Guitar Hero III song updates - Image 1 


A lot of people have been raving about the tracklist of RedOctane's Guitar Hero III. IGN recently posted two new songs that will be in the game as well - Evenflow by Pearl Jam and Lay Down: Priestess. So far, this is shaping up to be one of the best games in the Guitar Heroes franchise yet.

Every Guitar Hero is essentially a rhythm game where players must press buttons and strum according to the onscreen cues. Of course, the highlight of pretty every Guitar Hero are the songs that are included in the game.

Most of the songs added were actually covers of the said songs and not performed by the artists themselves. Still, there will be master tracks as they are called which will be songs performed by the actual artists behind it.

This game is slated to be released this November for the Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and the Playstation 2. Be sure to keep checking back here for the latest updates on Guitar Hero III.

» Disappointed

Anyone else really disappointed by the revealed tracklist so far. Between the 80's PS2 game and GH3, there is a total of 1 song so far that I like: Holy Diver by Dio. And even that I will become bored of after playing it once or twice.

» X360 Vs. PS3 [Head to Head Deathmatch]

There’re so many stup+d PS3 fanboys right now who bark that PS3 is superior to X360 console; that’s the reason why I wrote this informal essay.



Let’s compare the most sold X360 game and the most sold PS3 game (HEAD TO HEAD DEATHMATCH); then talk about which console is superior to another at the end. Each category is worth 100 points unless mentioned. If it’s drawn, both get half points.



I spent much time to read about 10 different reviews on both games. Most sentences below are NOT my opinions (remember this). Most sentences below are from the reviews I read online.



[Epic’s Gears of War Vs. Insomniac’s Resistance: Fall of Man]



- Gameplay (300 pts): Resistance is a generic and mindless run & gunner. Epic adopted and improved Resident Evil 4’s point of view; then GoW’s over-the-shoulder revolutionized the gaming industry. Now, Sony’s best future games Uncharted Drake’s Fortune and Ratchet and Clank Future (when using weapons) both totally copied GoW’s point of view. Winner: GoW



- Graphics (300): GoW wins by a land-slide. No need to discuss more. Winner: GoW



- Awards: Many gamers bought GoW because it won so many awards. Winner: GoW



- Main character (200): Epic did a very good job on this. Marcus Fenix is as memorable as Halo’s Master Chief. Resistance’s Nathan is simply too boring to control. Winner: GoW



- Average review score: GoW got 94 from 172 different game related publications; Resistance got 89 from 164 publications; many gamers bought GoW because it got extremely high review scores.

Winner: GoW



- Level of Appealing (Fun Factor) (200): Resistance is all about run and gun like Halo 3 or Unreal Tournament 3. GoW has deep tactical play. Winner: GoW



- Online Modes (Multiplayer) (300): Resistance offers much more game types, but all of them are mindless run and gunner. GoW should have supported at least 8 versus 8 multiplay (4 Vs. 4 is just sub-standard). Winner: Drawn



- Single-player (SP): Resistance’s developers spent so much time, budget, and effort on this (Resistance’s SP is much longer); the thing is that Resistance’s SP is plainly boring and not even fun. Winner: GoW



- Weapons (200): Resistance has technically extremely advanced weapons, but these weapons are not balanced for multiplay. GoW has much less number of weapons; the thing is that lancer (the gun with chainsaw) alone is better (the powerful feeling; sound, lighting, and decal effects) than all weapons in Resistance combined. Torque bow and boomshot are extremely well made, too. Winner: GoW



- Music & Sound Effects (300): Resistance’s sound is on average; GoW’s sound is superb (especially guns and explosion sounds are mind-blowing). Winner: GoW



- Longevity (Replay Value) (300): Resistance’s run and gun gets old extremely quickly. Winner: GoW



- Technical Advancement (200): Resistance’s extremely huge maps + 42-player online + Resistance’s bull’s eye and sapper guns. Winner: Resistance



- General Concept & Originality: Resistance is a copycat of Half Life, Call of Duty, and Unreal Tourney. Winner: GoW



- Character Animation: Both games offer silky smooth movement of units. Winner: Drawn



- (NPC’s) A.I.: GoW’s AI is better made. Epic did a very good job here. If you kill one enemy in GoW, you feel satisfied and rewarded; if you kill one (or ten) enemy in Resistance, you feel bored and lame (LOL). Winner: GoW



- Atmosphere (Presentation) (200): GoW’s sci-fi movie like mood is all over the places. Winner: GoW



- Interface (attention to detail, how polished is the final game?): Winner: Drawn



- Overall Impressiveness (300): In general, GoW even deeply impresses diehard Sony fanboys. Winner: GoW



Finally, GoW won by f+cking huge margin.

- Resistance’s total score: 450 points

- GoW’s total score: 3,050 points

I said at the start that we need to talk about which console is superior to another at the end. Now, let’s talk about that. Which console is superior? If you’re still trying to defend your pathetic PS3 console then you must be illiterate and blind, period.
