Rock Band and South Park team up?

I've been kinda iffy on the whole Rock Band thing. I got Guitar Hero 3 and dug it for awhile but now all the songs are played out and I've lost interest. Plus people that are obsessed with Guitar Hero are starting to annoy me. So Rock Band just seemed to be the same thing, just with, drums and bass and singing and guitar. Just seems like a bit much to me. Plus some tracks off the game are in the Guitar Hero games. So if my roommate purchases Rock Band, sure I will play it, but other than that, I have no desire to purchase this. Alright what the hell was I talking about? Oh yeah, South Park and Rock Band teaming up. IGN has reported that Timmy And The Lords Of The Underworlds song Timmy will be an unlockable song on the game. Now this, peaks my interest, as I am a huge South Park fan. This song will be just 1 of 13 unlockable songs. Here is a list of all songs included in the game.

Resistance Fall of Man for PS3 Map Pack 2 News

A new map pack (levels for players to fight and wage war in) will be coming later this month. But thanks to IGN, we snagged a little sneak peak at what is included with the Map Pack 2 update. Which seems great. I have an unhealthy addiction to this damn game. I get online and play in battles for hours and hours a day. I am just 1 rank away from being a Supreme Commander (the highest rank you can possibly get.) Yeah, I know, but fuck it, its a video game, beats the shit out of role playing any day, like E Feds. Those guys are fags. Moving on here are some screenshots and descriptions of the new Map Pack!
Bracknell - A foreboding Chimeran node and Widowmaker breeding ground serve as eerie backdrops to this dark, all-interior environment loosely based on the Resistance single-player level. Players will fight in huge, cavernous spaces, where Chimeran architecture has overtaken an abandoned railway system. Bracknell is designed for both vertical and close-quarters combat, so polish those shotguns and Augers.
Axbridge - Axbridge has the perfect blend of frantic close quarters combat and concealed sniping perches. This map was created specifically for online multiplayer gameplay and not based on any Resistance single-player environment. It features a narrow corridor stretching under and above ground leading to two human bases on either side. The bases are large structures in their own right. Each contains several rooms and expansive fighting spaces.

Connecting the two bases is a large valley with a mix of organic and Chimeran architecture that provides excellent cover. But two large walls in the valley's middle create a heavily contested combat theater. Only the strong will survive!

Speed: The Drinking Game

So me and some fellow fans of the movie Speed decided to come up with a drinking game. We had recently got a PS3 and decided to pop the cherry on that BluRay player with Speed on BluRay. Anywho, I felt I should share the rules for those of you who would like to partake in, Speed, The Drinking Game!

Drink everytime...
You hear the word Bomb
See the Speedometer
Dennis Hopper Smiles

Take a shot when.....
Theres a pop quiz
and when Keanu Reeves says "Have a good one Bob!"

And for the bonus...

Baby Carriage Chug.....
When Sandra Bullock hits that baby carriage, start drinking on the moment of impact, keep drinking while its airborne, and do no stop drinking until it hits the ground. Trust me, its airborne for quite a bit.

The Nintendo Wii: Going Wiitarded


X Box 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii....
A few weeks ago, I decided it was time to get a new console, I got NES, SNES, PS2, Gamecube, and even a fully working Intellevision. I needed something new. But which?

The Wii appealed more but I was worried about the game play. Moving the controllers to control whats going on in the game seemed annoying, X Box didnt impress me at all so I didnt see why the 360 would. And PS3 is awesome but way too expensive. So after weeks of thinking, I finally found, and bought, the Wii. What did I think?

Ive gone Wiitarded, I have coined this phrase, use it and you owe me a nickle.

Not a day goes by there I dont play some Wii. The sports game that came with it is great fun with some friends, the Warioware Smooth Moves game had to have been made by a game developer that was on something at the time. And Zelda is probably the most awesome stuff I have played in years. Sure PS3 and 360 look good and the graphics rule, but what else? Thats it! Ive played 360 games and PS3 games and its just the same ol shit. Just prettier looking. Nintendo is the one that has taken video gaming to the next level. Nintendo even said they were not concentrating on improving their graphics, but improving the experience and game play, and they succeded. So whats great? Whats not?

Virtual Console: Whats this? Well the Wii can connect to the internet, either plug it in, or if you got a router, youre all set because the Wii can go wireless. The VC is where you can go and buy old school games. For the NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, or Turbo GraFX. I have been looking everywhere for Kid Icarus for NES and recently it was released on the VC. All you got to do is by some points, then download the game you want. Not many are out now for this, but every Monday Nintendo releases 3 or 4 games for the VC for you to download.

The Controllers: Not as bad as I was expecting. In Zelda you really only do motion control if you want to slice at someone with your sword, or aim to shoot something with your bow/slingshot/boomerang. And if you are fishing, in which you use your controller exactly like you would a fishing rod, which is quite fun. With the sports game, its the same, playing tennis, just make the movements like you would playing tennis, same with boxing, bowling, and all else. I played Cars and the driving was fun, you steer the remote as you would a steering wheel. If you are going to play a VC game you either can use the Wii remote, or you have to buy a Wii Classic Controller. But the other cool thing is....

Gamecube Ready: The system takes Wii discs, and Gamecube discs. You can insert your Gamecube memory card, and you can even use the Gamecube controllers on the Wii system to play the Virtual Console games!

The Games: I have only got my hands on a couple so far, but I have not been let down. Zelda is freaking phenomenal and I always hate picking it up and playing for the sole reason that once I do I know I will spend a couple hours on it.

The Leisure: Sitting on the couch but dont want to get up to turn the Wii on? Its ok, you can turn the Wii on using the wireless controller and start playing. I love this feature. You can also turn the Wii back off after you are done.

Overall, if PS3 wasnt expensive, and the 360 had better games, I would still go with the Wii first. So many different options to do on it, you can even surf the internet, I was on MySpace the other day on my Wii. The Virtual Console is fantastic, I now have Kid Icarus thanks to it, as well as a couple other timeless classics. Even Mario Kart 64.

But on March 6th, the fun begins with Mario Party 8 comes out on the Wii, I cant wait to see what they did for this game for the Wii. It will indeed be a party.
