If you are still leaning towards this Sony 32" 120hz HDTV. I've got the same exact TV. Earlier this year. Yes the PS3 looks great on it. Motion Flow works great especially when watching movies. Games not so much but I have notices a few games that it does smooth out the camera angle turnings. P...

Rock Band 3 Will Teach People To Play Music For Real

06 Nov 2009 11:59:00 PST

My question is: Do gamers want to learn to play music? As a (mediocre) guitar player, lemme tell you: Playing real music is nearly infinitely more difficult than playing video game music. It's not fun to learn to play an instrument in the same way it's fun to learn a game (It's much more rewar...

Review: Guitar Hero 5 (Xbox360)

27 Oct 2009 07:40:47 PDT

Claiming that this is the 5th Guitar Hero game is as preposterous as claiming Windows 7 is the 7th edition of Windows. We have multiple sequels to different versions, with single band spin-offs and portable versions. We are also soon to get Band Hero, DJ Hero and who knows: maybe MC Hero and Tr...

And then I realized that logically speaking, it probably couldn’t be done. That song is on this list by the way. I rocked to it all the way home becau...

Why Rock Band and Guitar Hero are doomed

31 Aug 2009 01:07:37 PDT

Written by RawmeatCowboy
Rock Band and Guitar Hero both became extremely huge franchises. Millions of gamers embraced these franchises in what seemed like an overnight success story. One day we were talking about the music genre being dead, and the next it’s making more money than the industry’s top genres.
