Now, in her latest column, Aleks asks if the PlayStation 3 could spell the end for Sony's dominance of the gaming 'hearts and minds'.

Let us know what you think about Aleks' views and what you would like her to focus on next.

    Wow, both of those articles are so old! I guess this doesn't get updated much at all! Either way, wii is fun, PS3 just needs some more games to come out for it, and as far as I can tell, if you don't like the games that are coming out, dont play them! No need to waste our time with a poorly written article about fantasy based games.

    If thiers one thing I'd do if I could is batter all those critics slaggin the PS3, I feel sorry for the thing and wouldn't hesitate to buy one evn if they were 700 quid, call me a nutcase all you want. The poor bugger's had evry negative comment thrown blindly at it the minuite it got out the door and, quite frankly, it's done nothin wrong whatsoever as far as Im concerned. It's not been given the chance to show it's abilities yet and, come on, expensive? when it was 425 quid I thought the price was stupidly cheap especially when you consider what you'd pay for a stndalone Blu-Ray player, nearly 1000 pounds for some of them I believe. OK so the Blu-Ray optical drive's a bit of a gamble but this could be put to good use if devs start exploiting its full potntial properly. The consoles a fabulous media centre too with it's web browser, upgradable HD(haha thiers somethin my 360 cant do without an overpriced proprietry Microsoft unit. and music and shopping facilities built right into the console, and online gaming's at least cheaper than 360 all be it not as good it oould evolve given half a shot. So I believe that it's capabilities aren't bein used to thier fullest, I mean look at GTA IV. Now I was readin in a mag somewhere that (apparently) the reason for such a long delays the fact that cause the game has to load seemlesly, the Blu-ray drive in particular on the PS3, struggles shoving that much data a second from the disc to where it's needed to keep that seemless nature goin without loadin screens. Well, as thier cant be any noticable difference betwween the two consoles, what's the most logical thing to do?, look at what The PC does when you load games, even GTA itself, stick the entire game on the Hard Disk, it has one, why not use it. OK so most folk dont want to have to sit and wait for the game to load onto the HD And it would take up space needlesly but, why not give yourself an easy time and concentrate on spendin more time workin on things that matter like the gameplay instead of focusin on how to get the game runnin on a system method that's still gonna be bottlenecked no matter how well you try and hide it. Bottom Line, Console has taken some inpirstion off the legendary PC(of which I own a gamin rig,have had for for a few years) so learn from what actually works and exploit the machines guts like they were designed for. What the heck do critics know about gamin anyway? OK maybe that was a bit harsh but really your gettin one journalists after another one dimensional viewpoint and basically all journalists do( well not quite all thier are one or two exceptions of course though few and far between) in my opinion is, like the papers, sensationalise and make a big drama and fuss about things without lookin at it from another guys perspective, take it from me, you tell Mr Joe Public on the street why he needs to load his game onto the hard drive and pretty certain when he considers the size of the game, he'll understand why and take heed of what your syin, he'll then understand why he needs to put up with the waitwhich wont be that long anyway.
