1. XBOX 360 and ROCK BAND
2. Nintendo DS and the following games
   
   Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass, Chibi Robo: Park Patrol, Super Princess Peach, Brain Age II, Yoshi Island, Animal Crossin: Wild World, Mario Kart DS, Pokemon Pearl
3. Gaming Computer

sorry...i posted this on my blog and forgot to post it here

yes....i actually played Rock Band yesterday on my college campus of Georgia State. A group sponsored by MTV was there with a trailer with about four sets for demo group play. Also, they had a big stage for people to play and be recorded that would be sent to MTV.

Ya'll that game is amazing! The thing that makes it so great is of course its multi-player options. Even though it was only a demo, the music selections were great. Songs by Black Sabbath (Paradise), Jet (Do You Want to be my Girl), Nirvana (sorry I can't remember the name), Stone Temple Pilots (Vasoline), and sooo many more. About 20 songs in all. I got the chance to play guitar and sing. The guitars that come with the game are similar to the ones for guitar hero. However instead of colorful buttons that you can see, they only have colored indicators on the edge of the guitar that look like this:

__________________________________________(side of guitar)
------------- ---------------- ---------------- ------------- (colored lines)

There are 10 buttons in all. One set of five at the top most part for regular guitar play. And the other set closer to the bottom for bass play. You can play either top or bottom for bass guitar though.

The song feature is pretty much like any type of karaoke video game you can imagine. Stay on pitch and chime in at the right moment and you'll be fine.

The drums though I didn't get to play, I can tell are tricky. If you won't have rhythm, you may want to practice on your own.

The cost of this entire set is about $180. But one of the guys there I spoke with said that its pretty much sold out until February...

umm...i'm sorry, but who is REALLY going to go out and buy this movie?!?!?

especially when you can watch it for free on youtube...

i didn't post it...but its there

I'm still taking classes this Fall semester and should hopefully graduate this December. Thats fine and dandy but after i've paid my tuiton and fees off, I"ll still have extra money to do with what I will (even after bills, food, and transportation). Should I

A.) save my money for a rainy day ($1000)

B.) Buy a Nintendo DS

c.) Buy an XBOX or XBOX360

D.) Buy a Wii

E.) Buy a whole bunch of used Gamecube and PS2 Games

F.) Other (your suggestion)

Okay! So in my last entry I said I wasn't working for a game retailer anymore (super exciting). However, I DO have another job working for a clothing retail store. It offers better job security and in a few more months, health benefits. I'll be starting to take my two classes week after next so I can finally get my darn degree in Sociology and then maybe get a real job. On a plus side, I beat Grandia II (PS2) last night. It was the first RPG I ever played. I beat it my freshman year in college on my rommates dreamcast.

Other than that...I'm playing Pikmin 2. I'm taking a break from Legend of Zelda: WW only because I just don't feel like doing a dungeon right now. Its the one with Medli and I know its going to take a while, so i'm just gonna wait...Oh but I did find this on youtube. Is it wrong that I actually watched these and tried to practice?!?
