  Help Make Union Awards 2011 A Reality!

  Many of you weren't around back then, but at one time gamespot used to create every year an awards show for all the unions on Gamespot, in order to recognize outstanding unions. Sadly, the last one was in 2007 and since then there hasn't been a new one.
  
  It's time for a renaissance however! The Union Awards are back, although we need help from everybody to make this as successful as previous years. Here is the link to the thread where this is being worked upon, we're looking for volunteers and people to help spread this throughout all the unions in gamespot. We want to make this as unbiased as possible and have as many people as possible from the community involved in this project. Let's raise awareness for unions and honor those who've been successful!
  
  Help us bring back the Union Awards by copying this and posting this in your blogs and unions!

  Final Fantasy XIII music?

  Don't get me wrong – I like Final Fantasy XIII. The game has beautiful art design and is a joy to look at. It's also having a pretty good combat system where you feel like you are actually beating up on the enemy.

  What made the game a bit of a nuisance to play for me was the music. Not that the music is bad but its just so misplaced. During a Cut sheen where a main character is telling a tragic story the music is hammering away playing something that would be great in a western parody. This would normally not be a problem as I tend to crank the volume down on the music in games but this is not an option the developers see fit to grant me. For me its seems strange they made this choice – I would understand if the music played a part in the story but given the strange matching of mood and music they made this doesn't seem to be the case.

  It might just be me not understanding the JRPG genre but if this is the normal music to impose on this type I'll probably pass the next one. And this is a shame as I really like Final Fantasy XIII I just wished they would have given me the option to play without either the sound turned off or risk a mental breakdown.

  So if your like me and have a problem ignoring the music you might thing twice before digging into Final Fantasy XIII. If not then go get the game – the story is good, the combat is good, the graphics is good and you will get good value for your money.

  Madden NFL 10

  Just bought Madden NFL 10 not quite knowing the rules of American football

  But doing the reserch on Wikipedia I've managed to get the ground covered. I for one hate soccer and most sports but American football and baseball is quite fun to watch and now I can add play.

  For some reson I ended up with the 49'eres just because I know people in San Fransisco and I'm having a blast.

  If you have any interest in American football you have to get this game - I'll even let you win a few times.....
