Have I said how much I despise the title of the new James Bond movie? With that said Activision’s new James Bond game is looking pretty tasty. The official game website is an example of why Flash sucks. It’s slow and busy as heck. Absolutely hate it, but it does have all the community bells and whistles you’d expect. If you want to be frustrated, Check it out.
I’ve always been more a fan of Guitar Hero than Rockband, even though I recently purchased about 40 tracks. I just find I prefer the balance on GH to RB. RB’s normal level is way too slow and easy, while the hard level is way too hard – I can’t hit that stupid orange note. I’m not at E3 this year and I find out The Who is going to play the Rock Band Party. The f’ing Who? Even though I get invited to this stuff, I still somehow miss out the really cool events. It’s The Who! Anywho (get it?) They are releasing a best of set this week. Check out this awesome track listing.
