As you may know, the bundles for these games are not cheap. The games will most likely run you close to $200 to play a game with multiple instruments. Now, if I wanted to get both games and be able to use all the instruments, would I have to buy both bundles? I decided to do a little research to see if there would be any compatibility between the two and this is what I found.
For the most part, Guitar Hero's instruments will work with the first Rock Band on the Xbox360. That was confirmed by Neversoft Director Brian Bright. That's great and all, but what about Rock Band 2? Will I have to shell out another $200 to get instruments that work with the game?
As of right now, the only solution would be to purchase one of the Rock Band bundles because Guitar Hero World Tour will support all of the instruments. What bothers me about that is the fact that I hate the Rock Band peripherals. To me, the Guitar Hero guitar is much easier for me to play with and much more comfortable than Rock Band's Fender guitar. For a person looking to purchase the Guitar Hero bundle and somewhere down the line wants to purchase Rock Band 2, I suggest that you wait and see what is yet to come with the compatibility.
It is still early and these games have a couple months yet until release, but who else is with me on this?
Hey guys. I was just wondering if any of you would like to accompany me in completing the campaign on legendary? I still have yet to do so and I know that I will need some help. So if you want to, leave me a message on xbox live and we'll figure out what time to start playing.
Thanks.
Wow! Wasn't the Microsoft conference awesome! So many great games and new features coming to the console that I never knew I would have purchased. Holy crap!
This is off topic but a skunk is outside and it's stinking up my room!
So from all the excitement, what could possibly be boring? Well, many things. Boring may not be the word I'm looking for. Maybe, lack of something new or different from this site.
As many people may agree, or disagree, GameSpot is a pretty cool site. It was my first video game site that I visited back in 2000 and I thought it was pretty cool. I've been interested in new things that are offered on the internet lately and they are actually fun and interesting. One of them is Live Streaming Video!
Let's face it, there are a lot of people who love to use a camera now. I liked the idea of recording a video of me playing a certain game or giving my thoughts on something that I had some interest in. There are a ton of sites now that offer this feature and it seems to be sweeping the internet. The site that I like to go on and stream from is ustream.tv.
I actually believe that what they offer is going to be something that, when used by certain people, will become a huge way to get something out there. I've started doing some streams of me playing some video games. Now, I'm not professional or anything, but I actually have fun with this and I want to have shows or something on there that would attract gamers to my channel. Seems that the big thing to do is play Guitar Hero or Rock Band.
What I'm getting at is, blogging is cool and all, but having your own show that can be seen by anyone is pretty cool. Even if you just have a webcam on a stack of cd's pointed at the tv, like me, you could stream your video gameplay to anyone. With the ability to chat with others who come into your room, you could maybe set up a band or play co-op in one of your favorite games. I am actually going to be streaming again later today.
Now, I know this is starting to sound like an Ad for ustream, but I just wanted to say that it is fun. You guys are free to come check out my channel and if you are already on the site, add me as a friend. I'm sure that there is great promise in this great internet feature. HERE is my channel.
Oh, I almost forgot, FFXIII ON 360! That announcement just gives Sony a lesser chance to come out on top in the U.S. imo.
Retro Revival Week is now half over and there are a bunch of you guys taking part in it. Not to try to get you to pull yourselves away from your games, but maybe you can take a break, relax and watch some of GamePro TV. I remember my dad waking up at 5am just so he could tape the show for me. Sometimes, I would wake up from the light of the TV peaking through my door and I would come out and watch it with him.
There was also another video game show that I have never seen until YouTube had some episodes. Video Power was a game show that involved video game trivia and a round where kids would compete for a high score. I can't seem to find any episodes that I used to watch so I can't link them. I thought this show was kinda corny but was awesome because it was from the 90's and corny back then makes it awesome now.
I couldn't make a blog about TV shows without having Nick Arcade on there could I? This was my second favorite show about video games next to GamePro. Even though a couple of the games weren't real, it was still a great show to wake up to. All I cared about were seeing the video games. If it was still on, I would absolutely watch it.
There were also shows based on Super Mario and Zelda. I actually have the Super Mario Brothers Super Show on DVD. I think they also have the Zelda cartoon on DVD as well so I will need to pick that up sometime. I'm sure that most of us, who grew up in the late 80's and early 90's, would remember watching these shows and would appreciate them just for pure nostalgia.
Well, those were my retro tv shows that I wanted to talk about. Have a show that I didn't list here that goes along with Retro Revival Week? Show it off and say why you like it. I would like to hear from you guys who like any of these shows or any that I didn't list.
Well, I have a sudden craving for some boxing and I wanted to get Fight Night Round 3 for the 360. But since it is retro revival week, I thought that I would play a game that I have had a lot of fun with over the years. If you guys seem interested, I may wind up doing a video on it. Let me know if you would want to see some footage.
