that is displayed on the main screen when you boot up your Nintendo DS or DS Lite. Functionality, features, even firmware upgrades and updates are released at the same time, and it seems all of the features and functions in each update are identical to the other. Whether you get the M3 DS Simply, or the R4 DS Slot 1 Solution, you're going to essentially get exactly the same things - everything you need to load games, homebrew and applications is included in the box.

The R4 DS Slot 1 Solution Package

It's almost a dead giveaway here, except for the fact that the R4 DS comes in it's own R4 DS Box. But you'll notice that once you open the box, the contents of the box are identical to the M3 DS Simply, you even get the same light blue colored keychain / carry case that comes with the M3 DS simply. You get everything you need, right out of the box. This includes the R4 DS slot 1 cartridge, a USB microSD Reader / writer (and this actually allows you to use your microSD as a USB Drive) as well as the keychain carrying case and the software CD.

Setting up the R4 DS is easy

Setup is as simple as can be. The included instruction manual (which is located on the CD itself) details exactly what you need to do in order to get your R4 DS working. The first thing you'll have to do, is insert the microSD Card (not included - but you can buy this anywhere) into the micrSD reader / writer and plug it into any free USB port on your computer. It will instantly come up as a portable drive / flash drive. Here, you can do one of two things. You can either copy the software from the CD, as stated in the manual to the microSD card to put all of the system files on it. I would recommend though that you go to the R4 DS firmware page, and download the latest drivers, as they are often updated there.

Once you've copied your system files to the micro SD Card, it's time to load the games and homebrew applications you'd like to play. Again, this works the exact same way with the M3 DS simply, no difference between the two units at all. Simply copy and paste the files from your PC that you want on the microSD card. A simply drag and drop is all that is needed. The games and homebrew applications work without any patching or fixing or compression. They work as they are, right out of the box so to speak.

Now that you've copied your system files, and the files you'd like to use and play, it's time to put your microSD card into the slot on the top of the R4 DS cartridge. The R4 DS Cartidge is the same size as any standard Nintendo DS or DS Lite game cartirge, so there's no bulging or sticking out once it's inserted into the cartridge slot on your NDS. The micro SD slot is located on the top of the R4 DS and it is actually spring loaded. The microSD card inserts into the slot with the SD label on the opposite side of the actual R4 DS Cartidge label. You'll hear a CLICK sound once you've inserted the microSD Card into the slot, this is to let you know that it is in place, and you're set to turn on your Nintendo DS console. The microSD card fits perfectly flush against the R4 casing.

Once you've turned on your Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS lite, the system files will load from the R4 DS cartridge, exactly the same way they do when using the M3 DS Simply. It takes about 2 seconds for the main menu to appear, with the R4 DS logo on the top screen, and the menu on the bottom. On the bottom screen you can select one of 3 options.

1. GAME MENU - When you select this menu, you'll be instantly taken to a list of all of the game files, homebrew applications, etc.. that you've stored on your microSD card. You can use the controller pad on the NDS to select the file you want to load. If you're loading a game for the first time, you'll be prompted, after selecting the game, to confirm that you want to create a save file for the game. This is needed if you want to save you game. Your game saves are stored on the same microSD card as the game files themselves - this is fantastic if you want to delete those games later, to replace with other files, as you can copy your save game files back to your PC, for future use when you're ready to continue playing that game again.

2. MULTIMEDIA MENU - When you select this second option, you'll launch the multi media player / moonshell. Within this menu, you're able to look at digital photos stored on the microSD Card, listen to your favorite MP3 Songs, watch movies that you've converted from DVD with the included software, as well as read ebooks in TXT format. This essentially turns your Nintendo DS or DS Lite into a full blown multi media entertainment unit.

3. BOOT SLOT 2 - This menu option allows the R4 DS, just like the M3 DS, to boot the GBA Slot, or Slot 2, in your Nintendo DS / DS Lite console. This is for those of us that also want to get our hands on a GBA Flash card, and want to run GBA Homebrew games and applications as well as Nintendo DS. It also adds extra storage for NDS Homebrew, because you can actually use a GBA Flash card to boot NDS files, as long as you use the R4 DS as a PASSME / PASSCARD solution.

All in all, no matter which one you get, both the R4 DS Slot 1 Solution as well as the M3 DS Simply are excellent accessories for the Nintendo DS / DS Lite. Which one you get should only depend on which model is in stock. As stated earlier in this article, the two units are identical in every way. The only difference being the box packaging and the logo that appears when you first boot up your Nintendo DS console.

There are literally hundreds of FREE homebrew Nintendo DS games available online. Many of them rivaling commercial games in both gameplay and graphics / music. In order to play these free homebrew games you'll have to either purchase an R4 DS or and M3 DS simply. Find out more about both of these homebrew game players at http://www.ps2cover.com/nintendo-ds.shtml

The Nintendo Wii Sports is one of the best games ever developed by Nintendo because of the different sports featured in every game and the special controller that comes with some sports like baseball and golf. This special feature in a Nintendo Wii Sports game consists of placing the player into the virtual field where he swings, kicks, and throws just like a normal athlete would do using the specially designed Wiimote. This immersion in realism, a concept now being adapted by leading game companies, has become the "in - thing" for gamers as it deviates from the usual gamepad control.

