This game has astounded me on how much this genre has improved. The new guitar they have released feels very new in peoples hands and is very interesting on how you can make a custom body for it now. The customization mode in the game has increased very far also. Making many good improvements needed including a much bigger wardrobe selection.  This is the first guitar hero to actually have a story line and I must say that it is rather stellar even for a game of this genre.

It is astounding really and actually has a very good story line for a music game. The game is not short by any means either, the story line is long and you can unlock additional songs by playing through it. The other neat thing they added was the use of powers that help either add more multiplyers, keep your streak going, add to star power, or keep the crowd in the happy zone. This is easily the best one that have came out with in a long time, including many good titles in the game. Another thing that I was glad to see was a harder expert mode on all instruments and the ability to unlock cheats and activate them through the band lineup screen and the ability to speed it up past expert mode now if you wish. The other addition they added was the ability for the game to choose a random setlist for you to play, which is fast and easy to use if you just want to practice various songs.

The two leading producers in this genre are Guitar Hero and Rock Band, their has been a few spin offs but none have reached the level of achievement that these 2 have gotten. Please click here if you are interested in looking more into the Rock Band vs Guitar Hero battle.

Their has been so many styles of guitars released for these 2 games but only one set of drums and mics for each game. Hopefully they will release more styles of drums and mics also to add to the fun of them being in real life.

6/10 – I think they could have done plenty to spice up this game. Giving it higher graphics, maybe more then 3 buttons? Something a little harder. More customization, be able to make your own remixes would be awesome to do also.

8.5/10 Career Mode -

This new career mode remake for this game is much better. Making it more lifelike and slightly harder to get a hold of, but once you get a hold of how the career mode works starts becoming easier. You have to go to camps to train new moves and do objectives they have their. Then you have to keep all your stats and attributes up or they will start to fall. So their is a lot more balancing in this game. To earn points to spend in attributes you have to spar with your partner and earn points that way. The game has cut scene’s which is also nice to see every once in a while. Can get repetitive after long hours of straight game play in career mode. So need to take breaks from the game.

This is a game that seemed to be more of a promotional stunt done by Bungie to try to keep the spotlight on them more. You take the roll as a ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper) and you are your squad get shot down and are descending onto the planet, when things go wrong and every one of the team members gets split up. Now its up the the Rookie to find his squad mates and what their fates where. You play as the Rookie as you are just becoming a ODST but soon must take on great responsibilities. The biggest hit to this game was Firefight mode.
Which is like Horde mode for Gears of War 2. It became a very hard challenge and offered people a new experience. The campaign was rather short but had some affect on what else happened where master chief was not at. You get to see a city get ravaged and devastated. And with the addition of then new covenant force a Engineer, they gave all the covenant forces overshields including grunts and drones within its radius. The only weakness they have is to charge a plasma pistol shot and hit them with it, in which they overload and explode, though the pieces that fly from it explode on impact so look out.
Now the other big thing to this game was the Silenced SMG and the Pistol was back with a scope on it and was also silent. Another change was that you had to use Night Vision in some areas, and you could see invisible Brute Stalkers extremely easier. If you were stealth on this game it usually did pay off. Bungie made it to wear if you were using a silenced weapon they would not know where the shot had come from so they would go and scout around. Now the AI become much smarter in terms of battling and knew what to do more often then they did in Halo 3. The main thing that came with this game was for a Beta code to Halo: Reach when the beta launched and for the Halo 3 Multiplayer Disk which came with EVERY Halo 3 map with all expansion maps, including 3 new ones on the Mythic Map Pack II, which wasnt released until not to long ago. So having this was a big advantage.

Yes, a Pop Cap game that is wildly simple yet complexly designed. Now the game and story mode are fairly simple and even have a bit of comedy in them which helps cause it makes you laugh and that makes everything better! Now, the story mode is simple, you play the game as plants and you have to fend off Zombies from getting to your house and eating you. So your plants shoot pea’s and many other things at them to kill the zombies. Later on the zombies get stronger and a strategystarts to develop. The story mode’s tutorial is very nice to experts and even very casual players, it starts you out slow and as the game gets in depth gets very challenging.

