Other Ways to Game
Nintendo Wii
Now that Nintendo has launched the Wii U, you might wonder if there's any point to get a Nintendo Wii.
If you're on a budget, it's a great buy thanks to included games and
its lowest price yet. The $129.99 Nintendo Wii Sports & Sports
Resort Bundle includes the system, a remote and nunchuk, and two great
games. You need to buy another remote if you want to enjoy multiplayer
(besides bowling in Wii Sports), but even then you'll get a party-ready
game system for the price of a Nintendo 3DS.PC
Your
computer can play plenty of games, even if you don't have a high-end
system. New releases are available for top-of-the-line PCs, but every
computer can run PC gaming classics. The best thing is you don't have to
go anywhere to buy these games. Our roundup of digital game distribution stores lists several great ways to buy and download games, from Wolfenstein 3D to Dishonored, directly to your computer.OnLive
OnLive
offers several console and PC games through a cloud-based streaming
system. When you buy a game or subscribe to a bundle on OnLive, you
don't download anything or get any physical media, but instead use your
computer, the OnLive MicroConsole,
or a growing list of compatible devices as a client that sends out your
commands and shows you audio and video from the game as processed
through OnLive's own systems. OnLive works well enough, but video
quality is lower than with locally played games, and you can run into
some lag problems. Even if it's not perfect, OnLive provides a very
functional game experience, making it a viable option. OnLive underwent
an internal upheaval over the last year involving a buyout and
restructuring, but the service is still active and offers current games.Read also
