So You Think You Can Rock?

Snapping at the heels of Guitar Hero III is Rock Band, a similar rhythm game that gives players the freedom to pretend that they are a rock star, AND lets them get away with it too.

I am amazed how no one has thought about pitting players against armed with a guitar, bass, drums and their vocal prowess against each other before, but developer Harmonix obviously has a gem in their hands with Rock Band. This game is more about cooperative multiplayer than anything, because obviously you cannot form a rock band all on your own! Players basically team up in a rock band to create performances and gain the highest scores together as they play a medley of 40 officially licensed musical tracks.

Tom Clancy’s games are full of espionage-themed missions, terrorists and close quarter gun battles. The Rainbow Six Vegas series for the XBOX 360 is not excluded, and fans of the first game will surely love the sequel to the XBOX Rainbow Six Vegas 2 game. The story in the first R6V ended on a cliffhanger, and Ubisoft banked on fans’ curiosity to sell the second.

Nothing much has changed in the game play although enemies’ Artificial Intelligence has been slightly increased. Another notable feature is the ACES system that stands for “Advanced Combat Enhancement and Specialization”. Players will be given a great array of weapons depending on the tactics employed to progress through the game, namely Marksman, Assault and CQB (Close Quarter Battle). Translated, this means that if one of your opponents fell by Headshot, you might unlock a spiffy new sniper riffle thanks to the Marksman division as detected by the ACES system.

Have you ever wished that you could make minor improvements for your beloved XBOX 360 and have it perform optimally? Here are some XBOX walkthroughs on how you can make your favorite gaming console work the way you wanted it to be – Do It Yourself style!

First, did you know that you can save money by opting NOT to purchase the official XBOX 360 premium HDMI cable? If you have not bought the XBOX 360 Elite due to cash constraint, you can save $49.99 and STILL enjoy HDMI and Digital Optical features. You might have discovered that the HDMI and component AV slots are in extremely close proximity, and noticed that the component AV is encased in a thick casing. For these reasons, there is no way you can plug them both into your XBOX 360 at the same time. To counter this, you need a basic HDMI cable. Remove the plastic casing from your AV cable by carefully slitting the sides with a pen knife, and voila – $49.99 saved from the clutches of Microsoft!

It is no secret that Microsoft’s XBOX 360 is a formidable rival for Sony’s third-gen console, the PS3. This white beauty was first released to the public on November 2005 after spending over two years in Microsoft’s development womb. It features a 3.2 Ghz CPU, 20GB storage space (120GB for the latest Elite version), 3 USB 2.0 ports and even boasts of backward compatibility, enabling XBOX 360 owners to play 465 previously released XBOX games as long as they have the latest updates.

I love the XBOX 360 for the endless possibilities that lie within the communication aspects of the gaming community. With XBOX Live, a headset and Live Vision camera, one can chat without restraint, in or out of any game. Upon purchasing your first XBOX 360, Microsoft lets you have a taste of the unlimited gaming prospects with the free 1-month XBOX Live Gold subscription and you can renew your membership after it expires the following month.
