Banzaii - The blog of online games and games of Jorge Mediavilla

Because we like chorras videos more than any article brainy and / or analysis of more than 5,000 words, here are 2 videos chorras, but groovy, those that do not work and perform just great. Sad life of the journalist when items good quality and interesting have a click rate of X and videos chorras, X raised to N. But that's life, needs to be addressed. Do not get me wrong, I love these videos me, but when the youtube video of the day replaces quality item, a kitten dies somewhere ...

That said, here are the promised videos. First, one of the last Call of Duty (to see if MS Word learns that is not Call of Duty than once ... the automatic replacement of the Word has priceless moments of epic fail) that mixes the TV program of the Sixth "Mythbusters" multiplayer mode for Modern Warfare 2. It is in English, but it's great and always answers questions you did so bajini:

- A package may crush?
- Bouncing the knives in the game?
- Can we save ourselves from a grenade attached to our riot shield?
- Can you kill a fire hydrant?

The second video is also caviar. If you thought your Christmas tree was second to none, get ready to enjoy a home decorated with motifs of Guitar Hero ... also playable!:

I receive a package surprised unexpected and very, very big. I quickly realize I've been blessed with a DJ Hero and thank the heavens in general and particularly Activision. It cost me a lot to discover better, more complete and more fun than Guitar Hero. So what causes it is not succeeding as did his predecessor of the guitar?

The answer is very simple, it is an inescapable problem, background, and responded with two questions: Who has not dreamed of being a guitarist of his favorite band? Who has ever dreamed of being a DJ? In any case I dreamed that pricked a song that I felt like I was when I wanted to, but not get at the controls.

His catalog of songs, very extensive, with 100 songs, is fine (Daft Punk, 50 Cent, Black Eyed Peas, Fedde Le Grand and Eminem), but neither can compete with the catalog of Guitar Hero, much more mass audience .

This kind of love when you play games. It has great graphics, the display does not, it is not easy to market it if it is not putting it in the hands of the players. Once in the hands you see that only 3 colored buttons instead of five and the first impression is that it will be easier, but no, turns out to have many more options. The combination of the three buttons plus the dish that turns yet another side switch is operated with the left hand button to unleash yet another euphoria are many more combinations to use later in the game.

Necessary-at least for me has been, do the tutorial and suffer a little when the thing is complicated. In any case it is a game with many possibilities, which generates very entertaining disco music. One of the best features is also playing both the guitar, a highly recommended experience.

I have no knowledge sufficient to say that is a realistic video game that emulates a DJ it really does, but I imagine it will not be far from reality. Like they do not so difficult some "scratches" like me ... The difficulty with the high price of the game, which is justified by the large peripheral may also have contributed to who has not started off right.

To summarize, it is an innovative game, different, with many more possibilities than Guitar Hero, which is hampered by some problems that you can not blame the developer or the dealer as I have explained. We have drums, bass, guitars, microphones ... our own DJ kit was a natural evolution, but will not attract as many fans as the excitement of playing Metallica or Nirvana on a guitar.

Yesterday was a good party for Sinstar Singstar Abba and classical in Madrid lounge Pasha. The first thing I noticed was that only those 2 games will be promoted and put aside others like Little Big Planet or Resistance 2. Just do more parties ...

The Sony party was held at the same site as the Xbox organized on the occasion of the New Xbox Experience and comparisons are inevitable. The Sony has been more intimate, much less people, journalists, people from thrid parties, a vip and counting. The Xbox was due to strain to acetate. The Xbox was much larger and complete with comprehensive review of its entire catalog now available and coming, presentation by a big fish and draw for anyone to try all the games. It was something bigger, while Sony has been more modest, with performance of Formula V and Abba Elite to promote the 2 Singstar concerned and little else.

The curiosity of the day was that on the way to the party got by Pedro de Valdivia, just ahead of the headquarters of Sony, and I could watch an hour before the start of the party to James Armstrong, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment for southern Europe, and Maria Jesus Lopez, Director of Business and a lovely woman, trying Singstar and hip moving as best they could. Their offices are those of mirror, which is not within the day but at night when no light outside but inside have them on, you see everything ... They should lower the blinds ...

The most interesting of the night was learning some details of Meristation. If your fans and those who work for free for Meri learn of some things is arming the other way. It was also great to talk again with the guys from "Insert Coin", the video game program is the best thing to do now in Spain.

I'm always complaining about the lack of support received by the state game and bring it into contrast with the great support given to music or movies. Well, the Minister of Education, Mercedes Cabrera, has been lying in state in the presentation of Wii Music. His presence alone deserves all the praise, but also his words about the game of Miyamoto deserve great honors. As I have bothered to write a chronicle in my other blog , the Yahoo! Games, I would urge to go there .

