Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock

guitar-hero-3-360-bundle1Crank up that amp because its time to rock! I just picked up Guitar Hero III a couple days ago and its been utterly addicting. The game play is fast, the songs are great (I was ecstatic when I saw Metallica’s “One” on the playlist), and there is a solid selection of modes to choose from.

I had actually attempted to learn how others played by watching several youtube clips, but instead of helping me to get better, it actually discouraged me! Some of these kids were playing the game like they were born with the guitar in their hand. Expert mode looked so easy as I watched them fret away. I have already encountered some difficulty just playing medium. I can’t imagine ever getting through expert.

So far, the hardest song I’ve completed was “Raining Blood” by Slayer during The Battle for your Soul tour. Even on easy I had missed way too many notes. I’m not sure if I’ll ever perfect that song.

Now for my Pro’s and Con’s of Guitar Hero III.

Halo2 Party

Its been awhile since I’ve had time to sit down and blog. Actually its been awhile since I’ve had time to do anything really recreational. I had grades to finish and work started up again this past Tuesday. Yesterday, I finally had a day to do nothing so I gathered the guys for a Halo2 party at the house. I used to be a very hardcore gamer, but since I finished college its been tough to put in the time to get really good at any game. I used to get whooped playing the original Halo because I just didn’t have time to practice.

Things have changed a bit since then. After taking a serious beating with Halo, I made time to get decent at Halo2.

Last night I actually placed pretty good during our Free For All Battles and during Team Slayer I actually won quite a few metals. Girls love them metals! LOL. We started at noon and ended at midnight. I was exhausted and a bit drunk by the time the party was over. We also played some games online using xbconnect and that was pretty fun except that it lagged pretty badly and some of the regular clans gave us good beatings. Athough we lost those matches, we fought like men till the last life was taken. I think in time our team of 6 will win more games.

This was the first time I hosted a party and Im sure it wont be the last. Hey N8 Dogg! Watch out Screen LOOKER! muwhahahaha.
