Pon Pata Pon!


Recently I was reading around some video game websites and their reviews to find new games to try out. I read a review about a game called Patapon. After reading about it and finding out a little more, I decided to purchase it. I loved it! This game is super fun and would appeal to all ages with its fun colors, cute characters, and challenging levels. There is Patapon 2 that released May 6th and is now available, which was said to be the same as the original with just an expansion in levels and adventures. I have yet to try that one but I will get it as soon as I finish the first. This game is all about giving a pattern of drum beats and rhythm to give commands to the Patapon characters. These little guys are cute and tough troopers, which makes this game even more addicting!

Hit it!



So speaking about spin offs and Guitar Hero, I want to discuss the newest spin off from the Activision heroes themselves. This is a spin off game, literally though. It is called DJ Hero and will feature a controller shaped like a turntable, to spin! Its finally here for all you people out there who have always wanted to see what exactly its like to be a DJ! Though it seems like a cool idea, not too many people are psyched about this game, and I think it might have to do with the fact that not many people have any idea how this thing works! I know I'm going to give it a try. This picture was released recently, but it is not confirmed that this is the final product, and a release date has yet to be announced. I will keep you updated...

Guitar Hero----->Television Series?

So it has been rumored lately that the Guitar Hero success just was not enough for the creators so they are creating a television series out of the game. Not many details about the show itself have been released, but it has also been hinted that there will be a concert tour developing from the game after the television series ends. Who knows how that will go for them. I can't even imagine what kind of series for television could be spun off of Guitar Hero. Maybe a tournament? Who knows, we will see if its all true soon enough. See you guys around!

Multiplayer Bioshock?!


Here is an update on one of the best games released recently! Bioshock 2 has been around for a while now, and it is still going strong with sales doing great and gamers giving great reviews. For those of you that don't know Bioshock, let me tell you a little bit about the game. Basically its about a man who discovers a secret underwater city, named Rapture, and he is trying to create the perfect Utopian society within this city. The only problem is how dysfunctional that whole plan is, because the city is the complete opposite of that idea. So throughout the game, the guy is just on his journey to better the whole place. Sounds cheesy, but the game is actually really interesting, and I'm sure many of you first timers would love it after a few tries. This game has had a lot of success, winning game of the year since its first release, and gaining lots of fans around the world. Anyways, the latest update on this game is that the creator has announced that they are working on getting a multiplayer option, which appeals to a lot of players. Multiplayer is always a plus! It is said to expand the story line with this new feature, and give gamers experience points, for new weapons and other cool unlocks. So look forward to that release! Later!

Machines, Machinery, and Mechanics

Me again! So I have been playing this game on my computer lately called Crazy Machines. It is a very different game from those I am used to playing, falling into a genre known as physics simulators. They give you different parts to machines and give you a goal to reach by putting the parts together so that they work as a whole. There are rubber bands, gears, steam pipes, magnets, fire, even dynamite! Its a really fun game that makes you think...a lot. Point is, there is a new release coming soon called Professor Heinz Wolff's Gravity. This game is a lot like the one I mentioned, but with different parts and fun eerie backgrounds. This game has many different goals to try and reach and is something everyone should try out. Its a great way to exercise your brain...we all need to that once in a while!

Likey?