If you're looking for the Nintendo Wii Sports game that suits your interest best, the first thing you can do is to look through good websites that feature those games and read the reviews done about them. This way, you will be able to find out which game features your favourite sport and can download them for your enjoyment. If you're a golf fan, you could search for a good golf game for Wii and pick out which one seems interesting to you and to others as well. Reviews of that certain game from professional gamers can also help in your choice. All kinds of help and advice are available in Wii related websites, so just keep reading and your options open.

As the gaming industry continues to improve the quality of its games, there will be much to expect from Nintendo due to the Nintendo Wii Sports game success. Wii downloading websites are always updating with every new release and will offer more and more to consumers who are looking for good games to add to their ever-growing games collection.

So you want to power level your Horde toon, but you just are not sure how to do it or where to start. You bought a power leveling guide for the Horde, but it only allows you to play a hunter toon or it does not cover all the races and you just do not want to play a troll. Now, you have spent the money, and you are still sitting there, wondering what to do. Well, don't worry too much longer, here are a few power leveling secrets to get you started:

1. You don't have to do every quest in an area. Yes, that's right... you do not have to do every quest in every area. There are some quests that are simply a waste of time and take you too long to do that do not reward you enough. Professional power leveling companies know this, and now you do too.

2. Always group your quests together. Take a look at your quest log and see which quests are in the same areas of a zone. For example, if you see that you have three quests to the southwest of the Crossroads, do them all at the same time. This cuts way down on your play time, and maximizes your experience when you are going them. If you need to keep a sheet of paper near to write down what all you are after in one zone, do it. You will be amazed at how this simple tip can help you power level.

3. The Barrens is your power leveling friend! Most players who play undead or other races that end up by Undercity after their noob zones go on to play in Silverpine Forest and Hillsbrad to level to 20. But, this is NOT the place to do it. The Barrens is where all the power levelers hit to go from 12-20 in no time at all for almost all the Horde races except the Blood Elves. The quests that are in the Barrens have you kill many mobs at a time for your quests, which maximizes the xp you get from the quest.

4. Thousand Needles, Stonetalon Mountains, and Un'Goro Crater are some of the best places to farm mats for gold while you power level. Yep, professional power levelers know this - and now so do you. These three areas are overfilled with mining, herbs, and skinning and you can make tons of gold here while you are power leveling. So, not only will you be leveling your Horde toon at lightning speed, you will be raking in the gold while you do it.

5. Horde toons are the easiest to power level. It is an unspoken secret that Blizzard likes the Horde best... and most players figure this out pretty quickly. Horde toons are the easiest to power level because there are more quests for them to do, versus the Alliance who sometimes have to grind out a level before they can get more quests.

So, there you have it - 5 secrets to power leveling that you need to know. Of course, there are so many more secrets, and they are all in Flamewater's Horde Power Leveling Guide . When you are ready to power level your Horde toon to 70 in less than 15 days, check it out at http://www.HordePowerLevelingSecrets.com and find out all the secrets that those foreign power leveling companies don't want you to know!

Wondering how you can download free PSP games?

You are just a few mouse clicks away.

To start with, you will need a PSP that is version 1.5 or higher. A computer, either Windows or Mac, is also needed along with a high speed USB 2.0 cable. The final requirement is, of course, your own games and music files.

If you've decided to download free PSP games from a an illegal site, beware.

However, you can also download free PSP games, music and movie files from just about any source including CDs, DVDs or even your computer.

To build your PSP library, it's a good idea to buy a bigger memory stick, because the stock one is only 32MB. A 512MB or bigger memory stick is a must if you really want to download free PSP games.

Step 1: Prepare the files for a transfer

Select the movies, PSP games or music files that you want to have on your PSP and then transfer them to your PC. You can do this after ripping them from a CD or a DVD or downloading them from a site.

Step 2: Connect the PSP to the computer

Here you need to connect your PSP and your PC. This can be done by turning on the PSP and subsequently putting it in the USB connect mode. A high speed USB cable is required to connect the computer and the PSP, and without one you will have no luck trying to download free psp games.

Click Start on the computer and go to My Computer. The name of the PSP would vary from computers and its appearance would also depend on how many drives are already associated with the computer.

On a Mac the PSP may show up as a Removable Drive and at times it may show up as Drive E.

Step 3: Finally, It's Time To Download Free PSP Games!

Next you have to navigate all the folders that are within the PSP and download free PSP games to the right folder. Find the Video, Games or Music folders, then drag and drop the files where they belong.

Step 4: Play, Watch, Listen and Enjoy

Remove the USB cable and take it out of "USB CONNECT" mode after you've put the files onto your PSP. The only thing left is to enjoy! You can also find your video, music and games folders in the Memory Stick.

So, now that you know how to download free PSP games from your PC into your PSP, start downloading and enjoying unlimited entertainment.
