Shadow of the Colossus Buy Now


I'm actually rather surprised to see other reviews give this game praise. In my opinion this game is a big snooze and a huge waste of money. There is nothing to the game or story, no adventure, no collecting of items, nothing. I was beyond disappointed and find myself still frustrated by it. I found the game in the adventure section but there is nothing adventurous about the game. The object of the game so go different parts of the land (graphics leave much to be desired) to destroy these Colossi. No problem...well that's the problem there is nothing else to do. Just kill these couple few Colossi and that's it. What the fetch! To make matters worse trying to actually maneuver the main character or his horse was near impossible. The controls were absolutely horrible. I would say this is like a cheap low budget game, complete crap! Get more detail about Shadow of the Colossus.

Guitar Hero: Van Halen Decide Now


Back 2 or 3 years ago, when Guitar Hero was just becoming super popular, I thought to myself, you know they should really do a guitar hero: van halen!! But I thought the chances of that were very slim. I was of course wrong. When I first heard about it, I absolutely couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I was excited, but I was even more excited when you could get it for free with Guitar Hero 5!! 2 games in one!! So I did, and got it more than 2 months before the release date, and started rocking out!! Well here's the positives...

+ Extremely Fun!! The first song you play in Career is the incredibly awesome "Panama," and then "Running With The Devil," as an encore, and after those two I was hooked.

+ Track List is Great!! 25 of Van Halen's best songs all collected in one game, and none of them disappoint. And the 3 solo's are very difficult and will take a while even for the Experts to master them.

+ The band doesn't look extremely deformed which is good. They all look at least passable and/or decent.

+ Some replay value. If you want all the achievements, and want to unlock the classic looks of the band. Which is a very nice and different look to see the classic Van Halen band rocking out.

+ David Lee Roth is pretty interactive. He really gets into the music, and makes it seem all the more fun. Especially during "Jump."

+ You can play a song more than once and not get sick of it. I've played at least each Van Halen song twice. Some over 10 times and I still love them!!

+ Crowd is nice to have. The sing along to the lyrics and go crazy when you use star power. In GH5, you could hardly hear them.

Then some little things, which bother me a bit...

+/- No Sammy Hagar. I would like to play, "Why Can't This Be Love," and "Dreams."

+/- No Michael Anthony. Wolfgang, made the whole Base Career look unappealing. Mike's vocals are still there, it's just stupid to have Wolfgang there taking the credit.

+/- Feels rushed, but I shouldn't complain since I got it for free.

+/- The guest acts or okay, not a lot of them seem to fit in, but they're still fun. Just not as fun as the Van Halen songs. And Wolfgang picked most of them, so what do you expect?

And only one negative,

- No interviews or videos, I wish they showed us the band all together and see them making the game.

This game is one fun rockin' game, once you get to appreciate it. All the Van Halen songs are good, but some guest acts could have of been changed. This game deserved better. Not a must own guitar hero, but still good. I'm a huge fan, so there's my exception. Recommended for fans who want more songs to play or Van Halen fans (With Roth). [...]

Wii Airplane Controller Stand Right now


The suction cup does not work. I've tried it on a smooth solid surface top with no success. I will try to permanently attach it to a piece of solid surface with something like liquid nails and see if that works better. Get more detail about Wii Airplane Controller Stand.

Save Xbox 360 The Beatles: Rock Band Limited Edition Premium Bundle


This product should be banned under trade descriptions laws. For a start the beatless were and never have been a rock band. They're a pop / boy band who went "off the rails".

Their mind-numbing tracks would be very easy to play on a normal guitar, never mind this dumbed-down version.

Their "fans" make the bold assumption that the beatless are basically the root of all "rock" music ever, and that if they had never existed, "rock" would still sound like Elvis. But when you say that The Beatles are the be all and end all of "rock" music today, you're an idiot. Rock and Roll existed before the beatless, and it would probably have existed and done fine without them.

Look at Led Zeppelin. They basically evolved from the Yardbirds, who formed around 1962, roughly the same time as the beatless. Lets assume the beatless never existed (if only). The Yardbirds probably would have gotten just as big, having Clapton, Page, and Beck all joining the band, and Page turning the band into Led Zeppelin, maybe sounding slightly different that the Led Zeppelin we know today.

On top of that, bands and performers such as Chuck Berry, The Yardbirds, and The Kinks would have had a larger influence on true rock 'n' roll. And of course, we can't forget Les Paul, who not only made great advances in recording technology, but also helped greatly in the popularisation of the electric guitar, an essential element of virtually all rock, country, funk, metal, prog, punk, and much avant-garde.

During the publicity campaign for Rock Band and the remastered CDs, Thumbs mcfartney made the the surprise claim that it was he who was responsible for the besuited look which launched the band's commercial career.
In a recent interview he told how, while on holiday with his family at a Butlin's holiday camp in the mid 50s, he experienced an epiphany; four young men walked past the swimming pool dressed in exactly the same clothes. That night it became apparent they were a band, who appeared on stage in the ballroom wearing suits of the same smart cut. Mcfartney's tale does not accord with any previous accounts, including that of their late tailor Dougie Millings.

