Last week gave us WonderCon 2011; a convention all about comics and comic book heroes. Like Comic-Con, this was the place to go to get all the latest and greatest on what the comic book universe has in store for 2011. With film releases such as Thor and Green Lantern to look forward to, the geek inside of me was determined to find any information I could from the deepest depths of the internet. Something that I found in my [...]
2005-2011 Friends, Family, Gamers, we are here today to mark the passing of our dear friend Guitar Hero. This week Activision announced that as of 2011 it is to discontinue development of the Guitar Hero series. The decision is said to be influenced by the decline in sales of music games in recent years leading to the conclusion that the series is simply not profitable enough anymore. It is undeniable that the game had been nearing its end for a while [...]
What we know now Up until now I have not said much about Guitar Hero Warriors of rock. I suppose a lot of the attention has been diverted away by the unveiling of Rockband’s ‘real’ guitar controllers’ whose somewhat shiny if not a little controversial appearance would be enough to distract any hardcore fan. Still, I think its time to put realism aside for a second and change this. After-all, we are talking about a game here and not a [...]
A pre-post post I had no plans to write anything tonight. If anything I was ready for a quiet night in with my duvet and a good dvd…AND THEN I SAW THIS….
The Final Verdict. Well I have kept my promise. It seems like a long time ago now that I was giving you all the low down on the Van Halen Demo but after a lot of strumming, a few harsh failures (and a bit of sneaky Bioshock 2) I am back to give Guitar Hero Van Halen its final Verdict. I feel that the phrase ‘Final Verdict’ is very appropriate when reviewing this game, for more reasons than one. Many [...]
I am one of the very few gamers that hasn’t been bitten by the Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 bug. I know this sounds really damn strange coming from an FPS nut such as myself, but money is tight at the moment and personally, a good sci-fi first person shooter like Halo makes my trigger finger itch a bit more than a war game. But thats just personal preference. That aside that game has sky rocketed since its release [...]
Mark Boss tackles Mod War 2 (hardend) on release day through a 11 hour parade of bullets. This time was spent on both single player and multiplayer gameplay, but only single player footage is shown here. 11,657, 32 bullets fired that day. www.youtube.com/gamersuniteTUBE Music by Eminem and Nate Dogg- Till I Collapse
Me being the FPS junkie that I am, you would expect that I would be going absolutely nuts over this title. Well take a seat because quite frankly I am not. (shock, horror) But this is not because I am disappointed or dreading this release or anything like that. I’m just not one of these guys who is a huge Call Of Duty or indeed War game fan. I have played both Modern Warfare and World At War, but I [...]
Last week finally saw the release of Guitar Hero 5 for us plastic fret face melters in the UK. The game has been out in the US for a good week or so more, so people have now had their chance to play it and get a good feel for the game. But oh no, the game has enraged people! So here it is, my view of the whole idea of Kurt Cobain being in Guitar Hero 5. Let me [...]
If the Guitar Hero franchise is famous for anything, its getting Rock Legends into their games. Sure Rock Band are trying really hard to do it with Beatles Rock Band, but when it gets down to the nitty gritty, GH have the upper hand on this one. This all started back in the days of Guitar Hero 3: Legends Of Rock. Activition and Neversoft made computer generated versions of Slash from Guns ‘N’ Roses/Velvet Revolver fame, and Rage Against The [...]
