I’ve held an account with Socialthing.com for a while now, thought I would take you on the inside tour of the site, since they’re still in beta. So check out the vid and if you want an invite to it, drop me a comment in this post. I currently have 12 invites. First come first serve.
You have to respect Activision for trying to flood the market with games. Then again, maybe you don’t. Metallica is the much better option, when making a game dedicated to a band. There’s about two songs I’d like to play on the Aerosmith game and about 10 for Metallica. There are only a handful of bands you could make an entire game based upon and god forbid they decide to make Guitar Hero: U2.
“In fiscal 2009, we plan to publish Guitar Hero: On Tour for the (Nintendo DS), Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Guitar Hero: Metallica, and Guitar Hero 4 across multiple platforms,” the company said in its report.

I pulled out the SNES recently for some retro gaming action. The very first game I always look to is Zelda. Thats by far my favorite game on the SNES and one of my favorite Zeldas. Enjoy the review. If you want to see us review another retro game, just drop us a line here or you can send us a message on our contact page.
If you thought Crysis took things to another level, then wait until you see this new video of Far Cry 2.
Not only have they beaten Crysis on the graphic scale, they’ve also beaten them on the dynamics scale. The game looks like Oblivion with guns, which is freaking awesome. This is how you promote a game. You wow people with awesome graphics and dynamics, you don’t have a skateboard in space dropping a deuce on the public.
If you thought the video we showed before looked like a spoof, then you haven’t seen anything yet. The new video delves deeper into the usability and game itself… While completely discrediting and making it virtually un-buyable for anyone who has two bits of dignity.
They’ve pretty much focused the marketing of this game towards kids. Which is fine, if you want to alienate a certain market. I have no idea what the marketing team is thinking here. As you watch the video you keep expecting someone to burst on to the screen and yell “GOTCHA!” Sadly, it never comes. They’ve probably done more to hurt this game by advertising it like this, then raise awareness. Let’s hope they don’t manage to blow it with Guitar Hero: World Tour.
Ok gents, here is the greatest ad for the Wii Fit you will ever see. If they ran this ad on TV I would’ve ran out and bought my wife this game (I’m still not going to buy it, don’t worry). But seriously, if every Nintendo Wii ad involved a hot chick using the Wii I bet Nintendo would triple their income. So watch the short clip and thank me later.
We blew the dust off of an old game, Blast Corps for the N64 recently. I forgot how awesome that game can be. Its a simple setup, but it lets me blow up all sorts of awesome things.
Lets take a walk through of GeoBeats.com. We’re starting to do video reviews of various sites and games online. If you have something you’d like us to review let us know.

Competing for the longest game title in history, the Penny Arcade guys have released a game that will bring you back to the old school days of turn-based attack and slapstick comedy.
After fully playing through the demo, I was impressed. I only found a minor hang up or two while playing the game, but nothing that would effect the outcome of your experience. There were times where I would get stuck behind objects on the map, and if I attacked a certain mob and got hit by another one, my attack would revert to them. Neither made much of a difference.
Usually I don’t care about customizing my character, but the ability to add a snappy suit, spectacles, and a smashing top hat, is a little more then I can resist.
The graphics and characters are well done. They’ve managed to integrate their comics, in with the game so that it has a dual feel of comic and game intertwined as one.
The price is 19.95 and for me, while I enjoyed the game, I don’t know if I myself will be purchasing it. I am a sucker for turn-based games, but the demo itself didn’t give me enough to work with in terms of wanting to make a purchase. However, if you enjoy Penny Arcade and you are into turn-based RPGs, then you will most likely enjoy this offering.
