One thing Guitar Hero World Tour did bring into the world of rhythm games, is its music creator tool. Although the tool is very difficult to use, and you cant record any vocals. It is pretty cool to download someones rendition of the Zelda theme and rock out. Well Activision has taken notice. Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard stated that since World Tours release 25,000 user created songs have been uploaded to GHTunes and by years end they epect up to 100,000. Kotick continued "The ability to offer these songs on a subscription basis may very well result in the newest subscription opportunity in our portfolio". What I dont think Kotick realizes is if a subscription fee is tacked onto this service the number of songs being uploaded/downloaded will drop substansially. Better download those songs now for free while you still can. Continue Reading»
As many have experienced, playing drums on Guitar Hero: World Tour takes a lot more effort then on Rock Band. The amount of strength required for a note to register is much greater on Guitar Hero and this has pissed people off. But sure enough if enough people bitch about a common problem there is bound to be a solution proposed. As poor of an attempt it is a program deemed the "Drum Controller Standard Tuning Kit" has been released for windows. (As usual, Mac users are out of luck, eat that Justin Long.) The program is supposed to allow you to adjust the sensitivity of your plastic drum kit.
If your a "drummer" and face this problem, this program may seem like a prayer answered, however, things get ugly. To be able to use this program you have to connect your drum kit (which is wireless) to your PC so an additional wire must be used, a Midi-USB cable. Red Octane is giving these away to Guitar Hero owners but if this is anything like the Rock Band instrument replacement I wouldn't expect to be drumming stress-free anytime this year.

If you are still in doubt about "Spider-man: Web Of Shadows" rest assure this game is BAD! As reviewers at IGN.COM bash this game with a 5.7. It seems this game will get no love from GameTrailers as well. They actually recommend one of the previous movie game titles from the bargain bin instead. So go ahead and ignore this game, along with your Nintendo Wii. Continue Reading»
Yeah I'd say Gametrailers hit the nail on the head with this review. "Gears of War" was the last game I was really excited for. On my way home from picking up the very first "Gears of War" my hands were shaking. Although I'm sure it won't be the same this time around, I'm still very excited after this review.

Nintendo UK exec David Yarnton doesn't believe that the core audience for Nintendo has been left behind, he stated:
"It’s simply not true, Nintendo has never lost its passion for core gamers. Nintendo would like to bring smiles to as many different faces as possible and produce games which appeal to mainstream and gaming audiences worldwide.
We have never neglected core gamers. We still have developers working on popular core gaming franchises but we need longer to complete these games, approximately two to three years.
These games aren’t ready to launch — but are being worked on by all development teams."
Apparently E3 08 never happened. I don't think Nintendo realizes its flagship title for the hardcore this holiday is Animal Crossing. I don't know about you but I feel neglected. Continue Reading»

Its been 2 months since I wrote on my previous blog, and I've been telling myself the twelve people who read this thing were anxiously awaiting my next post. During this downtime I was trying to build a standalone site that wasn't connected to the blogger network, but currently construction has come to halt. But it wasn't all bad, I realized that it was difficult to write for the previous blog frequently, so figure this as a Version 2.0. It will essentially contain the same things that my previous blog included but it will appear in a new format that makes it easier for me to not only post my usual stuff but at a more frequent rate with stories everyday. When I start to post you will see the overall concept of what I plan on doing.
