CCR Rock Band DLC overview
I normally wouldn’t take the time to go over a DLC purchase, but I think this warrants it. I was ecstatic last month when my favorite wallet suck, Rock Band, announced a whopping 12 pack of Creedence Clearwater Revival songs. The best part is, they are all master recordings. Real studio recordings, not live, or as made famous by. The announcement was bittersweet though. I couldn’t wait to listen to the sound quality of the tracks, which usually sky rockets when Harmonix applies their magical touch, but I had to wait to purchase because I was in the middle of a HD swap on my PS3. I figured I would purchase them when I had re-download my 600 other RB songs for the 5th time. Anyone want to take a guess how long 37 gigs takes to download? Times that by five, now that is gamer loyalty. I got the HD swapped and I couldn’t wait to lay my money down.

Is Anyone Else Excited for Motion Controls
Remember back in the day, running on that NES pad that looked like a twister mat. Two player games usually turned into a shoving match. They tell us that motion controls are the future of gaming, and I couldn’t be happier. In 2003 Sony first attempted their hand with motion controls with the EyeToy. It is essentially a web cam, built on the Playstation 2 interface. When you could get the lighting right it worked beautifully, and has sold over 10 million units. The EyeToy didn’t see a lot of full title support, but was used by a lot of titles to help augment the experience. The titles were more mini game collections, which had you kicking ninjas,and swatting at flies. There was an exercise title from Nike, and a dance title as well. The games were not very deep, and you looked like you were having a seizure when you played them, but my family had loads of fun. Then motion became mainstream.
