I may continue this rant with my controller opinions (bottom line is PS2 SG > Rock Band Strat > PS3/360 Les Paul > 360 Explorer > PS2 Kramer) some day.

Also, CoD4 does beat Halo 3 (or 2 or 1) easily. ;)

- Blackened on expert drums is hard :( I can beat Tom Sawyer (soo much fun) and kinda pass Foreplay, but Blackened is tough (I usually fail at 80%, the last reiteration of the stupid section). I'm also working on that Who song that carries no reasonable resemblance of rhythm or a beat whatsoever.
- I was going to go into this huge rant about how the PS2 Kramer is the best guitar ever made, how could you have it last, etc.. until I GIS'd it and realized that the Kramer is the new one and the SG was the good one. I agree with your ordering, except I hate the RB Strat due to the not-clickyness, and I really like the 360 Xplorer for some reason. I would just switch those two. Also because I can't beat Jordan Expert on anything but the SG.
- CoD4 is the best FPS ever made. Ever.

*disclaimer - I don't actually own a 360, but I play Rock Band and CoD4 at a friend's house, and I own CoD4 for the PC (Xfire name is pvtgflo, add me y'all).

The non-clikyness of the Strat takes a little bit to get used to, but doesn't really change the play too much. It can actually be beneficial, as you don't have to strum as far for the strum to register (you can typically strum about halfway). Although for the really fast sections, it's pretty hard to do that, and you end up strumming the full length anyway (but the clicks really don't help that much in the really fast sections). The Strats also go back to the reliable "ball bearing in a tube" method of Star Power/Overdrive, instead of the accelerometers in the 360 and GH3 guitars. The tube method is much less twitchy, and you typically won't set it off by just adjusting yourself or sitting down/standing up (although some strats, not all, are a bit on the hard side to activate). The biggest downside to the strats are that they wear out rather quickly. While after a few months of high performance playing they were still functional, the first generation (at least, we'll see about newer ones) gave a much more lackluster performance, and were very difficult to play well. Luckily you can send them back under warranty and get free replacements! :D

Also, I don't own a 360 either. PS3 ftw

Any CS Source players out there? If so dont you think it's a little to easy to get head shots.

I just started to play Battlefield 2. I am mainly a Call of Duty 4 guy. I actually play on a professional team on Xbox Live. We are part of a bigger clan called Art of War. You can visit the site here --->http://www.clanaow.com/
Anyone who is good can sign up on the forums and ask to join.

CS: Source is awesome. I could never really get hooked because my time is limited between my robotics team, school, and my clan. ^_^

I can not wait for the Kingdom Hearts game for the PS3. If the video that been shown online is the actual game footage it will be pretty amazing.

Re: Video games
 
im guessing you are talking about the birth by sleep video, which is the secret ending for kingdom hearts: final mix+. it is actually part 2 of the trailer for the psp game titled birth by sleep. part 1 was the secret ending in kh2. birth by sleep will be using the same engine as final fantasy: crisis core. the ds game is called 358/2 days. hopefully they will come out sometime next year. there is also a mobile phone game called coded. i have no info on kh3. none has been released yet, except some possible clues from kh2: final mix+ in the secret areas of the game. keep up to date at http://www.kh2.co.uk/ and http://www.kingdomhearts3.net/

Ugh, you're one of those people who thinks the Wii is a gimmick and has a library consisting of completely kids' games, aren't you? Wrong. No More Heroes is easily one of the best games of this generation. Not to mention such blockbuster titles as Twilight Princess and SSBB. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Wii fanboy. I don't even own a Wii. It just gets kind of annoying when people complain about games like Wii Sports and don't factor in games like NMH.

But I have to agree. UT is the only FPS anyone ever needs.

Edit: KH 358/2 Days is gonna owwwwwwwwwwwwn so hard.

x.x

My XBOX360 just got the red rings of death... right after 2 matches of COD4 where my clan ([VOLS]) went 200-12 and 200-9 on Ground War Domination...

I'm sad, I'll be out of video games for a little while. Oh well, paintball season is coming up! Time to test out my new Proto Matrix Rail.