This is a tower defense strategy game and can get to be challenging later on. Their is MANY plants and MANY different types of zombies which you have to learn to adapt to. Their is also mini games in this game to help break up any receptiveness and the mini games are probably more fun at times then the actual game. In one minigame you have to play as the zombies and take over the house even. Very fun game and will provide over 8 Hours of gameplay at least to you, and is a very cheap title. Recommned to anyone who likes to play strategygames, tower defense’s, or even casual players

10/10 – For Casual Strategy Games and Cheap Price.

Overall though 7.5/10 for Strategy Games

Now many don’t like the look of the part of the design that makes you look like you are holding a ice cream cone. But the thing is that inside of that “cone” part is a six-axis camera that gives accurate information on your person in real life with no lag or delay.

Their is going to be quite a few games come out on the launch of this new addition to the system. Their is a sports game coming out with it kind of like Wii Sports. But with archery and other fun games including ping pong. In ping pong you can hold the paddle however you wish just hold the Playstation Move controller in the fashion you want to hold the paddle, they also are coming out with boxing like the Wii did except that the Playstation Move with its six axis controller and camera can detect how fast your throw each punch, so you can make quick jabs and strong ones also. Another game coming out is a Boxing game that has many capabilities. You can punch however you want and you need to learn to block the punches also as you would in a real life situation.

The camera that sits atop of your TV can also detect upper body movement. So when you are playing the boxing game you will be able to lean your persons head back to make them miss a punch and other things that will come into play later on. I will be talking more about the Playstation Move during sometime next month.

This seems to be a very good advancement in technology and we hope to have fun titles come from it.

The games story mode is supposed to be jumping in between differnt wars so who knows if the story line will be good or not. The multiplayer does look promising however. In the trailers for the game they have people that are wielding a knife and another that is holding a crossbow. These weapons are a lot different then the common weapons we are used to seeing in war. Though their is supposed to be many weapons these two are completely different and could be very fun to use. It is rumored that you can only use the 3 default killstreaks and you can not change these kill streaks. Radar, a little car that you drive and have to blow up people with it, and another.

Maybe they will add a few more to the list for you to have some customization. Now the reason they are not doing it like Modern Warfare 2 is because of the reason behind it being that their is balancing issues in MW2 with certain things. Like the killstreaks for example, some of them blow while others rock and higher levels always had better killstreaks which always is not fair to beginners. Now with only having a limited number of killstreaks everyone has a fair chance of winning and getting killstreaks. Everyone loves the feeling of getting a killstreak. So i believe that is their plan is just to have a more balanced game then MW2. This game is supposed to rival MW2 in multiplayer so who knows.

This new expansion is going to be changing World of Warcraft in many ways. Azeroth will never be the same again. Taking that their is many multiple changes happening to the land. Un’goro Crater for example has dinosaurs and a volcano in the middle and is very grassy. The volcano is going to erupt leaving the place not green no more. The barrens will now have a huge gap down the middle of it. So many changes are happening. Some of the more bigger ones are the two new classes. Worgens are for the alliance, they are werewolves and they seem to be promising. You will walk around as a human but as soon as you attack or get attacked you transform into a werewolf. The horde now get the goblins. Which will most likely be very good asset to the horde. Now they have a equal to the gnomes and dwarfs of the alliance. Always having to fight the little things was so hard now we have a fighter who is short also! But yes that means that all goblin cities will now be on the Hordes side. For all you ALT-aholics out their, Blizzard is making leveling from 1-60 a simpler task yet again. They made another update a while back making it easier and they are making it easier yet again. This is proboly the reason they want people to experience the thrill of leveling up instead of having to spend hours leveling up one level from 59-60. They want to make if a more enjoyable experience also, and if you are into the lore this helps in getting to the lore of the game faster. You can also get to end game content more quickly as well. Their strategy is to make people level up quickly so they get enjoyment out of the game and keep playing it. Orgrimmar is going to be changing alot. With a new warchief taking the throne this means alot, and includes an ENTIRE remake of orgrimmar. Their is so much more being added to this games content and this is either going to make a lot of people quit cause of all the major changes of the land or make alot of people play. People will quit most likely just because of the reason they liked how the land used to look. Also flying mounts will be aloud in azeroth making transportion much simpler.
