Rock Band for $69.99!

EBGames is currently having a sale on their old music games.  (Most likely making space for The Beatles Rock Band.)  You can get Rock Band 1 for only $69.99 and Rock Band 2 is going for $94.99.  Quite a steal!  Hell, I think I might even pick up the Rock Band 1 bundle.  Come see all the games and prices HERE.

#16 – GLP Episode – “Wrath of Solace!”

At long last we have an episode again!  In this episode we talk about the delay, a car accident, Wrath of the Lich King, Quantum of Solace, Left4Dead, the iTunes app store, Thanksgiving festivities, and so much more!

In the show, we shared a few links with you that would allow you to keep tabs on what we’re doing.  They will be found below.  (But hey, you’ve already found my main site!  🙂 )

Castle Crashers Review Delayed

So like a good little reviewer, I knew I should finish the game before I finialized my thoughts about it. However, I am royally getting my ass handed to me in the Lava World level of the game! I have an idea now of how to get past it, but a save before you fight the dragon would sure be nice! 🙂

On another note, I’m actually going to see Tropic Thunder tonight. I’ll finally have a movie to talk about!

Update: I finally got past lava world!  I’ve finished the ice world as well, so I’m about done with the game.  Hopefully I can finish by tomorrow or the day after and get a review up!

Please Unleash Me Now… – Demo Roundup!

Finally, a batch of demos worth playing is on Xbox LIVE. By that I mean…not sports games! 🙂 First off, before we get any further, let me just say Castle Crashers is a must play. I’m going to write a review for that soon, but even the demo can show you how sweet the game is. It’s hard to believe that puppy is only an Arcade game.

So we’ve heard about it for a year, I’ve put posts about it on the blog, and talked about it on the podcast. Finally, The Force Unleashed demo is here! Except…I’m not that impressed.

Heavy Updation!

Because my post about the Pyro updates generated a surprisingly large amount of traffic, I figured I should let you know about the Heavy update!  🙂  Yes siree, over the next few days you can find an increasing amount of information here.  http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/

So far they have the achievement icons up, a new map, and the Heavy’s new “upgraded” boxing glove.  Pretty dang cool.

On another note, can anyone tell me if the 360 has even gotten Medic achievements yet?

#8 – The Gamer Lounge Episode – E3 Wonders!

In this episode Larry and I talk about Wall-E, Journey to the Center of the Earth, iPhone/iPod applications, and tons of stuff from E3!

Quick Gaming News Roundup! Yeehaw!

Sing me A Song!

-Rock Band 2 Premium Drum Kit
-Rock Band 2 Gameplay Trailer
-Rock Band 2 Info

So I’ve got to admit, this looks cool. But one question, what the crap is the difference between this and Guitar Hero World Tour? (Yes I realize it has song creation. But with no vocals who cares?) Maybe if they worked together on one game rather than making two clones this would be even cooler than it already is. While the price tag is looking to be something like $180, with wireless drums it actually looks worth it this time around. So…uhh…for the one guy in the world that hasn’t played Rock Band, is there a solo campaign for the drums?

A Cheaper 360!

Yep, this is true. Saw it in the Best Buy ad today. You can now get the 20gb 360 for only $300. But seriously, has anyone not boughten one yet? 🙂

Portal 2

LINK. Awesome! While I can’t say this is my favorite game, I did enjoy playing the game quite a bit. It’s nice to see game developers take some risks and come out with something cool!

Yet Another Star Wars Character in Soulcalibur

Well, it looks like the main character from The Force Unleashed is now joining Yoda and Darth Vader as yet another Star Wars character in Soulcalibur 4. I believe it is still true that the 360 version will get Yoda and the PS3 will get Vader. Will this “secret apprentice” be offered to both consoles then? Or will they make us pay extra from Xbox LIVE to unlock him? While this Soulcaliber game looks cool, I think this new addition should have been left out and saved for The Force Unleashed. Surely they don’t need to have Star Wars characters to be successful? Or do they? There has already been tons of advertisements for The Force Unleashed and something tells me within a week before it comes out, everyone on the planet will have heard of it.

Anyway, you can check out more images and a trailer of the game HERE.

Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit and The Bourne Conspiracy Demos

Two of the newest demos released on Xbox Live this week were Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit and The Bourne Conspiracy. Are they demos worth playing? You better believe it!