I say and I repeat: What has changed Electronic Arts (EA) scary! (Note that only philosophy I mean globally) I see gamesindustry.biz, who have decided to cancel the game because it did not reach Tiberium minimum level of quality ... The company that released "truños" as Harry Potter Quidditch, Catwoman and any other game whose name I do not remember now if not canceled games reach the lowest quality. Hold my crybaby excited about this display of power and commitment to quality of EA.

Riccitello has taken another air company Need for Speed ​​ProStreet (comparing game with a prostitute within the EA itself because it cost 70 euros per half hour of fun). This year FIFA 09 has improved exponentially, Rock Band until I cool the plastic that surrounds the game, NBA Live 09 is also good looking and dare to innovate with Mirror's Edge. Although this latest adventure may end up being a bit insulted by the opinions of reputable bloggers I read, is a commitment to innovation that I can not applaud.

Always elevate the person who is in favor of quality and innovation that has been very dark past. Even Darth Vader redeemed himself, right?

"Singstar" karaoke emitting the first to Charles Sobera stellar presentation based on the PlayStation video game, has passed away. As I read in PRNoticias , the First has decided to eliminate the gap after its last show got less than 9% share (share). Definitely be number one in the joke and be zapped day in, day out, in "I Know What You Did ..." does not ensure success and continuity.

I certainly formed no part of that 9% share that "enjoyed" with performances by singers "anonymous" in competitions that had the same fault himself Singstar: do not measure if you sing good or bad but if you raise or lower tone when required.

In any case, advertising on the release of "singstar" was really brutal. They bet big on this program, probably because Sony put a lot of money on the table. The end was not very happy, but Sony may be happy with the promotion that has made his particular karaoke, now is certainly better known.

What will Sobera? It seems that continues to soldier on with the space "Tell dancing", a kind of remake of the hit "Look Who's Dancing" in which ordinary people will give a surprise to his friends through fun choreography.

Although we want to show the contrary, the truth is that those who buy video games have the power, the fans decided to each of our purchases. I can assure you that you have very, very much in mind and we can do much damage. With good boycotts can do against injustices such as the European price of Rock Band.

The Harmonix, in the words of manager of product development Greg LoPiccolo, just to ensure that fans "can not conclude that Rock Band is worth the money, and that is your prerogative. But it will not make the game magically lower price because it ye ​​will. " Come on, that the fact that here the complete kit will cost 240 euros while in the U.S. only pay 107 to change will not change, or at least that you create. From Banzaii make a solemn appeal to not buy it: You'll see and then take him down. "Magically". Remember: We have the power.

Do not believe them to be able to lower the price? The community has achieved many things coming together and making requests online. Very recently EA itself has had to "back off" and change its plans to make us pay for extra weapons in Battlefield Bad Company. Want more proof? Users have united and are collecting signatures to film director Uwe Boll does not return to destroy our favorite games with painful movies. If you reach one million, has promised to withdraw.

Other times we have together to get reprints of games like ICO, the prequel to Shadow of the Colossus and have achieved many things. We can still get many more. Remember, do not be ripped off with Rock Band and, for that matter, do not be pig in a poke either with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. It's a demo with a few cars and few circuits. Do not be fooled by Meristation ; pay 40 euros for a demo is a joke by having very good graphics.

My 30th birthday was a few days ago, on 20 December, and I celebrated with a mini-party at my house. There was eager to start after the (big) company party on Thursday, but eventually I got involved in the lead blanket and organized. I tell you all this because I received a great gift, the Guitar Hero 3 Legends of Rock for Wii, with its wireless guitar and is the most fun I've played in a while. I'm delighted with my gift, is amazing, though she had great faith after trying the game on several supermarkets without any success.

I have not left the easy way, which basically allows you to play using only 3 of the 5 keys available on the mast. It was great to give the first concert, people will ask for a new song, make so much noise that the police arrive or measure yourself in a guitar duel.

The truth is that he could not try the game because, although I have a good relationship with Activision, not just send me the games and not get so worried about me when I have so many others waiting. I realize that sometimes I lose jewelry, but can not really play all, it is impossible.

I attached a photo so you can see how I maqueado guitar and you confirm that it is a great gift if you can afford the 90 eurazos holds for Wii.

It seems that EA is finally putting the batteries out when more and more original games and consoles from Nintendo, which are those that are eating up the market worldwide. Boogie is a new music game where you can create an avatar and take it to stardom using the new Wii controls and peripherals.

- Video of Boogie Electronic Arts:

Mike Griffith, CEO of Activision, has reviewed the results of the company and has confirmed the launch of Guitar Hero, the hit game that brings a guitar peripheral to play, Wii (so far so normal), but also speculation about a Nintendo DS version possible.

Should make a DS version only for the benefits? Certainly not a guitar can get the DS. It will be more of a game that used the touch screen. How do you think us playing a guitar on Nintendo DS? Will you lose the game its essence? I think so right now the lost. I do not see clear.
