Super Stardust Delta, Unit 13, Reality Fighters and FIFA

Having purchased the "Kitchen Sink" model (3G + WiFi), I am impressed and can safely say that this is in my opinion a worthy successor to the PSP. Unfortunately whilst sounding good on paper when you add up the hardware specs, I honestly feel the Vita is somewhat of a "Hit'N'Miss" affair as Sony have made some poor decisions on the firmware end of the unit that I feel do not embrace what this technological marvel is truly capable of. These are just some examples of Hits and Misses... Hit - Innovative controls - Note: The Analog sticks are perfectly fine... Just like the Original Dual-Shock and PSP, it all requires a certain discipline when mastering the controls. Hit - Processing Power! - a good example is comparing Modnation Racers for both PSP and Vita... When creating tracks the I found PSP crashed round the time you even tried to piece together anything more than basic. The Vita holds its own well as it tries to give it's "Big Brother" (PS3) a run for it's money. Miss - Substandard web browser - On wifi it's about the same as using a PSP... No Flash and rather sloppy compared to surfing on the iPhone. Miss - 3G Connectivity - Whilst this might be a hit for you hip pocket, it's really a miss in the way of making the most of what you have... The the 3G is useless for downloading content from PSP as the download is capped to point where it's a waste of time demo hunting and shopping without a wifi connection. But not being able to play via 3G is definitely as waste of good tech. With the usage level this little monster will burn a hole in your pocket just by sitting in your pocket with the amount of data it chews, which is why I would strongly advise signing your Vitas up over a Pre-Paid contract - No they're not locked into a single provider, I checked with SCE Australia and while Vodaphone who they're going with Vodaphone is the "Preferred" carrier as it is written on the pamphlet... meaning you can sign with whomever you want (at least here Down Under). Overall Sony has got a stunning design in terms of hardware, but how they've chosen to use it does little in showing how much they appreciate their own creation. Sony really need to consider a redesign in the Vita's firmware and launch it as a major system update if they are to truly make the most out of this incredible machine.

On a final note - As for competition I truly believe Vita's "Real" adversary is NOT the 3DS, but is to come from Razer - Currently known as Project Fiona. In saying that the Vita is no handheld, but a Gaming PAD (Smart Phone, Tablet PC, etc).

More than likely most of you will already be aware of the grip styles used for mice, now for someone like myself who has just being using the mouse in the most comfortable way possible by cupping it in hand... Anyway, I put this one to you. What style do you prefer? What kind of mouse (or mice) do you use?

Personally I've been one to apply the Palm Grip, although I do prefer versatility over any specific style. Recently I have just picked up a Naga Epic and I use that along side my Magic Mouse I use for everything else, although I used to use an MX512 for gaming.

Now since hearing C&C has gone from being "The Godfather" of RTS to just another spiffy looking RTT game, that alone was enough to disappoint. That's got me thinking about the good times of C&C and appreciating the better installments of the franchise. Which leads me to this topic and poll...

Which is your favourite series of the Command & Conquer franchise and why?

For me personally I love the Generals series, especially Zero:Hour since you can have stupidly huge and unrestricted battles... A LAN Party favourite ;-D

I may sound like a complete noob here for asking this. I have had my suspicions as to what the diffence is between the two archictectures, but never any solid ideas. What I do know about this is you have both 32 / 64 Bit CPUs and operating systems.

What are the differences between 32 and 64 Bit?
