And got Rock Band 2 and NHL '09 in return! Wow there are so many new games coming out the next few months we have interest in. I'm sure once the finished products are out quite a few will drop out of the running of chance of getting bought by us.

Rock Band 2 is well?.... nearly what Rock Band was. With improvements that people were wanting for the first game now appearing in the second game. One of which was being promised in a patch for game one. I once heard that Rock Band was not going to come out with a new base game for awhile, instead just letting the game grow through DLC. Ha ha! Not with so many small things being wanted by the RB community. Mainly people wanting online world tour (why the heck was this not put in the first game???) Anyway our main reason for getting RB 2 was for the small improvements, we aren't real thrilled with the playlist though. WAYYYY too many metal songs in the two hardest categories. In fact most of them are metal songs in the last set. Oh well at least we can have DLC and the original songs in the new game. Still trying to find out when/how we can get the original game songs into RB 2, our DLC is already in the hopper.

NHL '09, what can I say we are suckers for hockey. We bought NHL '09 even though we hardly touched '08 after we got it, due to the terrible time of actually scoring a goal. This version does seem to be better so far. And the Be a Pro feature is pretty fun so far too. If you leave out the part of difficult to score the game is great. The graphics and overall gameplay is very good, a great improvement since we had become so skeptical of most sports games 5-6 years ago.
I'll have to play it quite a bit more for a final judgement though. I'm still getting used to the new style of controls for the game.
