Job 4 (Connect two consoles via LAN)

The game we will be using the LAN on will be Vegas 2, some games and console will be slightly different to set up and is basically the same layout for every game and console, just showed in a different way  

Step 1 (Inset your Game)

First you will need to insert the game you wish to play on your LAN, once the game has loaded on the PS3 select it from your game menu and wait for the game to load to the main menu

Step 2 (Choose LAN from the Menu)

Duppending on your game the layout might be different so check with your game's case menu to find the LAN feature, then either choose 'New LAN' or choose a saved LAN on the console


Note*
on this set up we are using WiFi within the console, on older machines without WiFi connection you may have to connect an Ethernet cable between the consoles

Step 3 (Sign-in to the LAN)

When you have selected a LAN to play on you may have to sign in or if its a new connection you may have to set it up, this is a fairly straight forward to complete

Step 4 (Setting up a Game)

With a LAN connection you can either be the Host (Controls the game settings) or you can be the Joiner (Leaches into a game already set up)

Here we will be the Host of the game and this page depending on you game will require you to set up time limits, weapons allowed, map, and more options

Step 5 (Loading)

Now you will have to wait for other people to connect to your game within your network and wait for the game to load, this is the last step into creating a LAN

Job 1 (Connect a PS3)

Connecting a console to a TV system, Today I will be talking about how to connect a PS3 console to a TV setup, Many consoles have the same layout and set up as this, Follow the steps carefully to ensure the consoles functionality


Step 1 (Connecting Power to the TV Unit)

First you need to make sure your TV is connected and working correctly, before we do this we need to plug the TV from the DC port to the wall outlet, some TV sets are slightly different when it comes to this step so always refer to your TV instructions and Precautions













Step 2 (Connecting your TV Adapter to the Wall Outlet)

The second step to connecting your console is to make sure your TV is securely plugged into a wall outlet suitable for your TV set when the plugs securely in the wall then proceed to switch it on

Step 3 (Check your Connections)

You always need to check what connections your dealing with and the best way is to physically hold up the console and look what ports go where, as we can see we have

• Network Port (Ethernet)
• Optical Port (Audio)
• HDMI Port
• RGB Port
• DC Power Outlet 

Step 4 (Connect your DC Cable to your PS3)

Now you need to connect the power outlet cable to your PS3, but you need to make sure this isn't connected to the wall outlet because it might cause a risk of electric shock

Step 5 (Connecting your PS3 to the Wall Outlet)

Now its safe to connect your DC power lead to the wall outlet, be sure to make sure you have a secure connection before you switch the socket on

Step 6 (Connecting the RGB Cables to the TV)

Now you can connect your PS3/Console to your TV a number of ways, you could go for a HDMI cable for a full high definition picture, you can connect though component for a HD ready effect picture, or you can connect via Scart/RGB for a standard picture resolution.

We are going to connect though standard RGB picture (colour cables). You first need to connect the colours with the corresponding outlets on your TV and make sure you have a secure fit

Yellow - Video
Red - Right Audio
White - Left Audio

Step 7 (Connecting your Console to the RGB Port on your System)

Next we need to connect the RGB cable to your console, you do this by connecting the other end to the RGB port on the back of the PS3 console (if you are using HDMI, the port is situated next to the RGB port)

Step 8 (Turning on)

The last step is to now turn out console on and set the AV source on your TV to play though either the HDMI or AV ports on your TV, mine was already set up so as soon as my TV was on and PS3 console was on they connected together displaying a picture from the PS3

About Myself

Hi, my name is Jack Robinson, and currently I am studying in Fareham College on the IT gaming and computing level 3, and now we are starting to look at games and how they work, developed, and how people revise them

When I finish this current course, I am hoping to get a full time job in the IT hardware industry, as this course will help with my references and knowledge towards this area

I don’t play a lot of games, I don’t even play games on the web (Flash Games), but when I do, it’s currently on the Xbox 360 platform, but I play games such as,

· Counter Strike Source (PC)

· Call of Duty series (Xbox 360)

Modern warfare

Mdern warfare 2

Back ops

Back ops 2

· Grand Theft Auto series (PC)

Vice city

San Andreas

I'm also into the saw series and James bond series on Xbox 360, I play PS3, but I’m not a big gamer but I have owned selection of gaming platforms such as

· Nintendo (N64, Wii, Wii-U, Game boy)

· Sony (Play station 2 and 3)

· PC

· Xbox 360

My earliest gaming memory has got to be on the Nintendo 64 playing the game Zelda or even James Bond 007, I used to play these games with my dad and he would help me complete the levels as I was at a young age, but one of the best game's was Mario 64, but in my opinion I really dislike the Wii console, just because it’s more of a family game where people is involved and involves physical enjoyment, rather than holding a controller and relaxing

I have tried various mods, especially on the Xbox 360, where I have performed a j-tag mod, flashing of disk drives, modding in game play on call of duty 4 and modern warfare 2, I have created a laser mod on various guns and played them online with a hidden IP, so cannot be 'banned' or tracked, and they all had their problems but I managed to overcome them with help of my friends and the internet, a lot of modding is trial and error

Welcome

Welcome to my Blog, I have been asked to create a blog in Reviewing Games in assistance to my coursework, I will be keeping you updated regually with new posts and videos reviewing the latest games

Thanks for viewing,
