“Guitar Hero: Metallica” is every metal heads dream!!!! OMG, the game is amazing!!!

Today, I just went through all the songs in the “Easy” mode in the “Quickplay” section, and I’m just speechless. This game fuckin’ blows my mind. I think this is indeed the best music video game out there. If you’re a huge fan of heavy metal like myself, you would love this. What I’m most impressed by this game is that Metallica has mostly their songs with Cliff Burton’s bass playing in them. This game has more of Burton’s bass playing than Rob and Jason’s. Which makes it kind of dissapointing that this game doesn’t have Cliff Burton as a character.

This game is a must have for all metal heads. It’s the most fun Guitar Hero game I ever played. Great job James and Lars!

Just picked up “Guitar Hero:Metallica” today…

Today, I just picked up, “Guitar Hero: Metallica” from Best Buy. Haven’t tried it yet, just got it. I will start playing the game tonight to see how it is. I’m sure the game will be a lot of fun.

I also picked up, “Slumdog Millionaire”, and “Marley & Me” on DVD as well.

I did see the new John Cena movie, “12 Rounds”. I decided to see that instead of “Fast and Furious”. Review of “12 Rounds” coming later tonight!

New game to add to my wishlist: “Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood”…

The video game industry does not make western and cowboy games that much, and they are finally releasing a new one. This one is called, “Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood”, it’s a first person shooter. I’ve been reading early reviews of this game, and seeing the trailers, and I grew a lot of interest in this game. This game looks pretty sweet and looks a lot of fun to play.

There’s quite a few other video games coming out this year, that I’m anticipating to really get, games like: “Ghostbusters:  The Videogame”, “Batman: Arkhum Asylum”, “UFC 09” and now “Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood” has been added to this list.

I think tomorrow, I will go to the mall to go see “Fast and Furious”, and then pick up the “Guitar Hero: Metallica” game.

“Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood” hits video game stores everywhere May 26, it’s being released for the PC/CDROM, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Metallica at the Times Union Center in Albany, N.Y. go on sale this Saturday!!!

Metallica tickets for the Times Union Center for their November 12th show in Albany, N.Y. go on sale this Saturday at 10 a.m. I’m definitely going to order two tickets this weekend, I’ll find a friend or a family member to go with.

In other Metallica news, their “Guitar Hero” game is out in stores now, which I definitely plan on picking up soon. I don’t know about this week, I gotta wait for my next paycheck, then I’ll go pick up the game after I get paid.

After I pick up “Guitar Hero: Metallica”, that will be my last game, I will purchase for a while. I got plenty of games to keep me busy.

I’m currently playing the videogame, “Bioshock”, then I gotta beat “Resident Evil 5”. I’m really looking forward to “Guitar Hero: Metallica”, I think that’s looking like to be the best Guitar Hero game ever made. “Guitar Hero: Aerosmith” is an okay game, I think, “Guitar Hero: Metallica” is going to be way better. Looking forward to it.

“Bioshock” is another killer game!!!

I have decided to start this game, “Bioshock”, and have been playing it a lot. Killer game. Another fun game and a blast to play. Yes, it’s another one of them survival sci-fi horror type of games. It is also a first person shooter.

In the game, you play this character name Jack where you are forced to visit this underwater city named Rapture. The city of Rapture has zombies and other creatures you must battle to survive. The game is set in the 1960’s.

The graphics in the game are amazing, it is kind of scary and creepy, I love those kind of games. It’s another game reccomended for you gamers to check out. You’ll become addicted to this game pretty quick.

Tomorrow, I plan on going to the mall and I plan on picking up, “Legends of Wrestlemania” video game. Yeah, I know, I’ve been getting video games like crazy. Why? People assume that video games aren’t good for your health and accuse video games are for lazy couch potatoes. I disagree, and that insult is not true at all.

I find that video games are very good for you. They are good for your mind, and they get you to think. I’ve explained this before. Playing video games takes your mind off of everything else in your life, it really does.

They help you feel better and make you happier. I just love video gaming. It’s another addictive hobby of mine. Don’t listen to people that say that video games are bad for ya, ’cause they are dead wrong. When people say that, they aren’t video gamers themselves and don’t know anything about them. Video games keeps people out of trouble and makes them happy in life.

“Bioshock” is way cool. A sequel is already in the works of that game and definitely looking forward to it.

I’ll be getting “Guitar Hero: Metallica” at the end of this month!

The reason I haven’t started “Resident Evil 5” yet is because I’ve been playing “Guitar Hero: Aerosmith” quite a lot. Just to try and get good at the game before I get, “Guitar Hero: Metallica”.

