Chronicles of Riddick Game Review


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

My friend Michelle has done a few game reviews for us lately. She’s a gamer, and I am not! I figured it would be much better for all of you to get an idea what these games are really like from someone who knows what they are doing – and who loves to play. This time, Michelle is taking on Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena for the Xbox.

It’s a good thing I have a friend like Michelle here in Seattle. She’s a gamer – and I am not. I like to play casual games, but I just never quite got into RPGs. It would be silly for me to attempt to give a review of one, since I honestly don’t know how to properly play them!

I’ve long teased those of you who play Guitar Hero and Rock Band, so this video was a long time in coming. However, I had never played either of them. So, I decided it was high time to try it out for myself. Are you prepared for the awesomeness that is me?

How to (not) Play Guitar with Guitar Hero World Tour

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Now that I’ve become a master at singing and drumming on Guitar Hero World Tour, I decided I was ready to play the guitar. How hard can it be? It’s already obvious that I’m going to be giving up my day job in favor of touring with Nickelback.

How to (not) Drum with Guitar Hero World Tour

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Once I made the video of myself singing along with Guitar Hero World Tour, I decided to move up to trying to play the drums. I scored a 94% on the singing part, so maybe this whole drumming thing will be easy! I put the level on “Beginner”, and nearly had heart failure when the game tried to play the song at full speed. No way in heck. They must be on crack!

With the recording of this video, I lost my Guitar Hero virginity. The first thing I wanted to attempt was to sing. It’s not that bad… right? I have the new Guitar Hero World Tour for my Xbox, so I had to play it live, of course!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

About two weeks ago, we saw the new Xbox Experience. The Dashboard was reinvented. If you ask what I think… I like it a lot. This is radically different from what I’m used to. It’s a richer experience.

Would You Like to Fight Yoda or Darth Vader?


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

I grew up in a simpler time in respect to video games. Because of that, I’m still very much just a casual gamer. I don’t really go to arcades anymore, but I grew up with them. I have my own arcade in my office now. Soulcaliber IV is out for the Xbox 360 (and other platforms) now, and one of the characters you can play is Yoda! I grew up with Yoda!

Up until recently, there was a huge high-definition format war in relation to DVDs. We had HD DVD vs. Blu-ray. Now… HD DVD has gone the way of the Dodo Bird. Nick is a community member who wrote in:

Xbox DVD

I have 4 Xbox 360s, for the simple reason that I can share media throughout the house, or be able to play games wherever I am. I was lucky to win these a few years ago. I received an email from someone saying that they are considering selling their Xbox 360 to buy a PS3. What?!
