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!

Zombies!!

I'm back! So last post I was talking about highest video games in sales, and today I thought I would let you know what video game is the best of the best hands down, at least according to the video game award givers. Left 4 Dead, the fun and enthusiastic video game that Zombie lovers must have has been voted the BEST! It won Video Game of the Year and has now released a "Game of the Year" edition for everyone else who hasn't already bought it. Some details about this oh so great game are that its rated M for Mature because of its blood and gore, intense violence, language. It is a first person shooter and has online game play available for groups of 8 and 4 if you want to go Co-op. It is also available on PC, and only costs $60. So if you haven't tried that game, I suggest you do, because even the judges agree, its a terrifying but really fun game that gives that adrenaline rush to those who seek it!

Still going strong!

Hey guys, so I promised some updates on the highest rated video games out there, and I thought it would be great to provide you with a list of the SALES rankings for video games. Here is the most updated list for you guys!


01. Resident Evil 5 (X360) - 938,000
02. Pokemon Platinum (DS) - 805,000
03. Halo Wars (X360) - 639,000
04. Resident Evil 5 (PS3) - 585,000
05. Wii Fit (Wii) - 541,000
06. MLB 09: The Show (PS3) - 305,000
07. Killzone 2 (PS3) - 296,000
08. Wii Play (Wii) - 281,000
09. Mario Kart Wii (Wii) - 278,000
10. MLB 2K9 (X360) - 205,000

So as you can see, the new resident evil is dominating the market right now, but it looks like Mario Kart is still going strong since its been on the charts the longest! Keep it up Mario!

Its about time...

So, on a more serious note. TEXAS, has proposed a bill which I think many gamers out there will highly appreciate, especially female and children gamers. "Legislators in Texas have proposed a bill that would expand what registered sex offenders would be required to disclose, including the release of online screen names." This I think is a tremendous idea, because of the ease of access to many people through online game play nowadays. Many people have been harassed by those who talk to them when they're playing online. I personally have experienced this sort of discomfort, dealing with people who might not necessarily be sex offenders, but do cross the line form time to time. If sex offenders can harass people on a computer, they probably can do it through their game system. This bill forcing sex offenders to register their gamer tags would establish much more control and would surely make many gamers feel safer. Phew!
