RPG Cravings

0

The November game rush has started for me a little early this year. Just put in an order for .hack//G.U. Volume 1: Rebirth for the Playstation 2. I was actually out last night trying to find it in stores, but I guess the supply chain hadn’t caught up with the release schedule yet since nobody had it.

I’ve been craving a Japanese style RPG for a little while now and this happened to be released. I’ve heard some mixed things about it in the reviews, but overall it’s positive. Hopefully I’ll like it. I love games with really good stories and this one, by all accounts, has a pretty good one.

In other video game news, I placed a pre-order for Guitar Hero 2. There’s a video floating around of Free Bird from it being played on the Hard setting. That song is going to be fun to play.

Mmmmm…Guitar Hero 2 Demo

I’ve been meaning to mention this for a while but last weekend I picked up the demo of Guitar Hero 2 for the Playstation 2 that’s available on the demo disc of the Official Playstation Magazine this month.

Wooo! Good stuff. Espically YYZ. I’m a big Rush fan and I was really happy to hear they included YYZ. It’s really, really complex, but it’s also fun “playing” a song that I know so well. Makes my hands hurt though after running through it. A friend of mine played it on a lower difficulty setting and said something to the effect that she heard all the notes she wasn’t playing and was scared. The Kiss song, Strutter I think, is also pretty fun to play.

I’m eagerly awaiting the release of the game in November, among other things. Like the Nintendo Wii. I just heard a couple of my friends (the same ones as mentioned above) are going to be camping out at Best Buy waiting for the midnight release. They’re nuts!

Is It A Bad Sign…

Random thought of the moment: Is it a bad sign when you go home for lunch feeling as tired as you would at the end of the entire day?

Anyway, just so this isn’t a one sentence post, I saw some new info on one of the games coming out this fall that I’m eagerly awaiting, Guitar Hero 2. According to videogamesblogger.com, a whole bunch of cool new stuff is going into this edition, including a multiplayer mode where two players compete against each other playing the same notes, easier hammer-ons and pull-offs and three note chords.

Another song was also revealed. Freebird. Check out the Official Movie 2 for some footage. After seeing a little bit of the final solo, I think a friend of mine had the proper phrase: “holy mother of god”

It releases on the 24th of November…I’m counting down the days.
