From what I’ve read, the main difference is you collect Lego Studs (no that kind!) and these can be used to purchase various things, new costumes, clothes, Lego life insuance etc. According to Harmonix the reasoning behind Lego Rock Band is that it’s a more family friendly affair.

The game will be releasesed with some “Lego” songs apparently, I find that statement confusing in itself, but hey we’ll have to wait and see I suppose. I presume it’ll be songs and artists with bad Lego related puns.

Oh before I forget, the game doesn’t come with Lego intruments, boooooo!

It’s both disappointing and a bit exciting that it’s going to be a trilogy. I want to see what happens and what it’s all about, however waiting the good part of 5 years to see the end is a bit of a chore, but then that;’s the nature of these things.

I’d hoped that Assassins Creed 2would be set in a different time period, like perhaps between the original setting and the future that you’re actually in. However we’re back to the “good old times”. This first game play footage is genuinely exciting, as you’d expect it looks great (what doesn’t these days). Although I can’t help but think it look all too similar to the previous outing. I guess only time will tell, and to be honest I want to know what happens next in the overall story.

What do you think? Video is below the fold.

I’m always suspicious of any game/movie conversions in either direction. A Ghostbusters game may seem like it’s 20 odd years late, however the trailer released today actually looks pretty fucking awesome. They’ve really captured the characters and humour well (from the small amount you see). I’ll try not to get excited but June 2009 could be a very good month indeed.

See the video below:

First there were rumours of Guitar Hero World Tour including a Keyboard instrument, that was denied by Neversoft, now Neversoft project director Brian Bright has revealed that the new intrument is actually a feature of the game rather than a piece of hardware.

The feature will basically allow players to transfer MIDI data to the game using a MIDI sequencer, this basically means you could create the sound of any instrument you want. Appanrently this is exlusive to the PS3 version of the game though (fuck!), this is due to apparent “hardware issues”. The Xbox 360 version will be limited to a drum track.

Initially i thougth well that’s a bit shit, seems like a really good feature that us 360 owners are going to be missing out on. Then on second thoughts who the fuck owns a MIDI sequencer anyway, the type of people that do own hardware like that tend to be the ones who hate games liek Guitar Hero and Rock Band i.e. actual musicians.
