With rumors of a new iPad maybe about to come out in January, Research in Motion, producer of the popular Blackberry phones, has announced its first tablet, the BlackBerry Playbook.
Blackberry said that the main reason this tablet was created for people in business, which is a little bit different than the iPad's approach. However, with only a 7 inch display, typing maybe a bit hard. The tablet does contain a front-facing camera and a camera on the back, which should entice a few more buyers to purchase the it.
Looking at the specs, what most people want to figure out is if this video is better than the iPad. It's price is supposed to be in around the same range, but the Blackberry has full Adobe Flash support, and has the nice cameras. It also has the great looking new Blackberry Tablet OS. However, the tablet has a few HUGE drawbacks. Only supporting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for Internet coverage is probably the biggest disappointment. Another one is the small list of Blackberry apps; using apps on a tablet is one of the most popular things that tablet users do. And, the screen size is a little bit weird, making it a bit bigger than a phone, but not really on tablet level.
Even though the PlayBook has brought in some new interesting features, such as the great new looking OS, but in the end, the iPad still wins out, with it's great screen size, much bigger list of apps, and its internet connectivity.

Screen Record Test and Darksiders Gameplay
Since I have a jailbroken iPod Touch, I decided to try to screen record it. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uStNAOUgm1g (LINK HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN BY OUR CHANNEL) HOWEVER, if you want to find out how to do it, just check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LNtX30Grvo
As you could see, the quality wasn't that great. So you obviously shouldn't jailbreak your iPod Touch or iPhone just to screen record it!
Anyways, we have some gameplay of a post-apocalyptic game called Darksiders for you to enjoy. Is the game just all killing, or does it actually have a good storyline? Find out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5zwQuhKzEY

Top Must Have Games for Gamers
Sandbox Mode Games:
In sandbox mode games, there are usually missions, but one of the best features is that you can basically do anything, as everything is interactive. Here are a few of the best:
Red Dead Redemption:
Featuring an easy to follow, yet thrilling storyline, which contains different cutscenes and outcomes based on what you do (kill the man or spare him), the campaign mode of the game is great. There's lots of things you can do in the old wild west, such as tracking down bandits and controlling your farm. Online is also great, with games of up to sixteen players. One of the best games of the decade.
Rating: 9.9
Just Cause 2:
Blow everything up in Just Cause 2. In Just Cause 2, one of the main things you can do is blow things up, and interact with a lot of different objects. The missions aren't anything special, but the huge amount of things you can use and interact with on the island of Panau are endless.
Rating 7.9
Best Wii Games:
Almost 1/3 of every family in the United States owns this hugely popular console, but many console owners say they don't actually use it that much. Here are some of the best Wii games to get you back on the console.
Mario Kart:
A racing classic, Mario Kart features easy to pick up controls, and fun for experienced and novice gamers. Use a variety of "weapons," and connect easily online to have even more fun. Great for parties.
Rating:7.9
Wii Play:
Many people think that Wii play is much to kiddish, but that's exactly what makes it fun. The games are extremely interesting and surprisingly addicting.
Rating:8.2
Wii Sports:
The controls, like a lot of Wii games, are easy to pick up and play. However, there is a huge resort to explore, and lots of addicting and satisfying games to play. Probably the best Wii game and one of the best games released this year.
Rating:9.4
Best Unknown Games:
A lot of times, you just need to get to know a game to realize how fun it can be. Here are a few:
Mafia 2:
With an extremely gripping and emotional storyline, you sometimes feel you're in a movie theater. The only complaint is that there is a bit too much driving to destinations.
Rating:8.3
Unreal Tournament 3: Titan Pack
If you're looking for a magical shooting game, UT is the one. Featuring awesome weapons like Ray and Flak guns, get online and get some frags.
Of course, there are a lot of categories that we didn't list, such as best shooting game and best racing game. However, we look to make more of these lists in the future.
