It's been some time

It's be a fair few months since I left the internets in search of a new hope and dream, and all that happened was I played alot of guitar hero and ended up back here wanting to do some reviews. So, once i get up-to-date with my current affairs I'll be back in action (about a week or so) and I'll be bringing my review of the following games in my Uber Special Welcome Back Episode!

Brutal Legend!
Guitar Hero Van Halen
Magna Carta 2
and last but not least
South Park Let Go Tower Defence Play!

See you in a week or so, and in the mean time, keep your eyes peeled for any up and coming releases. Want it reviewed? E-mail me at adman.cooper@googlemail.com!

Male 7th Heaven Fans Likely to be Infected by Malware

Because why else would a male be watching 7th Heaven other than to ogle at Jessica Biel?

A McAfee annual survey has named Jessica Biel this year's most likely celebrity to net web surfers a malware infection. Downloading Jessica Biel "wallpapers, screensavers, photos, and videos" could lead to much less joy than previously anticipated.

In fact, there is a one-in-five chance that an internet search for Jessica Biel will lead to a site hosting "spyware, malware, viruses, adware, spam, or phishing scams." In Jessica's defense, just about any search seems to have the same chance for me.

McAfee pointed out that Jessica Biel screensavers are a particularly troubling item, giving downloaders just a 50% chance to remain uninfected. So, maybe it would be best to stick to starfield to avoid burn-in for now. I just feel bad for all those wholesome 7th Heaven fans simply looking for a sweet church-going girl to grace their computer screens.

According to McAfee Avert Labs VP Jeff Green, cybercriminals follow celebrity popularity to determine what types of media to disguise malicious software in. I can just imagine how many must follow TMZ like hawks.

On a side note, Jessica Biel is going to be in the upcoming Thor movie according to her IMDb, which will undoubtedly bring her to the top of the list again for the year the movie releases, assuming it's not terrible. This also makes her much cooler.

Time for an Upgrade

Those of you that ever read this blog might be wondering where the updates are? Well, what with juggling work and all that I am actually in the progress of upgrading my current abode to something more....awesome.

So, as it stands, I haven't had a minute to update since I am moving house! Yes, I'm moving out of my hole currently called home into a better place soon to be called home. It's rediculous the ammout of stuff I've aquired in about 9 months, but theres lots of it, 2 monitors as well as my original 2, Rock Band stuff, Guitar Hero stuff, about 100 DVD's, props, costumes, film gear and what not. Theres a huge pile of crap I have no idea about it's origins and loads of paper work. This list all comes before furniture, which the lucky mover will get free of charge just because I can't be bothered to deal with it. As well as all the kitchen stuff! To be honest, theres alot more than I thought, let alone anyone else.

Either way, once the move is complete expect more. I currently have a new video in the works which required editing and stuff, but just don't have the ime right now.

So until next time..

Enjoi

Let Us Rock!

The internet is abuzz with the recent release of Guitar Hero Metallica, and while we all head bang to "Master of Puppets" and "Enter Sandman" something has slipped through the net to a certain extent.

 

Red Octane, the developers of the Guitar hero franchise, have recently released news of Guitar Hero 5, and a new addition to the Hero family, DJ Hero. At this year's E3 some lucky folks were able to get hands on with Guitar Hero 5 and see its new "Party Play" feature, as well as news, unveiled no less by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, that The Beatles: Rock Band is in the works. Anyway, more on the Beatles later, back to GH5. It's set for shipping for PS2, PS3, Wii and XB360 on September 1^st and will feature, as I said, a "Party Play" mode. This new feature will allow 4 players to jam using any combination of guitar, microphone, bass and drums (including multiple of the same instrument) to playlists up to 128 songs in size. Users can drop in and out of the action or swap instruments at will, choose to tackle tracks like Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" or pass on Tom Petty's "Running Down a Dream" as the mood strikes. By synchronising responses with timed on screen prompts, aspiring rock stars add harmony back to hit singles from starring acts including Elton John, Jimmy Eat World, Johnny Cash, Queens of the Stone Age and Kiss.

 

Also demo'ed at E3 was a new "RockFest" mode, enjoyable with 4 band members locally, or eight online. Five distinct flavours of action include such options as "Momentum," wherein successfully shredding 20 notes in sequence increases game difficulty, while missing three chords instead causes it to drop. Likewise, "Streakers" challenges players to consistently pound out flawless successions of notes, while knockout mode "Elimination" causes the lowest-scoring player to be dropped every 30 seconds.

 

As well as all this awesomeness, I have news that Guitar Hero: Van Halen, has been CONFIRMED, and is due out some time this year.

 

Back to "The Beatles: Rock Band". Due for release on September 9^th, the Rock Band franchise adds another to it's slowly growing list of games. The game is set for release across the 3 main consoles, these being the Wii, PS3 and XB360, the game features creative input from all, including contributions by Dhani Harrison, son of the late George, who was instrumental in the project's creation. As members of the Fab Four, represented on-screen by 3D virtual avatars, players can strum on guitar, sing or play drums along with the band to smash hits including "Here Comes the Sun" and "I Saw Her Standing There." Hitting stores the same day the Beatles' entire digitally remastered catalog arrives on CD, 45 tracks will be playable courtesy of Rock Band developer Harmonix. Ten were revealed today, ranging from "Back in the USSR" to "Octopus's Garden," "I Am the Walrus" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand," while the complete Abbey Road album will be available for download at launch. According to music supervisor Giles Martin, all tracks have been remastered for optimum quality.

 

"The game is good, the graphics are good, and we look great," chuckled Starr. So too did the game's introductory movie, previewed for the first time, a head-spinning montage of anthropomorphic suns, Donnie Darko-esque rabbit-headed performers and vintage-era concert sets. Like actual gameplay itself, the video spans the decades from 1963 Liverpool to the band's psychedelic years. Fashion, scenery and artistic styles will change to reflect each period, with classic performances highlighted running the gamut from the band's unforgettable appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show to its seminal gig at Budokan in Tokyo.
