Another music game has recently hit store shelves with Activision’s Band Hero. Band Hero has been positioned as a more family friend version of Guitar Hero. While the lyrics for some of the songs on Guitar Hero are edited to maintain the critical teen rating, Band Hero goes the extra mile and plays it safe…
The wait is finally over and Modern Warfare 2 has finally released worldwide. Modern Warfare 2 has been one of the most highly anticipated games of 2009 and with good reason. Simply put, this game is awesome. Infinity Ward took the winning formula from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and improved upon it in…
When I initially heard about DJ Hero I was excited because it sounded like it could be a great game if it was done right. Fortunately, it was done right and Activision has given us a great new game that is a breath of fresh air in the music and rhythm genre. DJ Hero is…
Guitar Hero 5 is Activision’s latest title in the popular Guitar Hero franchise. With this being one of the “main” titles there have definitely been some improvements made to the formula.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is like the majority of other movie based games. It has potential and it could have been something very cool, however, it was just made as a tie in for the movie, nothing more. The entire game is bland and uninspired. It feels like the developers came up with an…
Guitar Hero Smash Hits is the latest Guitar Hero to hit store shelves and it is definitely a mixed bag. On one hand it is a great idea to bring in older songs from previous titles that couldn’t be played in a band setting so that you can play those songs with friends. On the…
Prototype is a mixed bag. At first glance you could compare it to an open world title similar to Crackdown. As far as story goes Crackdown didn’t have a particularly strong story and neither does Prototype. It’s told to you via cinematics and “Web of Intrigue” flashbacks. “Web of Intrigue” flashbacks have you seeing some…
Guitar Hero Metallica is the latest iteration in the popular Guitar Hero series. As the title suggests this game is a tribute to the band Metallica and contains some of their most popular music along with twenty guest acts. Much like with Guitar Hero World Tour you can also create your own rocker as well…