In Brian Epstein's 1964 autobiography A Cellarful Of Noise (How apt!!) their manager describes in detail how he had to address their "scruffy" early leather-clad rocker look. Epstein's assistant Alistair Taylor recalled in his own book that on December 14 1961 - the day after the beatles signed their management contract - the foursome were marched to Birkenhead tailor Beno Dorn (a friend of Epstein's) for fittings for matching made-to-measure dark blue suits. They also had their hair neatened at Liverpool's top-notch barber Horne Brothers.
And if that's not record company marketing, then what is?

Discount Guitar Hero 5 Guitar Bundle


Too much has changed in Guitar Hero 5 compared to the other Guitar Hero games. The system of earning money from gigs to buy new guitar, outfits, and songs is gone. In order to unlock things in this game you have to do challenges. For example, a song may tell you to play with the guitar and get a 200 note streak to complete the challenge, or play with bass and use all upstrokes to complete the challenge. There are no unlockable songs. The songs on the main setlist are the only ones that you can play. Of course there is the downloadable content on Xbox live, but the song list is still very short. The songs themselves while being a decent mix of time periods and influences, are not very fun to play on the whole. There are maybe 10 songs on the game that I actually look forward to playing. The other songs are just not fun. Steer away from this release and wait for Guitar Hero: Van Halen. The best part of buying Guitar Hero 5 was the I got GH:VH for free and before it comes out. Guitar Hero: Van Halen is fantastic, Guitar Hero 5 is boring and strange.Get more detail about Guitar Hero 5 Guitar Bundle.

Buy Official Nintendo Classic Gamecube / Wii Controller


The design of this controller is perfect for Mario Kart. The handles gives you a firm grip on this controller unlike the smooth design of the regular wii controller. I also like that the left joystick is above the d-pad which makes turning your kart easier. The Left button is perfect for when you have to hold a green shell or fake prize because of the design your finger wont slip off. The best part of this controller is the 10ft cord! YES thats right! 10Feetz! no more playing jump rope with your Wii console! I also like that it is an Official Nintendo controller. Ive bought cheap copycat controllers from other companys in the past but they ALWAYS seem to break down so fast. Its better to spend a little bit more money for a better product. My kids have a large assortment of Wii games and this is the controller that they prefer to use all the time. Highly Recommended!!!Get more detail about Official Nintendo Classic Gamecube / Wii Controller.

Purchase LeapFrog® Didj Custom Learning Game Didj Racing - Tiki Tropics


My son is in kindergarten but thoroughly enjoying this game. Of course, he enjoys the driving aspect. But, my favorite part is when I hear him sounding out words as he selects the correct letters to spell the words presented on the screen. When I check his DIDJ later, I learn that he is spelling at the first grade level or higher. It is exciting!Get more detail about LeapFrog® Didj Custom Learning Game Didj Racing - Tiki Tropics.

Order Rock Band Triple Tree Guitar Stand


Wow what a difference, no more guitars leaning against the wall on top of each other. The Rock Band Triple Tree Guitar Stand can securely and safely hold up to 3 guitars without worrying about scratching or damaging your them. The guitar's neck hangs off soft padded hooks and the backs are kept away from the stand by another padded bar that rests against the back of the guitar. Since the stand's height can be easily adjusted, this can be used with different gaming guitars. I personally use it for the Guitar Hero gaming system.

Made of heavy duty metal, it will securely stay in place without any worries of it tipping over. Much better "eye pleaser" to see the guitars nicely hanging on the stand than just laying around. Great buy! Get more detail about Rock Band Triple Tree Guitar Stand.

Where To Buy Ear Force X31 Digital RF Wireless Game Audio + Xbox Live Chat


I didn't find too many options out there for decent wireless headsets. I bought these and returned them the same day, since the cons outweighed the pros for my use (primarily MW2).

Pros:
- Sounds effects add to the audio experience
- Comfortable over the ear fit


Cons:
- Not out of the box compatible with Xbox 360 Elite or other newer premium systems if you are using HDMI, since since there are no built in RCA audio jacks. Microsoft made the included AV cable with these systems such that you can't plug it in along with a HDMI cable. The AV cable blocks the HDMI slot. You can spend $40 on the Microsoft HDMI AV cable ($10 on eBay for a knockoff) which is thinner if you want to use HDMI with this headset. Alternatively, you can hack the included cable (look on YouTube for tutorial)or use the RCA audio out jacks on your tv (if you have them).
- Noticeable latency (<1 sec) between tv speaker audio and headphone audio.
- Very cheap quality. I thought the battery cover would break while removing it...
- Your voice might echo in the game lobby of MW2, or be very faint. I experienced both.
- Audio hiss

This game has a Bunch of new Features. You could create a superstar,His/her moves,finishers & entrance. You Could also create your very own storyline...Very cool.

The Road to wrestlemania Created superstar addition was Fun.

The only thing i didnt like was that there was no commentary during the matches, just music.
