E4WII: Everything 4 Wii Game Downloads

In the last review, we looked at the E4XBOX 360 download site, which features downloadable Xbox 360 games. While that site is great for downloading Xbox games, what do we do for instant Wii game downloads?

Well, there's Unlimited Wii Downloads. I like this site, but I recently came upon one I like even more: E4Wii. E4Wii offers the biggest selection of downloadable Wii games that I've ever seen, because they tap into 9 different download sources.

Their downloads are all safe, tested, and contain no viruses or adware.

On top of that, E4Wii also includes a 40 minute video which shows you step by step how to set up your console for downloaded games. You will need to configure it for the homebrew channel software, but as you get instant access to this when you sign up, you can get started immediately.

Now, one word of caution: In order to download games to your Wii, you will need to be prepared to do some work. You won't need to buy a modchip, but you will have to configure it for homebrew games as mentioned above. This means that whatever download site you go with, you'll still have to do the initial work of getting your console set up for game downloads. It doesn't take long at all with E4Wii's service, which I like even better than BreWii and others.

So the bottom line:  Try out E4Wii if you want a fast and easy download service for Wii games that offers the most recent games available.  They have fantastic customer support that's on the ball and replies within 24 hours to all queries.  I tested them out and they got back to me about an hour after I emailed them.

Easy to Download and Burn Xbox Games

If you're looking for a place to download XBOX 360 games easily, Everything 4 360 is a great place to do it. I recently signed up for their service to test it out, and while I found their selection slightly lacking (they don't have some newer games that I've been looking for, for instance), I am impressed with the download speed and how easy it is to get games running. Their customer service is also excellent, quick, and on the ball. Their website layout is a little clunky, but their ease-of-use makes up for it.

Their downloads are all spyware and adware free, as they are commissioned and safe. You pay a flat $40 membership fee and get access to all the games on their site for life. So basically it's $40 to get any Xbox 360 game you want, provided you are willing to actually burn the games yourself. So you will need blank DVDs to actually get the games from your computer to your Xbox. You don't need any modchips to get these games to work, either.

Everything 4 360 is a great way to get instant access to all the games you could ever want to play on your Xbox 360. If you want a quick, easy, and safe download site for an affordable price, they're definitely the way to go.

R4 Cards and Downloading Games to Your DS

If you own a Nintendo DS, you may have wondered if there's a way to download games directly to it instead of having to buy hard copies of them.  Well, much like the Wii homebrew method, it is possible to directly download and play games through your DS.

The first thing you need to do this is an R4 card.  This is an amazing little device that lets you unlock all kinds of possibilities with your DS, such as playing DVDs, downloaded movies, music, homebrew games, and downloaded games.  Ideally the R4 card you choose will have a micro SD card and flash drive, for maximum storage and speed.

Now, once you have your R4 card, the next step is to find a reputable download site.  Much like downloadable movies, you have to be VERY careful where you download games for your DS.  The web is crawling with pirated content and most of it contains viruses.  You don't want to infect your DS by downloading a corrupt file, so it's wisest to choose paid sites where you pay a one time membership fee or a fee per game, and then have access to safe, affordable downloads.

I recently purchased a DS for a friend as a Christmas gift and am doing the pre-work of setting it up for homebrew games and movies, so I chose Unlimited DS Downloads

Now, there are a couple things about this site.  It doesn't look like it's written by a native English speaker, since there are some strange syntax problems scattered throughout it.  However, I decided to go ahead and try it because I'd read good reviews and it was actually recommended to me by someone else.

Basically, once you sign up for the site, you pay a membership fee to get access to the downloads section.  There's an extensive selection of games, videos, music, etc. that's available for downloading to your DS.  You can download as much as you want, whenever you want.  It's basically like a game store for DS applications, only it's all online.

The minor annoyances of this site are the awkward wording and annoying graphics (the fat guy running around in a cape, for example, is pretty darn cheesy).  However, the service is fast, dependable, and the customer support which is largely online (through chat) is excellent.  I actually tested it out because I had some questions after my initial signup, about how the membership plan worked, and got through to someone (again I don't think it was a native English speaker, but they were able to answer my questions quickly).

So the bottom line - Unlimited DS Downloads has some minor interface annoyances, but that can be overlooked because of the quick service, large selection of downloads, and efficient customer service.
