The Gamer Lounge

Our twentieth episode has arrived!  It’s a little bit different of a recording setup this time, but really it sounds even better, which is rather surprising.  As you can tell from the above picture, we are going to talk about Michael Jackson, the iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch, Serious Sam HD, and Best Buy selling used games and movies.  Other topics include my time with a PS3, Hero of Sparta, PSP Phone, 25 games you should play before you die, and more!

And by all means, don’t be shy about leaving reviews on iTunes or contacting the show!  In fact, it would be much appreciated.

Wow, I’ve seen some interesting 360 case mods, but this one made by Frank Gonzales really takes the cake.  If one guy can make stuff like this, why can’t Microsoft give us some crazy options to customize our own cases?  Faceplates?  Not cool.  This?  Hell, yes.

EBGames is currently having a sale on their old music games.  (Most likely making space for The Beatles Rock Band.)  You can get Rock Band 1 for only $69.99 and Rock Band 2 is going for $94.99.  Quite a steal!  Hell, I think I might even pick up the Rock Band 1 bundle.  Come see all the games and prices HERE.

At long last we have an episode again!  In this episode we talk about the delay, a car accident, Wrath of the Lich King, Quantum of Solace, Left4Dead, the iTunes app store, Thanksgiving festivities, and so much more!

In the show, we shared a few links with you that would allow you to keep tabs on what we’re doing.  They will be found below.  (But hey, you’ve already found my main site!  )

My sister and I temporarily take the reigns on this episode and talk about the new iPods, Chuck, Fracture, Warhammer Online, House, CSI Miami, and Larry Bear.   Also, a new hard drive, Apple microphone and how iTunes makes me an honest man.

So like a good little reviewer, I knew I should finish the game before I finialized my thoughts about it. However, I am royally getting my ass handed to me in the Lava World level of the game! I have an idea now of how to get past it, but a save before you fight the dragon would sure be nice!

On another note, I’m actually going to see Tropic Thunder tonight. I’ll finally have a movie to talk about!

Update: I finally got past lava world!  I’ve finished the ice world as well, so I’m about done with the game.  Hopefully I can finish by tomorrow or the day after and get a review up!

Finally, a batch of demos worth playing is on Xbox LIVE. By that I mean…not sports games! First off, before we get any further, let me just say Castle Crashers is a must play. I’m going to write a review for that soon, but even the demo can show you how sweet the game is. It’s hard to believe that puppy is only an Arcade game.

So we’ve heard about it for a year, I’ve put posts about it on the blog, and talked about it on the podcast. Finally, The Force Unleashed demo is here! Except…I’m not that impressed. Continue reading

Because my post about the Pyro updates generated a surprisingly large amount of traffic, I figured I should let you know about the Heavy update!    Yes siree, over the next few days you can find an increasing amount of information here.  http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/

So far they have the achievement icons up, a new map, and the Heavy’s new “upgraded” boxing glove.  Pretty dang cool.

On another note, can anyone tell me if the 360 has even gotten Medic achievements yet?

In this episode Larry and I talk about Wall-E, Journey to the Center of the Earth, iPhone/iPod applications, and tons of stuff from E3!

Sing me A Song!

-Rock Band 2 Premium Drum Kit
-Rock Band 2 Gameplay Trailer
-Rock Band 2 Info

So I’ve got to admit, this looks cool. But one question, what the crap is the difference between this and Guitar Hero World Tour? (Yes I realize it has song creation. But with no vocals who cares?) Maybe if they worked together on one game rather than making two clones this would be even cooler than it already is. While the price tag is looking to be something like $180, with wireless drums it actually looks worth it this time around. So…uhh…for the one guy in the world that hasn’t played Rock Band, is there a solo campaign for the drums?

A Cheaper 360!

Yep, this is true. Saw it in the Best Buy ad today. You can now get the 20gb 360 for only $300. But seriously, has anyone not boughten one yet?

Portal 2

LINK. Awesome! While I can’t say this is my favorite game, I did enjoy playing the game quite a bit. It’s nice to see game developers take some risks and come out with something cool!
