By Chris Davies on Sunday, Jul 20th 2008 No Comments

Dell Mini Inspiron 2 The budget ultraportable trend showed no signs of slowing this week, as Acer’s Aspire One hit US shelves priced from $379. Meanwhile, sources close to Dell’s suppliers tipped the company’s upcoming ‘E’ netbook as carrying a mere $299 price tag, and perhaps even landing as early as next month.

As for grown-up notebooks, Intel finally made the Centrino 2 platform official, and with it the promise of not only faster processors but native draft-N WiFi support and longer battery life. In fact this week the company had plenty to be pleased about, as they soundly thrashed arch-rival AMD with their Q2 2008 financial performance.

By Chris on Friday, Jul 18th 2008 No Comments

With Guitar Hero: World Tour featuring four instruments, one has to wonder just how similar the UI is going to be to that other game with four instruments. Well Activision has released a few screenshots of their upcoming title, and I must say, it does look rather familiar.

Activision confirms compatibility with Rock Band instruments in Guitar Hero: World Tour

By Chris on Thursday, Jul 17th 2008 No Comments

I have to admit that I’ve been pretty unhappy with Activision over the whole guitar incompatibility issue. Sure, I rock out on my 360 so I haven’t had any issues, however, one of my best friends is more of a PS3 guy. He’s only dropped the cash for a single Guitar Hero controller, however, his Rock Band Strat sits there begging to be used. Well it seems that this won’t be such an issue for the next GH title.

Guitar Hero: On Tour gets a sequel this Fall

By Chris on Thursday, Jul 17th 2008 No Comments

I’m all for having sequels for popular games, I really am. However, there’s a point when I wonder how soon is too soon, and how many is too many. Take Guitar Hero: On Tour for example. I didn’t particularly care for the game or its controller, however, the game sold rather well, which might make one think they would start putting out DS versions of their series out on a semi-regular basis. I just didn’t expect them to have one geared up and ready to be released in a mere matter of months.

Metallica to release Death Magnetic album as DLC for GH III, IV

By Chris on Wednesday, Jul 16th 2008 1 Comment

I have to admit that my love for Metallica has been waning over the past several years. Not only has their music not been as great, but ever since they started promoting the suing of fans for downloading music, I’ve just not been as excited by their music. One place that I still enjoy hearing it is in both Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Well it looks like I might actually purchase their latest album, this time for Guitar Hero, marking the first time I’ve cared to obtain an entire Metallica album in a decade or so.

How many of you have seen the movie Top Gun? Now, of those people, how many of you had aspirations of one day flying your own F-14 Tomcat? If you answered yes to the first question but no to the second, you’re lying. Everyone wanted to fly a jet after that movie. That, and buy a motorcycle. Well since most of us didn’t actually live out that dream, we’ll just have to settle for downloading the movie’s theme song on Guitar Hero III.

I’ve been on the fence about Guitar Hero On Tour ever since it was first announced. I mean, just how much fun would Guitar Hero be without the guitar? Well I’ve had about a week to play with it, so I figured it was time for me to share my thoughts.
