Has Console Killed PC Gaming


Increase in use of gaming console have put PC gaming somewhere behind. Whenever we talk about high graphics game, first thing that comes in the mind of gamers and developers is gaming console.



PC gaming market does not look that much healthy to compete with gaming consoles. Very possible reason could be PC hardware. Latest games require latest hardware configurations and that is not easy to be found in every PC that is why gamers are switching towards gaming console as it matches the basic requirements by any high graphics game. Integrated graphic features available in PC are of no use for gamers who like to play highly animated games. Another problem with the motherboard of PC is absence of AGP or PCIE slot that makes it impossible to add external graphics card. No one will go for such computer system that does not even support normal graphic games. Gaming consoles like PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360 are designed in such a way that they support almost all kind of 2D, 3D games without any problem.



If you want, you can enhance the gaming features of your PC by adding required hardware and software to it but that is not very cost effective. You can’t get PC on cheap price and after that if you need to spend another few bucks just to upgrade your PC for gaming, it’s of no use. Instead you can use the same amount to buy a good quality and branded gaming console with warranty. Gaming console has rare chance for upgrading its configuration or software but we can’t say the same in case of PC. In computer’s world, configuration keeps changing frequently. Hardware keeps becoming more advanced and games become more in demand. That makes most of the gamers to think that they need new PC with good configuration in order to play new 3D or high graphic games.

You can keep upgrading your PC by adding RAM, video card, graphic card but as your system ages you need to change the processor and that is like buying a new PC again. For most of us PC could be the best platform for gaming but such category can get extinct if proper hardware and better configuration PC s are not available at affordable price. Some changes need to be done in PCs so that like gaming consoles, PCs too should be upgraded very rarely especially for gaming. Gaming consoles are graphically very much attractive and they come with online components that are quite cheap to buy. I am sure that if you search on the net for the best gaming device option you will never get one within your budget and requirement.


In order to bring back the same age of PC gaming, manufacturers have to think from gaming point of view or else that day is not far when people would know that only possible device available for gaming is console device and not PC.

Frozen Candy


This holiday season, Avox Games came out with an outstanding match-3 puzzle game called Frozen Candy. The game looks very similar to the well known puzzler “Puzzle Bobble”. In fact, instead of the good old dinosaur Bub has been replaced by Brian Poesehn look alike of an elf for the ball firing duty. Therefore, anyone can be fooled to think it is a complete copy of the game. Nevertheless, once you start playing the game though, you can find that the mechanics of the game are different and unique allowing frozen Candy to shine as its own creation, thereby making for something that feels both novel and familiar.





The game play involves pointing and clicking the mouse to shoot the frozen candy pieces. All matching colors of candy at the same stretch are cleared from the board. However, it isn’t that simple, there are some interesting twists in the game. Firstly, you will only have a limited number of balls to shoot, something which is generally associated with snooding than with move-busting. Secondly, the physics of the game are intentionally slippery. For example, a fired candy will stick to the candy where it lands but the momentum of the candy signifies that it may circle around and come in touch with other candies. Thirdly, there is a timer denoted by a temperature gauge - so as time passes by, the temperature will keep rising, there by melting the ice and making the ‘frozen candy” less frozen to the top and therefore making it more likely to be influenced by gravity. One should experience the game by playing it hands on. The feel of the game is very different and cannot be described. It is intuitive and takes some time getting used to, but the game provides for an ultimate and enjoyable experience.


Frozen Candy is a complete visual and audio treat to the eyes, ears and brains. Even if you face defeat or seem to get unlucky while playing the game or if the candy limit feels a tad too frugal, the cool pseudo-3D visuals and pleasant sounds just compensate for it. The game provides a genuine sense of Christmas cheer with its amazing and satisfying sound effects that pops up whenever candies are cleared from the board. Just watch out for the overly touchy firing. If you hold the mouse button even for a second longer, it will shoot a stream of candies which can be very inconvenient and disappointing.


Overall, while Frozen Candy may appear less original than it actually is, it is undoubtedly a charming game that can be enjoyed by all. It surely is a perfect and fun game to play during this holiday season. The game definitely will get the holiday spirits soaring to heights.
