Football Hero – It’s Guitar Hero But For Football Fanatics

I’ve never been a fan of guitar hero (I have some eye/hand coordination problems :)), so after seeing this video i was blown away. They took it to the next level.

Rated M For More Of the Same Crap You’ve Already Played

I totally agree with this video, the ODST campaign took me and Heema just 4 hours to complete. The second disk is just Halo 3 with the same maps you might already have. The only thing new is the Firefight mode, which I haven’t tried yet. is it really worth the full $60?? No.

This game I really wish I have rented it.

What Games To Buy in October

It’s the beginning of the month, that means its time for my top picks for October. The list will cover Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 only, as usual, and are in release order.

Multi-platform Games (XBox 360/PS3)

NBA Live 10

10/06

EA seems to be on the right track with their games, They are being praised a lot and getting good reviews all around. With NFL 10 (highest rating NFL game in this generation of consoles) and NFS: SHIFT (arguably the best Need For Speed game ever released) just to name a few.

Hope NBA live doesn’t disappoint.

Are You An iPhone Addict?

Here are the top 5 signs that you are addicted to your iPhone. Plus an added one from me. You gotta love that iPhone.

1. You find that you go into a massive depression and have panic attacks when you get the 20% battery pop up warning.

4. You just spent the last 4 hours on Facebook.

5. Your partner, husband, or wife bans any mobile phone usage at restaurants, bars and cafes in the presence of your friends and family.

* You start emailing your friends links of yourself singing rap songs using the “I am T-Pain” app.

Blu-Ray Region Guide

There seems to be a lot of confusion around blu-rays region/zoning dilemma coming from the DVD. I noticed that after the recent PS3 post.

So this is a quick guide,here it goes:

DVD’s had 6 zones as shown in the graph below:

But Blu-rays have 3 regions:

But blu-ray has an unspoken secret, most movies are region free, so it doesn’t matter what  region your player is. You can check the Blu-ray titles here

As for the PS3, all PS3 games are playable on all region consoles, there is no region lock for games. But the restrictions are on DVDs and some blu-ray movies, so you wont be able to play your PS2 games (not an issue with the newer models)/DVD movies that you purchased from amazon if you have a PAL PS3 and vice-versa.

PS3 Slim For 69KD

The PS3 slim is being sold for 69KD by the official dealer in Kuwait (Supplying Store Company) at their Avenues branch only while supplies last.

This must be a PAL system with 120GB HDD, that can play all PS3 games and most Bluray movies. But it wont play your existing DVD collection or region locked Bluray movies.

This is a great buy if you want the system for playing games mainly.

What Games To Buy in September

With Batman: Arkham Asylum released a few days ago, and it being on of the most anticipated games of the summer, now we look forward to see what September has to offer.

*Note: A lot of games have been pushed back to 1st quarter of 2010 because of the amount of games being released in this quarter. And because no company wants to release its game so close to Modern Warfare 2, which will be released in November.

In other words, My top upcoming Xbox 360 and PS3 games lists are a little outdated.

XBox 360 To Get A 250Gb HDD?

Right after Sony’s PS3 Slim’s announcement, Microsoft hit back with taking $100 of the XBox Elite’s price, putting it in the same ballpark as the PS3 both now cost $299.

Amazon Germany listed a new SKU that that is bundled with 2 wireless controllers, Forza motor sport 3 and a 250GB hard drive for $400. Microsoft currently sells 120GB maximum. That is big news for people like me that have the original 20GB hard drive and are holding out for an upgrade. I’ve been using the “install on hard drive” function on the 360 and love it, but the 20GB doesn’t hold much.

Amazon Germany took of the webpage but they have history of leaking new consoles before their announcement.
