I would have to Agree

"Variety is good" according to Hef and the makers of Guitar Hero 5. Probably the greatest rhythmic video game ever, Guitar Hero is unveiling a new version with tons of songs from more artists than every with their quote that "variety is good" because people want more to choose from in their song selection. Activision has given into the demand in Guitar Hero 5 by unleashing 85 songs from 83 artists. With different styles of rock music to choose from, they anticipate that more people will like this version even more than previous ones. Also when you purchase Guitar Hero 5 now, you can also get the Van Halen bonus. Tons of new features are being introduced with this new version as well including Rock with your Avatar if you have Wii or Xbox 360.

Guild Wars 2

After tons of expansions to the first Guild Wars, Arenanet has decided to create a new game altogether, instead of expanding even more. Guild Wars 2 looks to bring entirely new game play, and far better graphics than before. Character development is designed to be entirely different as well with this sequel, along with a new game engine and PvP system. Although I quit playing when expansions started rolling out after lvling to 20, which took no time at all, I have found myself quite interested in the new Guild Wars 2, particularly with the new character development. I am anxious to see if they will make leveling harder or at least go to a higher level and add more interesting class features and abilities than before. Look for many new classes and races to be available with the new Guild Wars as well. To break the monotony of expanding, I will be looking to purchase the new Guild Wars 2 when it reaches stores. In the meantime check out a preview of some of the new stuff that will appear in this hot new sequel.

Diablo III

For anyone that loved the classic Diablo games or anyone who likes a good RPG, Diablo III is sure to become a hot new game in your gaming arsenal. Blizzard is still not sure when this game will be due to be released, but the makings of it are beginning to unfold with new classes being released for the public to view. The Wizard, Barbarian, and some new classes including Witch Doctor and Monk. The new game style that is brought to the table in this game is enough to make Diablo fans excited but it is the new graphics in this game that is sure to attract a bigger crowd. If you remember from Diablo I or II the graphics weren't the best, at least compared to now. The graphics have been redone however, giving the game a better look, and making the gaming experience that much better. With the new classes being created, Blizzard is also in the stages of creating some cool new monsters to battle along with a good scenario to go right along with it. Although I doubt we'll see many of the monsters so as not to spoil the fun, there are a few previews of the different classes to check out while we wait for the game to be released. I realize there are a lot of videos here but believe me when I say they are worth checking out if you are a fan of this series.

Gamer

New movie for gamers coming out soon, creatively called Gamer. Similar to Death Race, Gamer is based on prisoners that are on death row who are used as part of a video game. Each death row inmate is literally played by a gamer. The incentive for the inmates to play is freedom, the same as in Death Race. Inmates must survive 30 battles with the gamer controlling them in order to be set free. Unlike a video game, there is no reset button, and definitely no respawn. Surviving 30 battles means freedom for the inmate, and of course I'm sure, as in Death Race, they don't actually intend to let a convict go free. People from all over the world watch the action as they pay to see the battles, which is the ultimate reason for making this event, to cash in. Gamer looks to bring a lot of intense action to the big screen which all gamers love to see and the fact that it is a gaming movie makes it that much better. Check out the trailer here and tell me if you agree.

Prototype

As a city drastically changes from the release of a deadly, mutating virus, a shape-shifter known as Alex Mercer, is changing right along with it, gaining powers as he consumes more and different types of the virus. Unfortunately he has no memory of what happened and must gain memory of the incident back through absorbing enemies and military units. This absorption power is also how he gains some intense shape-shifting powers and he grows stronger as he gains experience and absorbs the right people. Stealing powers and defeating enemies unlocks new abilities purchased through experience points or gained directly from the enemies. These powers gained allow Alex to shape his body into new weapons used to defeat enemies as well as learn how to take over enemy vehicles such as tanks and helicopters. The action in this game is always intense so there is never a dull moment from start to finish. Check out the top ten reasons that you need to get this game if you haven't already.

Amazing Flight Game

H.A.W.X. by far is the best flight simulator I have ever played. Staged in 2014, at a time when there is nothing but private armies, H.A.W.X. brings some intense fire fights in the skies where the only rule is to stay alive. Available for Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii, this game is by far some great fun at a very affordable prices, especially for any fans of flight simulator games. You know this game is going to be good as it is brought to you by the famous Tom Clancy, creator of Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, and Splinter Cell. The greatest thing about H.A.W.X. is its awesome online play where you can enter dogfights in team deathmatch with up to 8 people. Continuous play allows you to earn more cash to spend on new equipment and weapons. Check out the intense action here:
