I’m a saxophone player and only mildly interested in the whole Guitar Hero video game series. I do enjoy some of the band oriented games, but here’s my thing. The guys who put together the tracklist have a really odd view of what are good songs. I think the way to go is to have cheaper games (the graphics aren’t the real selling point anyway) and have more that are themed around particular bands. My first choice would be Me First and the Gimmee Gimmees.

For the football player who wants to control the latest version their favorite team, the latest iteration of Madden has hit stores. I’ve played various versions since the series started on the Super Nintendo in the early 1990s. I figure if I only play the game every few years, there are enough changes to evaluate and try.

Yes, there are benefits to people playing video games. The biggest benefit? A $5 billion boost to a struggling economy. That’s a 5 with nine zeros after it. These figures are coming for the Entertainment Software Association. How’s that for a few shiny pixels on a TV screen?

I mentioned earlier that I played “Red Dead Redemption.” I am an adult who does play video games as a hobby, and I have been looking for a game to give me the experience of living in the vast open Old West. This is the game that does it. Nobody does open world games better than Rockstar and this one is massive. There are a lot of things to do in addition to the story missions, plus I enjoy just getting on my horse and riding around to look at the scenery. It’s that close to the real thing.

6 Dutch gamers set a world record by playing Rockstar’s “Red Dead Redemption” for 50 hours straight. First off, I can’t imagine playing non-stop with no sleep for more than 24 hours, let alone 50 hours. Second, I have played “Red Dead” and find it to be tremendously exciting in the single player story mode. I hope that’s how they did it. If they did multiplayer, that would make for a long, long session.

Holy Cow, I had forgotten about these. The Star Wars franchise has led to more video games than any other franchise. I remember owning an Atari 2600 and wanting this first video game real bad. It was nothing more than the AT-AT battle on Hoth where you control a snowspeeder. As you can tell from the graphics it was very rudimentary, but I was 6 at the time and didn’t care.

Mad, but Merry Tea Party, or Sad, Sad Remake?
Alice in Wonderland is a video game based off the recently hit film by Tim Burton. The story takes us several years after Alice first went down the rabbit hole and found herself in Wonderland. Things have changed, and none for the better….
Following closely to the film, the game takes us through the new Wonderland where we must face off with the many minions of the Red Queen, the Jabberwocky, and the Red Queen herself. Throughout the game, we come across many familiar and new characters that will join in on the quest to save Wonderland or provide vital information and clues to keep the story flowing.
