Can't Wait for the Holiday Season ....

I can't wait for the holiday season! So many great things are coming out, Assasin's Creed 2, Lego Rockband, and coming out this month alone are Need for Speed Shift, Brutal Legend, and Uncharted 2. I played both demos for Brutal Legend and Need for Speed Shift recently and I am very impressed by both of them. Now don't get me wrong, I know Brutal Legend is in no way going to win game of the year, but it is a great game if you like blood, gore, Jack Black, and hilarious one-liners. Graphics are nothing special but still capture the story quite well. Gameplay is great with simple button combos for combat, switching between range attacks with the guitar and melee attacks with the axe. Jack Black makes for a great hero to this game and is non stop with the quick one-liners. This game is a definate play all the way in my book.


Need for Speed Shift is finally the revamping that the franchise needed. Amazing details in the cockpit view putting you in the driver seat of real vehicles with real specs, no more going 200 miles an hour in a honda civic that you upgraded to the extreme. Realalistic drivng feel and road conditions, the only down fall is the graphics with damage done to the vehicles is a little boxy. This game has pushed racing to the edge without going over.


Last thing, if you are a fan of the music genre of games then Lego Rockband is coming out December 12. A great family addition to the group of Rockbands already out that mixes the fun and great song selection of Rockband with the comicial view of lego people playing the music and going crazy in the crowd. Queen, Blink 182, and Pink are just some of the artist listed out of the full song list posted on 1up.com. This shows the mix of songs for everybody in the family. Also before I forget, Playstation has started their own blog at blog.us.playstation.com. Check it out for up to date info on new games and previews. I will also add it to my link list for future reference.
