Finally, something that may compare to this years Street Fighter IV release. Hori crafted a wonderful bundle for Tekken fans which includes: Tekken 6, Tekken Joystick, and an art book. The bundle will be on sale at a variety of retailers for $150.00.
Most likely this will be added to my collection for my PS3. I can’t wait!
Finally a close up shot of the upcoming Activision DJ Hero videogame! I’m really contemplating if I should invest in purchasing the game when available, but the DJ in me tells me this has my name written all over it! I can finally play something against my Guitar Hero pro friends and school them in what I can do.
With DJ Hero set to release very soon, I can’t help but notice all the buzz about this upcoming release. Could this really be the next big hit? In my opinion, of course!
When Guitar Hero came out a while ago, it was a for sure smash in the gaming world. It was almost life like. I mean, if you didn’t have any guitar skills, it didn’t matter because of the ease of the game. I’ve played Guitar Hero here and there, but never really got into it because I never really liked rock or punk music that much. I’ve always been more of a Blues, R&B, and Hip Hop kind of guy.
I’m sure there are many others that felt the way I did. We were simply waiting for a game that would play the music we liked, the music that we enjoyed. So I believe DJ Hero does just that for Hip Hop fans, unless DJ Hero plays nothing but music you get a raves From the reviews that the game has ties to Jay-Z and Eminem, I think nothing less than some good Hip Hop beat machine, turntabling fun. This will be a hit for Hip Hop heads, DJs, Turntablists, and even people who just love those damn video games!
I’ll even probably end up getting one a few months after it releases.
For those familiar with the Beat Mania arcade game at your local arcades, Activision finally put out a DJ game that allows us to play on our home console. DJ Hero will come with a bundle greatest hits from Jay Z and Eminem, limited edition controller, and a DJ stand. I love how the picture above also shows Japan powerhouse streetwear brand “A bathing ape.” Not too sure of pricing, but it cant be far from the Rock Band bundle pricing.
Skateboard legend Tony Hawk is set to release Tony Hawk Ride for Wii, Xbox360, and PS3 on October 13th. This skateboard video game comes with a board for you to pull ollies on. Since the gameplay will be sort of “lifelike,” the damage cost of the game is $119.99. I’m sure the gameplay is going to be great just like his other games, but damn…it’s still a recession. I guess some people just aren’t recession friendly!
Wal-Mart is currently testing out a new system where games can trade in their used games to an automated kiosk and get trade-in value towards their credit card. Currently only 77 stores allow this game buy back program. I have no idea how useful this may be, nor do I support anything via Wal-Mart. I do think it is funny that they are starting all these programs now.
To continue my infinite blog posts about Street Fighter, Capcom will be releasing Marvel VS. Capcom 2 on both PS3 and Xbox360 this summer. It will be priced for $15 on the PS3 and 1200 XBLA points on the 360. All I know is that I’m getting this game, but before that I need to get Street Fighter IV still!
This modder decided to turn his Xbox 360 into a wireless Xbox360 Joystick. He also added color buttons with a bubble top as well as LEDs when he touches the buttons. Now I don’t think this is a good look for Xbox. I mean people taking their Xboxes and turning them into joysticks. Usually people do that when they have junk in the house, they often try to recycle and use it for something else. So far I haven’t seen a Nintendo Wii turned into a Joystick, nor a PS3. Will anyone take the challenge?
On ebay, this custom transparent XBOX 360 is at $400.00. It has a laser etched Master Chief and a bunch of blue LED lights. I really don’t know how they got their XBOX 360 to be clear, but I do think it’s pretty bad ass!
Also just type in Transparent XBOX 360. For some reason ever since I started my blog I have refused to put up any live ebay auctions.
