Games of Summer 2008 - Guitar Hero

Rock it in your pocket with the first portable version of the groundbreaking music game. Featuring an innovative Guitar Grip attachment and all the gameplay from its console cousins, On Tour delivers a very big sound in a very small package.

Why It's Hot: What's not to like? It's Guitar Hero on the go! The Guitar Grip puts your fingers right on the frets, while the built-in guitar pick stylus lets you strum the touch screen like a real guitar. Most of the game's 25 licensed songs are master tracks, not covers -- and best of all, the thing works.

Why It's Not: What's not to like? Uh, a few things, if you believe the mixed reviews. Some critics feel the Guitar Grip isn't particularly comfy, while other have complained about the sound quality and how the relatively short set list skews too heavily towards popular music rather than rock classics. No one said rock 'n roll was easy.

Platform: DS
Genre: Music Rhythm
Release Date: June 22

John Mayer Slams Guitar Hero

John Mayer has slammed the Guitar Hero videogame phenomenon - claiming it makes it too easy for untalented people to enjoy the instrument.

The singer claims no game could ever replicate the joy he gets from playing the guitar for real, and urges fans to grab a real axe and learn to play for real.

Mayer tells RollingStone.com, "Guitar Hero was devised to bring the guitar-playing experience to the masses without them having to put anything into it. And having done both, there's nothing like really playing guitar. I mean, what would you rather drive, a Ferrari or one of those amusement-park cars on a track?"

'Boomblox' And 'Echochrome' Offer Pure Fun

For hardcore gamers, controlling a video-game character is second nature. You use one joystick to run, use another stick to look around, press the right trigger to shoot and use various buttons to open doors, take cover or talk to other characters.

It all seems so obvious that I'm surprised when someone else of my generation doesn't get it. My brother-in-law, for example, is an experienced hunter and golfer - but he has trouble firing a gun or swinging a club in virtual reality. Perhaps game controls have just gotten too complicated.

A game like ''Grand Theft Auto IV'' is designed for die-hards who can drive, shoot and talk on a cell phone (virtually, that is) simultaneously. After a few hours, though, you long for something simpler, where you're only doing one thing at a time. Such simple pleasures should be part of any gamer's diet, especially if you want to play with friends who aren't as hardcore.

-''Boom Blox'' (Electronic Arts, for the Wii, $39.99): This is the first fruit of a much ballyhooed collaboration between EA and Steven Spielberg, but if you're expecting an Indiana Jones-style spectacle, you'll be disappointed. On the other hand, if you're seeking a fun-for-the-whole-family experience, ''Boom Blox'' delivers.

The core gameplay involves one action: throwing a ball at a pile of blocks. Some blocks disappear when you hit them; other cause explosions or fireworks. Most of the time the object is to knock over the entire structure, but you may be limited to a certain number of balls or score more points for hitting particular blocks. There's also a Jenga-like game in which you want to remove as many blocks as possible before the tower topples.

For such a simple concept, ''Boom Blox'' has a lot of variety, with dozens of single-player puzzles and a good assortment of lively multiplayer modes. The graphics are sharp and colorful, and the physics - the way the blocks tumble and fall - seem dead-on. It's one of the Wii's best party games, accessible enough for just about anyone. Three-and-a-half stars out of four.

-''Echochrome'' (Sony, for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, $9.99): In this age of ever more realistic computer graphics, you wouldn't expect to see a game made up entirely of black-and-white line drawings. But beneath the bare-bones appearance of ''Echochrome'' lies a game that's unusually challenging and sophisticated.

Each level is a three-dimensional maze, with the ideal path typically blocked by bottomless pits or impassable gaps. The trick is that you have to rotate the maze, changing your perspective so that disconnected paths connect and obstacles are hidden. For example, if you move a post in front of a hole, the hole essentially ceases to exist, so your character can slide right across it.

It's quite trippy, reminiscent of the M.C. Escher posters decorating many a dorm room. (The designers have acknowledged the debt to Escher.) The elegant graphics combine with a mellow violin soundtrack to create a weirdly soothing experience, even though some of the mazes are quite difficult. ''Echochrome'' demands a kind of thinking that video games usually don't require, and it's the most distinctive puzzle game in years. Three-and-a-half stars.

-''Lost Cities'' (Sierra, for the Xbox 360, $10): Here's a fast-moving card game that should appeal to Xbox Live players who have grown weary of ''Uno.'' The 60-card deck has five colors, each with three ''investment'' cards and the numbers 2-10. The object is to build ''expeditions,'' starting with investments and working up through higher numbers. Sounds simple, right?

