Assassin’s Creed Xbox 360 vs PS3 video comparison. Which do you think looks better?

November 19th, 2007 by astrotriforce

Assassin's Creed for Xbox 360Assassin’s Creed is finally out to impress gamers everywhere. Like many third-party titles lately, the game is available for either the Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3.

Both systems are very powerful although Sony has trumped up the fact that the PS3 is the most powerful as far as raw horse-power is concerned.

But how does that translate to the actual games themselves? Find out in this video comparison of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Assassin’s Creed.

It’s obvious to tell that the Xbox 360 version CLEARLY (pun not intended) looks better. The PS3 version has a “washed out” look to it, although I suppose it can come down to personal preference, but the clarity of the Xbox 360 version makes it seem more detailed than the PS3 version. Very interesting indeed.

While PC gamers can adjust their graphics power in the game. Let’s compare the two standardized console versions of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360: Scene for scene, screen for screen. Can you spot a difference?


Let’s hope this settles “my console is better than yours” debate, because they look equal. Just enjoy the game, it’s getting A and A+ ratings all over the board.

NBA 2K8 PS3 vs Xbox 360 comparison

So what does the latest multiplatform basketball game look like on both 360 & PS3? Uhhh . . . just about identical! Another comparison video has surfaced showing NBA 2K8 split-screen, side-by-side running on both the Xbox 360 and the PS3. Like the last Madden NFL 08 Xbox 360 vs PS3 comparison, you will be hard-pressed to find any kind of significant graphical difference between the two platforms.

This somewhat surprises me given how much Sony has hyped how much more powerful the Playstation 3 is over the Xbox 360. Granted these games were built to be multiplatform. But it’s an interesting point to make none-the-less.

Watch this comparison video in HD.

Super Mario Galaxy versus Super Mario Sunshine

January 1st, 1970 by Candace Savino

This video is making its way around the internets, showing some of the similarities between Super Mario Galaxy and the GameCube's Super Mario Sunshine. We really never realized how similar the two were, but that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of differences as well.

Where do you think Galaxy separates itself most from Sunshine? Is it the gameplay, perhaps the music, or something else? Or do you think that they're just too alike for their own good?
