its been a while...

mainly because i've had a lot to say but not sure in what way is best. so i'm gonna leave it all.

rock band 2.

theres 3 words for you there to think about. especially if you're a gaming fan. 3 beautiful words.

i bought this friday when it was released here in the uk, and i think i must have totalled ten hours. its the first time in a long while, since guitar hero 1 probably that a game has been addictive to me. i am loving it. great selection of songs, even the songs i'm not into i dont mind playing because they're nice to actually play. fucking brill it be. which means gears 2, saints row 2, guitar hero world tour, and tiger woods 09 has been staying on the shelf. all good games but... rock band is just too good. playing mystery set lists is good, you never what whats coming, theres no uniform, and they add small stipulations such as...

rich kids. you're playing this gig for rich kids and while you wont gain as many fans, you'll earn triple the cash.
charity gig. you wont earn anything but get triple the fans.

and so on. it may seem simple but it adds up to a great game. best i've played for a few years in all honest truth.
