Over the weekend, I broke down and bought Guitar Hero 3. Three things pushed me over the edge. The first was that GameStop had the controller/game package discounted $20.00. The second was the Def Deppard music pack that came out a couple of weeks ago. The third is that you can use the GH3 controller on the Rock Band game. The kids and I had fun playing Tug of War on Rock Band.
I'm about halfway through the easy level and have found that it is a little more 'cartoony' than Rock Band. There is a little crossover between GH3 and Rock Band, as they share a few songs. My initial feeling is that there isn't the 'ommmph' in the song selection of GH3 like there was in GH2. Hopefully that will change with the GH3: Aerosmith expansion coming out in June.
If you have played Fallout 1 or 2 then you're most likely drooling over all of the Fallout 3 screenshots that have been coming out (of the Vault) from the official site. Having played the first two games in the series, I too am just blown away by the shots that have been released. But before there was a Fallout 1 or Fallout 2, there was Wasteland. This was one of my favorite games of my Commodore era. It was a post-apocalyptic RPG staring you and your merry band of misfits. A few years ago, I happened across an Interplay collection called, "The Ultimate RPG Archives". I bought the collection just so I could have Wasteland for my PC. Now, I'm thinking about unboxing Fallout 1 & 2 for a trip down memory lane before number three comes out this fall.
