Choose your battlefield

Welcome back to my blog. Today and for a while after this I would like to train you on 

how to battle in this world of gaming. Yes, gaming is a battle. You can either battle against the 

computer (also known as the CPU), your friends, players from around the world, or just yourself. 

Now I'm positive that you want to be a master knight in this battle, right? Awesome! Now I want to 

help train you to fight with some tips and tricks on what game console and video games in general 

that would be best for you, and what weapons (aka controllers) you should acquire that will best suite

 you. First lets start by discussing about the major battlefields, or gaming consoles, that everyone is

using in this generation.


First console: PlayStation by Sony. 
Consoles: PlayStation 1, 2, 3, 4, 4S, PSP

As many of you know, Sony has created 5 

game consoles of their own, starting with the 

PlayStation 1 to the PlayStation 4s, or the 

PlayStation slim as some people call it. It is a 

rival of Nintendo's Entertainment System. The 

PlayStation is highly different when it comes to its controllers and online gaming service. Its 

controllers is smaller than the Xbox and Nintendo controllers, but it makes it easier for reaching it 

joy-sticks, which are located toward the bottom of the controller, not so much the top as with the 

Xbox controller and Wii U pro controller. The console's processor and resolution has increased 

greatly generation after generation, keeping up with the likes of its users and its

competition, Xbox and Nintendo.


Second console: Xbox by Microsoft.
Consoles: Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One S


Everyone knows the Xbox so well. It was the last of the three 

consoles to finally be created and released. What makes it 

different from the PlayStation and Nintendo you ask? Well first 

off the controller, which I have mentioned earlier, is bigger than usual and has its unique placement 

of their buttons. Also the console itself is bigger. Creating a big console shows to its customers (you) 

that it has a better process and has more room for downloading games. Even though this is not the 

case, this is what you see when you lay your eyes on the console every time you see it. As same with 

the PlayStation, the Xbox has been upgraded every generation with better resolution and online 

gaming to keep up with their gamers and competition.


Third console: Wii by Nintendo 
Consoles: Nintendo Entertainment System, Wii, Wii U, Nintendo DS

Last but not least, in my opinion, is Nintendo. 

Nintendo was the first biggest game console of

all time with its release of its Nintendo 

Entertainment System and Donkey Kong. 

Nintendo's Wii console was a huge hit when it 

was released in 2006, with its console being 

small and the ability to play with up to four 

players, everyone wanted in on this spectacular console, especially when it

comes to Mario Bros. When the Wii U was released in 2012 

Nintendo took a down turn. The new controller it has created, the 

Gamepad, was somewhat of a surprise. It is put together as their pro 

controller is, but with a 6.5 inch LED screen. Yes the controller was 

very well played, as in many reviews it was ranked higher than the 

PlayStation and Xbox controller overall, but what went wrong? 

Nintendo was not customer-oriented. The resolution on the console 

only goes up to 1080p and the storage only goes up to 32 GB of storage, compared to PlayStation's 

and Xbox's 4K resolution and 500 GB storage.


And there you have it, a small review on the three major battlefields of today. As you've read through

 this you've probably noticed I didn't discuss what games are available for which console, and that's 

because all the games vary from console to console. If you're more of a Call of Duty and Grand Theft

 Auto fan, you're probably going to want an Xbox or PlayStation. If you're of the Mario Bros. type 

and prefer more strategic gaming you probably might want to try the Wii U or Nintendo DS. Either

way its up to you. Need any more help? No problem. Stop by our center Knight of Games and we 

can help you pick out the right console and you can buy any game that you want, from Call of Duty: 

Black Ops 3 to Super Mario Maker. The choice is yours, so choose wisely!

  1. Loved your headline of the blog post! Really enjoyed that you used more than one image, and placed them nicely in the post - they all aligned to the right.
    Good content in the article - very informational to the audience.
    Last paragraph in the post should be left aligned.
    Also like that you promoted your twitter in the end.

  2. Strong heading, valuable topic that connects with your audience, and good information. Always left align and the spacing is funky again this week, which makes for too much scrolling. Why is your Twitter handle not @knightofgames? I'm confused.