The twist is that if you start an expedition but don't make much progress, you lose points. Ideally, then, you want at least four cards of the same color before embarking, but of course that isn't always possible. Designed by German board-game legend Reiner Knizia, ''Lost Cities'' offers a balanced mix of luck and strategy.

A game only takes about five minutes, which feels a little unsatisfying. And it hasn't yet attracted a big crowd of Xbox Live fans, so it can be difficult to find online competition. ''Lost Cities'' doesn't appear to have the staying power of last year's ''Catan,'' another electronic version of a German game, but it's a decent diversion if you only have a little bit of time to spare. Two-and-a-half stars.

Underwater Musical Game Educates Youngsters

Every now and then, it's really helpful to get some outside guidance regarding what you, as a human being, should do in order to keep
this old planet alive. Every now and then, a game is released to teach children these things - which is even better, because they are the future and they will probably have the thumbs up or down regarding Earth's future. Anyway... Portugal-based Gameinvest has announced that Aquatic Tales is in the works and promised it would teach the young (as well as the not-so-young if they decide to play the game) a few things about conserving our oceans.

Turning your screen into a living aquarium, Aquatic Tales will immerse players in an adventure where they will have to guide and protect a family of fish. Using intuitive controls (the stylus for the DS version, the Wiimote for the Wii and the good old mouse for the PC version), players will find out that everything can be nice and funny in the oceans if we care. The game also promises to promote the importance of family and teamwork, which makes it even a better option for the youngsters who keep playing, even though they shouldn't Halos and CODs and so on...

"Saving the environment is an important issue that we wanted to bring to audiences through a fun and engaging game," said Gameinvest founder and CEO Paulo Gomes. "Aquatic Tales includes important messages about preserving our oceans within an immersive and entertaining gaming experience."

The game will be released just in time to be purchased and offered as a holiday gift and it will be available on Nintendo DS and Wii consoles, as well as PC systems. And, even though I totally agree that even more educative games should exist and kids should learn that conserving and caring for our planet is something that really worth doing, I don't like one thing: the profit-chase. Release the game now, Mr. Developer, not before the holidays, when more people buy it just because they have to!

PlayStation 3 Outselling the Xbox 360 in Australia

Sony is really pushing hard for numbers to prove that the PlayStation 3 is just as competitive as the Xbox 360 from Microsoft when it comes to gaming consoles sales. Recently, the head of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, David Reeves, claimed that the absolute sales of the PlayStation 3 were better than those of the Xbox 360 on the European market, and now it seems
that good news on the sales issue is coming from Australia as well.

Sony Managing Director Michael Ephraim has talked to PALGN about the situation Down Under and he reckons that, even though Microsoft still has the lead in units sold, overall Sony can still catch up and overtake in the console race. Even if the Xbox 360 has achieved very good market penetration in English speaking territories in general, including North America and the United Kingdom, the Australian market is much more balanced. Ephraim thinks that at some point, "somewhere around the end of the year, if not sooner," the PlayStation 3 has a shot at overtaking the Microsoft made console.

Being able to claim victory over an entire continent would translate into a boost for Sony, even if we are talking about a rather small market, when compared to Europe, Japan or the United States. However, the numbers advanced by the Sony man are in-house estimates of sales, so there might be a bit of a difference between these and the numbers reported by some market watching analysts.

Ephraim said: "I can tell you in the first quarter of 2008 we have outsold Xbox 360 by around 45%. That is not including the Bravia deal, which moved through around 30,000 units, so if you add the Bravia deal to our global sales we have now, in the first quarter of 2008 we have outsold the Xbox 360 by two to one." Take that with a pinch of salt, if you will, but Australia seems like a good battleground for Sony, one where it is winning the "console war".

Top 5 games that get you into character

Tired of being an accountant, a middle manager -- or even a journalist, for that matter? How about trying on the life of an elf or a superhero or perhaps try being a better, more exciting version of yourself?

Developers understand just how much gamers want to feel drawn into the virtual world. So many games offer the player the opportunity to shape the precise appearance and attributes of the character they control.

With that in mind, here are some of the games that do the best job helping us get into character.


'City of Heroes'

Just about everyone has fantasized about being a superhero at one time or another. But "City of Heroes" actually allows you to be one. Well, sort of.

In this massively multiplayer online role-playing game, you get to create a unique superhero from head to spandexed toe. The character creation system here not only allows you to customize the details of your hero's face and body, but you also get to tailor the costume and super abilities to your dream specifications.

