Halo 2 Tricks
by Doug Beavers
There are many tips and tricks when it comes to the popular
Xbox game Halo 2. You can easily get the upper hand on
your friends when playing the game if you know how to
utilize these handy tricks, as well as make it through
the levels much easier. The most obvious tip is to practice
all of the time. If you are by yourself, just go through
the multiplayer maps just to get a feel where everything
is located. That way, you will know where all of the good
weapons and hiding places are when you are competing against
your friends.
It is also a good idea to stay on high ground. This makes
it much easier to spot someone and jump on them unsuspectingly
and easily take them out. Surprise attacks are a very
good way to get an easy kill. You also have to remember
not to rule out the use of grenades. Often people will
forget that they possess these great little balls of destruction.
There are several skulls available to you in Halo 2 that
allow for special modes in the game play. The following
is a walkthrough of how to get the Blind Mode skull:
At the beginning of Outskirts, jump on top of the light
above the door with a crouch jump, then jump to the left
platform. If you turn to your left and go down the long
dark corridor, there should be a skull, pick it up. It
will say blind and your screen should flash black for
a while. You will not be able to see your weapon, body,
shields, ammo or radar in this mode. To get rid of it,
turn off your Xbox or save and quit. Go to Campaign and
select level and choose Cairo Station. Skip the cinematics
then save and quit. Go to Outskirt and everything should
be back.
There will be more tips and walkthroughs for the skulls
in articles to come. Or you can find many more good tips

XBOX 360 vs. PS3: An In Depth Look
by Tony James
All gamers are awaiting the release of the Xbox 360 and
the PS3. This article takes an in depth look at how the
two systems compare.
Graphics:
Everyone has seen an Xbox and a PS2 in action and we are
all waiting to see which of the two next generation consoles
for the two systems will have the edge when it comes to
graphics. We have all seen the screenshots of the games
on the two systems but what about actual gameplay graphics.
Despite the hot debate, when you look at the numbers the
two systems use a different but equally effective method
of delivering graphics processing power. The XBOX uses
a custom ATI processor with 48 graphics pipelines and
the PS2 has a custom NVIDA graphics processor with an
estimated 24 pipelines. The numbers are misleading because
the PS2 piplines are more powerful than the XBOX pipelines.
In the end the two different graphics processors will
deliver about the same amount of power, we can expect
to see impressive results from both sides.
