Gamespot Video Games

It's kind of tough to write about a game that hasn't been talked about much, but I'm willing to. Gamespot is a whole lot better than you might think, from they're smooth polygon graphics to its amazing soundtrack, to its GREAT two-player mode!

Keep in mind that the Gamespot review isn't about cheating or anything, and it doesn't give any hints on the one-player mode, either, because everybody knows that the one-player mode is for sissies. However, if you want help on conquering your "friend", then laughing at them, here's where to look. From descriptions of the vehicles, to the strategy bit, this is the ultimate handbook to Gamespot. Check it out and tell me if it helps!

Gamespot Overview

In Gamespot you're given twelve vehicles to defeat the enemy with, four different types: the armored support vehicle, the helicopter, the tank, and the humvee. The object of the game is to basically wreak havoc on the enemy forces until you've found their flag building (it's a special type of building). When you do, you can blow it up so that your jeep can get in later. Make sure that you've cleared a path without any guns firing on you. Send in your humvee and grab the flag by running into it, then dash back to your base. So, basically, Gamespot is Capture The Flag played with heavy-duty military equipment. However, you've also got to worry about your opponent, 'cause they're trying to do the same thing to you.

Gamespot Strategies

The "Waiting Game" is much better than the "Arcade" strategy, but then, I'm more of a wait-then-pummel-kinda guy when it comes to Gamespot myself. The "Waiting Game" is basically about slowly crushing your opponent by wasting all of their vehicles (except their humvees, maybe), and then, when they're weak or if they don't even have their vehicles anymore, you go in casually, knock out all of their defenses, send in the jeep, and steal the flag, taking as much time as you need. My "friend", Graedus, uses the "Arcade" method, and I beat him pretty much every time. Especially on that map, "The Nutcracker". Fun, fun, fun! For those of you who would like to do "Arcade", then go ahead. Both methods of attack are good. Guess it just depends on what kind of person you are.

You can find loads of free game downloads, reviews, demos, players and more at the premier Gamespot website. Gamespot covers SNES, Genesis, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, GBA, NES games and more.

Rock Band Video Game - Rock Band vs Guitar Hero - Who Wins?

As everyone knows by now, Rock Band Video Game is out and taking the nation by storm. At least for those who have been able to get their hands on the game thus far. Well, the question that everyone has been dying to have answered follows. Rock Band Video Game vs Guitar Hero ... who wins?

MTV's Boston-based Harmonix thrilled players of the music/rhythm genre when they first came out with their Guitar Hero game. It was so unlike anything that was then available. It was so popular that there have been two subsequent versions, with the latest version just released as Guitar Hero 3.

Well, Harmonix has now gone and outdone themselves with their latest creation, Rock Band the game. Developers wanted to not just come up with another game: they wanted to come up with a way for people to actually play music ... and boy, did they!

Guitar Hero originally came with only a guitar player option, but a slew of tracks to play. It has taken this third version for Guitar Hero developers to finally get around to offering a drum kit. Something that already comes standard with every Rock Band game. Rock Band does another "one upper" by not only including the guitar; it also comes with a microphone kit.

If you were to do a side by side comparison, there are special features each of these games offer. Guitar Hero may offer more songs to shred with the guitar right now (a bit over seventy titles at last count), but Rock Band will be adding new tracks every week. Rock Band also has a better quality soundtrack than Guitar Hero and even though Rock Band video game costs a bit more, it just blows the door off Guitar Hero in overall capabilities. Its multi-player feature looks to be a bit more challenging (and fun) than Guitar Hero's battle mode which pits a player against just the computer. There is also a Tour Mode for Rock Band being set up to run online that Guitar Hero just can't compare with.

There was an actual "Cyber Battle of the Bands" held between both these games at this year's EA gaming convention. The final conclusion, after a four song play-off was that Guitar Hero 3 was hard put just playing catch up to the newest contender on the video gaming block: Rock Band won, hands down!

The ultimate "Battle of the Bands" will actually be played out in the retail arena. With the upcoming holidays, it should be interesting to see if Rock Band continues to outdo Guitar Hero.

How To Fix Your Playstation 2 Yourself Without Having To Shell Out A Lot Money - Easy To Use Guide

How to Fix your broken Sony Playstation 2/PS2 Game System

So do you fit into this catergory? You go and buy a PS2/Playstation 2 because its an awesome system and it play some cool games, such as Guitar Hero....etc. After spending about $130 you figure that a system like this isn't going to tear up considering Sony made it and the price you paid. Well, after about a month or two of playing it you can notice some glitches while you are playing games and all of the sudden it quits working.

So here are your options.....1) Go and get a new for $130 (if you're rich I suppose this is a good option) 2) Call Playstation support and stay on the phone for 2 hours talking to someone you can barely understand (this is good for someone who has time and patience) 3) Find a place that repairs PS2 and pay a lot of money getting it repaired and lose valuable playing time (again you need to be rich, have lots of time, and patience)

So if you are like every other human being on this earth.....your money is tight, your time is limited, and your patience are thin. This scenario I have just described is very similar to what happend to me and my PS2. I had these three options and all of them stunk! So one day while I was surfing ebay for a new/used PS2 (hoping I would get a good deal) I came across this auction. This auction was selling a guide on how to fix your PS2 guide yourself. At first, I was very skeptical because I figured that in order to fix a complicated machine like that you had to be some computer wiz. So I pondered on the auction and decided what the heck it is only $2.99, the guy has great feedback,and you get it instantly through instant download (technology is great). So I purchased it and figured well if it works I saved a lot of money and time.

And guess what... it did work! I guess you already figured that out though because I wouldn't be on here writing an article if it didn't. Seriously, though if your PS2 is not working don't waste money and time buying a new one or getting it repaired when you can do it yourself.
