Wow. I've been slowly but surely getting through every review I had planned. That's basically every game I've ever played, except Pokemon games (many of which I got as a kid for N64, and sucked in retrospect, and others are handheld versions I just haven't felt like reviewing). I may also review Pac-Man, Galaga, and Tetris, all of which I have in some form as well, since they're all awesome and insanely addictive.

The only two I had planned left of the ones I currently have are The World Ends With You and Final Fantasy IV. TWEWY was awesome, although I haven't beaten the secret missions after the main game. I'm nearing the end of FFIV, and it's awesome too. I'm predicting TWEWY wins Game of the Yea 2008 for DS, because it uses the touch screen more, is very original, and isn't a port. Although FFIV has more voice acting and the best cutscene ever in the opening... Close call. But I'll get TWEWY's review down first.

In other news, I beat veteran mode on Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, and Subspace Emissary on normal in Brawl. Medal of Honor was much more fun on veteran than green, and I'm going to eventually play hero mode, but it sounds pretty daunting, since the end of veteran was pretty tough. Subspace Emissary was fun, and definitely the best single player Smash has ever had, by a mile. Great cutscenes, great story, but it felt pretty repetitive, and not in a good way like multiplayer is, plus a bit tedious. Nevertheless, I stand by Brawl's 9.5. Also, I've beaten Super Mario Galaxy with Luigi, (playing that again someday for sure), every song on expert in Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, and all but five, counting the battle with the Devil, of the expert songs in Legends of Rock. Nearly beaten No More Heroes in the hardest difficulty too. I'm at Henry, who's insanely hard! And I've borrowed Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance from a friend, it's so cool! It deserved much more than an 8.6.

I'm excited for the holidays! I'm applying at Toys R Us to help them sell the three bajillion Guitar Heroes and Rock Bands necessary this season (plus the lame little kid stuff)! There are a lot of games I want, and in future, and I want to be able to pay for them with my own money, for the most part. Assuming I don't get a PS3 (in which case this list would be at least twice the size), these are what I want to get (or consider getting) and review, if not necessarily this year:

Mario Kart Wii
The House of the Dead: Overkill
Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop
Tomb Raider: Underworld
The Conduit
MadWorld
Shaun White Snowboarding
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle
Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse
Guitar Hero: World Tour
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Wii Sports Resort
Sonic Unleashed
Sonic and the Black Knight
Final Fantasy V, VI and Resident Evil 5 (you know they're coming)
Please God Final Fantasy VII
Disaster: Day of Crisis
Project HAMMER (are this and Disaster coming out? Ever?)
Future Marios, Zeldas and Pikmin

At least, those are the ones I'm interested in, as said. I cut out some I'm not as excited for (Chrono Trigger, because it's 2-D... I might change my mind, we'll see). I'm going to get all the HP games because I got the first five, I might as well finish up. And they're getting better ideas, and with some better execution Order of the Phoenix would've been amazing. No more Rock Band because my family likes Guitar Hero guitars better, and World Tour apparently rocks (sounds like it)! Well idk, maybe I'll skive off HP...

With this job, I'll definitely get all of those that come out prior to Christmas, and probably a PS3. I'll be selling Rock Band, getting a wireless router (finally! Not this stupid Nintendo Wi-Fi connector...) and someday, lots and lots of Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, God of War, Resistance, Call of Duty, BioShock, Fallout, Dead Space, Killzone, Resident Evil, possibly 360 stuff like Halo, Mass Effect, Gears of War... you get the idea. Watch out for those reviews, and have fun during the holidays!

Ok, sorry everyone, but I'm slowly but surely resigning from every union I'm in. No offense, it's just that I never remember to post and I might as well not be a member anyway. And I'll decline inviations. I'll be on forums though, and catch up on blog posts. I've gotten some reviews down recently, if you're interested, including the amazing No More Heroes and Super Smash Bros. Brawl! Later!

Oh man. I am in a serious hole here. Idk what I'm gonna do.

I currently own Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, and Rock Band for Wii. My family all likes the Guitar Hero guitars better, but then, we already have a guitar, drums and a mic for Rock Band, since they came along with the game. We do have two Guitar Hero guitars btw, we got one with each game.

And now Guitar Hero: World Tour is coming out in October, and for Wii we have Rock Band 2. Both are confirmed to have downloadable content, multiplayer online, all that good stuff. World Tour will have Mii Freestyle and more importantly, create a song though. No word on which will have more graphical power between the Wii versions.

So the question is: which will come out on top? It seems from this side of the releases that Guitar Hero does better work on the Wii than Rock Band. Guitar Hero also has create a character already guaranteed, and you can use the usual Guitar Hero characters (create a character doesn't mean with the Miis- that's a separate mode all its own). Rock Band 1 didn't have any characters, or creation either. But Rock Band 2 might have the full prowess that was put into the 360 and PS3 versions of the Rock Band games. Both have damn good track lists.

So it seems I should pick one direction or the other, not both. We're starting to waste money if we invest in both. With both Guitar Hero games that I currently have, I have 110 songs, give or take. With Rock Band, I have 60ish, and haven't bought the track pack for the other 20.

Seems to me I should stick with Guitar Hero. Again, my family likes the guitars better, we can already tell that there's lots of effort involved with the Wii exclusives, and I have two of the instruments.

Rock Band isn't guaranteed create a character and we're not as used to the guitars, but I have three of the instruments.

And here's the other issue: the instruments aren't compatible. The Wii Guitar Hero games all use a Wiimote to work alongside the instrument, including the drums, which have a spot to plug it into above the drum pads. Rock Band doesn't. Instead, it uses just one for the mic.

I only have two Wiimotes, so I'd have to buy two more and get drums and the mic for Guitar Hero. With Rock Band I just need one guitar.

So what do I do? I'm thinking I'm gonna go with Guitar Hero because they even put modes in exclusive to Wii, and seem to care about the system more- probably because GHIII sold a zillion units on Wii. But then it's a larger investment- two instruments and two Wiimotes that I'm not sure my parents would enjoy buying. On the other hand, they bought more than half of Rock Band, and they bought both Guitar Heroes all on their own And then, I should probably get two more Wiimotes anyway...

I think I'll sell the games from whichever franchise I ditch. Meaning selling both Guitar Heroes or Rock Band on ebay, where they sell for twice what I bought them for lol. Sound off if you have a suggestion- Guitar Hero or Rock Band, Wii versions. Thanks!
