No Rompas Tu Chanchito Para Comprar Guitar Hero Aun.

October 29th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

Segun Activision, y muchos reportes de usuarios, el set de bateria incluida en cada paquete de Guitar Hero: On Tour viene con fallas que impiden que puedan detectar todas las notas. Aunque supuestamente este defecto solo esta presente en un numero mimino de unidades, no quisiera pagar $190 US para descubrir que me gane la loteria de la mala fortuna. Muy pronto se sabra si Activision tendra una solucion oficial a este problema. Hasta ahora solo se sabe que la mayoria de problemas se encuentra con las baterias de la version del Playstation 3.

Por Fin Regresamos De Una Largas Vaciones!

October 29th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Digital Bits

Con tanto tiempo libre usted penso que ibamos a jugar de todo verdad? Ni macateta señores, nos dedicamos a la naturaleza, al futbol al aire libre. Sin sonar como hippie, la verdad que uno se olivdadque hacer deporte y estar afuera es algo grandioso. Sin quitarle meritos a los video-juegos y su divercion, una que otra ves la naturaleza nos enseña que ni el mejor programador del mundo lograria lo que nos brinda un partido de futbol en gramados naturales. No nos portemos de los mas viciosos, demos chance a que nuestros pulmones y extremidades tambien tengan su momento.

WiiWare Revela Estos Dos Juegos Esta Semana.

October 28th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Digital Bits

Bueno esto no es ni Rock Band ni Guitar Hero On Tour, pero Strong Bad es comico y algo para delietar a los que les gusta burlarse de la vida.

Strong Bad Episode 3: Baddest of the Bands (Telltale Games, 1 player, Rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and Older - Alcohol Reference, Crude Humor, Mild Cartoon Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes, 1,000 Wii Points): Rock and roll! Hurting for cash, Strong Bad sets out to dominate the “Battle Royale of the Bands.” Can he rule the stage and win the big prize? Or will he be drowned out by the competition? Find out in this high-voltage episode.

Art Style: ROTOHEX, un juego que para mi parece para los super intelectuales casi nerds. Basicamente tienes que crear un hexagano con las pieces que caen en la pantalla. Si no eres muy bueno para la geometria, no recomendaria que te rompas la campeza estudiando como decifrar esta prueba estudiantil disfrazada de juego. Pero si te gusta lo diferente e “inteligente” quizas esto sea para ti. Igual aca lo que declara Nintendo:

(Nintendo, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 600 Wii Points): Use colored triangular panels to create a vibrant mosaic of stained glass in Art Style: ROTOHEX. As triangles fall from the top of the screen, rotate them to group six panels of the same color and create a matching hexagon, or HEX. Once the HEX has been formed, it will disappear, allowing the existing panels to shift and more panels to fill the playing field. A clear-cut goal and two different styles of intuitive controls allow you to focus solely on the game play-which is vital, as the playing field will be full of panels before you know it. With multiple modes (unlock more as you progress further in SOLO mode), special item panels at your disposal, and the ability to play cooperatively or competitively with a friend, there will always be another HEX to create.

Lo que dice Nintendo:

One day, during an outer space fight, a suit drops to Earth and falls around Jim. It mutates him into a large and intelligent (at least by earthworm standards) superhero. Play as Jim in this Sega Genesis classic. When Jim learns of the evil plans of Psy-Crow and Queen Slug-for-a-Butt, he decides to rescue Princess What’s-Her-Name. Run, gun, swing on hooks by your head and launch cows at the interesting characters you meet along the way, such as Major Mucus, Chuck and Fifi, Evil the Cat, and Bob the Killer Goldfish.

I Spent $25 On A Gamecube For A Good Cause.

Giving

Going overseas for most means debauchery and sightseeing, hopefully in that order. For our small GameRoks’ team, we take it as a great opportunity to introduce those less fortunate to the addicting and brain cell killing world of gaming. Our yearly trip to less capitalistics countries has targeted Ecuador, the land of the Equator and Darwin studied giant turtles. Ironically, the country that led to the theory of evolution is not known for any kind of revolution in games. Sure they got Wii and the HD systems, but I don’t think they ever saw Windwaker or the other five good ‘Cube games. 

You may ask why bring them an old sytem, you may even think that’s not even charitable, we see it as helping them with out hinderence. Remember when Ophrah thought she was being really nice by giving away Ferraris to each member of her audience? Altough the car might of actully been a Kia of some variety, a number of audience members could not afford the tax this new gift demanded, so they were forced to sell it. Would a family who could barely afford to eat really benefit from a system that requires games close to $60 a pop when that’s what a family brings in a month? Our charitable hearts are always paplitating so of course they’ll get a “new-gen” system once we have them hooked. In the meantime, I think a Gamecube would be a great starter system. Sarcasm aside, it has many great multiplayer games. Remember, a family that plays together curses and bashes the controller to the ground together for life!

So we are very open to suggestions as to what games to bring our Ecuadorean gaming homies. Let’s just hope they don’t tease us by ductaping it to the other Gamecubes they might already have.
