Guitar Hero III

Friday, October 26th, 2007

Just two more days until the release. I’ll pick it up Monday night after I get back into town. Short sentences = me being excited. There is another great group of songs. There are some again that I’ve never heard of and some that I could take or leave, but most just rock and will be a lot of fun.

Best part: The Devil Went Down to Georgia as the final song.

It’ll take me a couple of years of practice to beat it on expert, but I still can’t wait to try.

The Orange Box

Friday, October 26th, 2007

The recent commercials for The Orange Box piqued my curiosity, especially the Portal portion of the game. The wormhole gun concept seemed like an interesting variation in the First Person Shooter game line. The commercial has worked so far: I went to their website, was impressed by the game trailer and am now considering buying the game. The infinite variety of being able to transport from any wall, floor, or surface to any other boggles the mind.

Then again, there is a flash version of this concept. I might just stick with that.
