The Game
Shit has been pretty horrible since I moved up here - as if some cosmic backlash (DBZCCG PUN) occurred to fuck me over. But there was one thing I was looking forward to - Rock Band. Finally, I could play the drums or guitar or whatever in a game. It was gonna be awesome. Guitar Hero 3... meh. Well, that is until one random chance of fate I decided to look at the song list... and there it was:
In Flames - Take this Life.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Everything turned around. And as more songs were revealed, the more beautiful it became.... One by Metallica, Raining Blood by Slayer, My Curse by Killswitch Engage, Prayer of the Refugee by Rise Against, Before I Forget by Slipknot.... things just kept making me go nuts over GH3. In fact, after all 71 songs were revealed, only one song did I despise - Suck My Kiss by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Very well, it was a must buy. As time went on i got more psyched up, hyped it up at work, and watched as people leaked videos. I finally have it and it is good. And tough. Oh my god is it tough. I can't beat the last song on HARD. That is almost too ridiculous. I nearly beat GH2 on expert and I can't beat GH3 on hard??? WTF.
Practice, practice. Eventually I'll get it. In the end, it possibly lived up to the hype. Idk.
Rock Band comes out on the 20th, and its a conundrum for me. I was so excited in the past for it, but as new song tracks are revealed.... for every track I like I dislike three others. The pricetag (170 bucks), or in other words, 3 games worth... is also tough to rationalize. There are less songs on the game too. But the main thing about it all is that the game is going to be a party game extravaganza... and the biggest pro to it was I think it would be a good reason for everyone in the house to get together and do something FUN. But, as I'll talk about later... I'm not sure thats going to happen.
Regardless, Mass Effect and Mario Galaxy are the other must-buys for me this holiday season, but there are still plenty of games I want to buy used/rent/check out - Call of Duty 4, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, Assassins Creed, Kane and Lynch, Timeshift, Naruto: Rise of Ninja, The Simpsons Game, Blacksite: Area 51, Manhunt 2, Orange Box...... and plenty I have yet to try. Its gonna be a busy winter.