I’m real excited for “Guitar Hero: Metallica” ’cause that game has a very impressive selection of songs. A better selection than any Guitar Hero game in the past. The boys in Metallica did a very good job choosing the songs for the game. I’m sure it will be entertaining to play.

I enjoy Guitar Hero. Whenever I get tired of playing long hours of action/adventure games, I’ll want to play something fun and challenging instead like Guitar Hero or something.

I know musicians hate the Guitar Hero franchise but hey, it’s just a fuckin’ game, that’s all it is. You should respect it because it gets people off of violent games and gets their mind on the music. I think Guitar Hero is a great franchise and a wonderful thing for the music industry.

Sure, musicians would rather play the real thing instead of a plastic toy, but hey, you should take a break from the real thing, get some kids together or family and just play Guitar Hero with other people. You will find it a lot of fun.

I don’t like it when musicians bash the Guitar Hero franchise. The famous bands that have songs on this game, they obviously love the game ’cause they wouldn’t be on it if they hated it. The famous bands and musicians like Metallica, Aerosmith and Slash…they all defended the Guitar Hero franchise and do a great job at it too.

I enjoy playing Guitar Hero because it actually makes you feel part of the song when you put that little plastic guitar in your hands and play along with it. Musicians may not think that, but it’s true. It’s not just for kids only, it’s really made for the entire family. A family friendly game.

Guitar Hero is great. The franchise will always be huge and they will never die.

“Twilight: The Video Game”, why isn’t there one made yet?

The “Twilight” franchise is making merchandise of everything. T-shirts, posters, candy, collectible cards, action figures, board games, etc. I’m sure we’ll soon get animated movies and cartoon versions of the “Twilight” series. What about the video game?

Imagine if you could play the Edward Cullen character in a video game, battling against other vampires and werewolves. Make it an action adventure game similar to the “Tomb Raider” series or “Resident Evil”.

I’m sure the game would be an instant hit if there was one made. There may not be a “Twilight” game yet, but maybe there will be one when the last film “Breaking Dawn” gets made into a film, that way the video game can have the whole story in one game.

There has been “Harry Potter”, “Lord of the Rings” and “Chronicles of Narnia” video games, but no “Twilight” yet. I’m sure we’ll start getting “Twilight” video games soon for all systems. Don’t know when it’s going to happen since there are no reports on a video game of “Twilight” yet, but I’m sure it’s in the planning stages.

Don’t worry kids, I’m sure you’ll get your chance to play the Edward Cullen character soon on your video game systems.

Report: Top 10 Controversial games of all times…

Grand Theft Auto IV maybe the most controversial video game of the year 2008, but you haven’t seen nothing yet. To those who are new to video games, there have been way worse controversial games, than “Grand Theft Auto IV”. Yahoo compiled a top ten list of controversial video games that created a strong negative public reaction but later became very popular.

I think this is a great list and they hit the nail on the head.

See it here:

I recently picked up “Resident Evil 5”, I haven’t started playing it yet. I’m thinking about it this weekend.

I just beat “Tomb Raider: Underworld” today…

So I just beat the game, “Tomb Raider: Underworld” for the Ps3 today. It was a pretty good game. I liked it a lot actually. Only dissapointment, there was no boss to fight at the end of the game. At the end of the game, you have to solve some puzzle and it’ll kill the boss, automatically for you. Like every adventure game, there should be a boss for you to fight at the end but this one didn’t have it.

I really liked the game though, they did a great job with this one. Yes, I think there will be another Tomb Raider game, ’cause I think the ending to “Tomb Raider: Underworld” just left open for another game in the future. So there probably will be another Tomb Raider game down the road.

I had a good time playing “Underworld”. Graphics were real nice, the story was interesting, and the puzzles were great to solve. I hope they make the next one a lot better.

Next game, I’ll probably move on to, is a game called “Bioshock”, which is another sci-fi action adventure survival type of game. I’ll start “Bioshock” tomorrow.

Tomb Raider: Underworld thoughts…

Last night, I completed most of the game “Tomb Raider: Underworld”, was about to begin the very last level. Today when I turned on my PS3 to try and beat the game, I accidentally, deleted my saved game. Don’t know what happened. Maybe I turned it off while it was loading or something, don’t know. Now I have to start the whole game over again.

I don’t mind though ’cause the game is fantastic. Definitely the best “Tomb Raider” game by far. I love playing it. The storyline is good. It’s still staying true to the earlier Tomb Raider games. Doing a lot of swimming, high climbing, and solving all kinds of archaeological puzzles.

This is the 9th Tomb Raider game and I hope they keep going with them. I hope they make another one for the Ps3. They probably will.