Once you've created the hero you've always wanted to be, it's off to save the citizens of Paragon City from the forces of evil.


Mii Channel

One of the coolest things about Nintendo's new Wii console is the Mii Channel.

Here, you get to create a caricature of yourself – called a Mii – that then appears in games like "Wii Sports" and "Wii Play." With their big heads and small bodies, Miis are more cartoony than they are realistic... but that's half the fun.

Though creating your Mii is a simple process, it's easy to spend hours building your digital persona as you try to make your Mii look like you...or perhaps not anything like you at all.


'Saints Row'

So you want to live the gangster lifestyle but aren't too excited about ending up dead? In "Saints Row" you can let your inner gang-banger run free without worrying about all that nasty business of dying in a hail of bullets.

This Xbox 360 game (coming to the PS3 this year) lets you play the role of an up-and-coming hoodlum jumped into a gang known as the 3rd Street Saints. But before you start gunning for enemy crews, you must first customize the physical features of your character.

Here, you can tailor your skin color, hair style, the shape of your nose, chin and eyes and the look of your body. And since this game takes full advantage of the next-gen console power, the degree to which you can shape your character's appearance is uncanny.


'Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion'

It's easy to get lost in this epic fantasy role-playing. But first, you have to create yourself. Would you like to be a human, an elf or perhaps a cat-like Khajiit? Will you be a warrior, a monk or maybe a thief?

There are plenty of decisions to make as you dive into "Oblivion's" deep character customization system. And once you've found your new skin, you'll set out to find the missing heir to the throne and close the gates of hell.

"Oblivion" is available for the PC, Xbox 360 and, as of March 19th, for the PS3.


'World of Warcraft'

Talk about losing yourself in an alternate universe. There's a reason this game is nicknamed "World of Warcrack."

And this massively multiplayer PC game first gets its hooks in you with its robust character-creation system. Here there are ten races to choose from (orcs, elves, dwarves, gnomes, etc.), a whole variety of classes (paladin, priest, shaman, warlock) and plenty of professions to take on (alchemy, blacksmithing, jewelmaking).

In "World of Warcraft," you can be whoever and whatever you please (yes, even a huge, hairy bull-beast called a Tauren). And once you start building an avatar and a life for yourself in "World of Warcraft," you may find it difficult to make time for your real life.

Microsoft has "no plans" for Xbox 360 Blu-ray drive

Company says it will not be using Sony technology in its "game console."

"As we have stated, we have no plans to introduce a Blu-ray drive for Xbox 360," said a Microsoft official in an email to GamePro on Monday. "Games are what drive consumers to purchase game consoles, and we remain focused on providing the largest library of blockbuster games available."

The statement comes amid persistent reports that Microsoft will release a Blu-ray drive for Xbox 360 given the discontinuation of the console's now defunct HD DVD drive.

On Friday, the Economic Daily News (via Digitimes) reported that Pegatron Technology has secured an order from Microsoft to manufacture Xbox 360 models with internal Blu-ray drives for release this fall.

Rock Band Gets New Tracks for the Wii and PS2

Rock Band and Guitar Hero, the two main competitors in the world of music simulation, have created a new market in the form of downloadable songs, which you can get online and then use in the game.

It is estimated that the Rock Band DLC content has generated over 10 million song sales since the game was released in November last year, which is a pretty big number.

The issue with this approach of downloadable content in the form of songs is that there are at least two platforms on which MTV and Harmonix want to market the game that do not allow support for the kind of DLC that the game offers. The PlayStation 2 and the Nintendo Wii versions of Rock Band are in danger of being seen as poorer cousins of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game.

But Harmonix and MTV have come up with a solution in the creation of the Rock Band Track Pack Volume 1, a retail disk that will include 20 songs that up until now were only available in the form of DLC.

The pack is going to be released on July 15 with a retail price of 29.99 dollars. The offer is pretty attractive as the individual songs which feature the 20 song retail package have a price of around 1.99 dollars when they are downloaded on the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3 versions. So there's a clear monetary incentive for gamers to go out and get the Rock Band Track Pack Volume 1.

The list of songs featured includes Blink 182 with All the Small Things, Boston playing More Than a Feeling or Queens of the Stone Age with their song Little Sister. All in all, the players get 20 new tracks on which to test their skills that they can get no other way.

Prior to the release of the Rock Band Track Pack Volume 1, June 22 will see the launch of the Wii version of Rock Band, which will include bonus tracks like Oasis' Don't Look Back in Anger, Police's Roxanne and Rockaway Beach from The Ramones.
