Rock Band Network Beta Open

January 24th, 2010

On January 20th, MTV Games has announced that the Rock Band Network Beta has now been opened. With millions of users playing the game and thousands that are addicted to it, it’ll definitely bring more people into buying the game. With the Rock Band Network opening, this’ll give artists an opportunity to release songs that they’ve created on the game itself. I can admit to wanting to have a network back when Guitar Hero 3 was released.  If a new songs has been approved, the artist can earn up to 30% of all profits made from sales of that song.  The store will be available soon and I’ll keep you guys updated.

2D Mario Sells More Than 3D Mario

January 24th, 2010

In almost two months, New Super Mario Bros. Wii has sold over 4.2 million units. That means that New Super Mario Bros. has sold more than Mario Galaxy, which critics deem as the best Wii game of all time. It’s still up to the gamer to decide which game they like more, but by looking at the sales, it’s obvious. The 2D version of Super Mario Bros. on the Wii has definitely become more popular then the 3D version. The sales are almost equivalent in the first 40 Days that New Super Mario Wii. was released.  I still prefer the 2D version considering I grew up playing the game on my Game Boy.

NBA Jam for Nintendo Wii ?

January 18th, 2010

Screenshot of the original NBA Jam game

As some of you may know,  Electronic Arts has stated that they’re going to be releasing NBA Jam, and it’s going to be exclusive to the Nintendo Wii. It’s been said that the game’s going to have 3D visual characters, and actual photos of the players on their heads. Not really sure how that’s going to look like since it’s going to have 2D heads and 3D bodies. This game might just be something that you go out and rent when you know you’re going to have a couple of friends over. Controls are compared to the ones of the hit game Punch-Out. No release date has been confirmed but there will be images released later in the year.
