Guitar Hero: World Tour Peripheral Problems

Posted in Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 with tags , , , , , , on October 28, 2008 by Boyce

So you still can’t decide between Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour? This could probably help you.

Some players have actually found great faults in their plastic instruments and have decided to start a petition to make Red Octane take back returns at no cost to consumers so as to ensure peripherals work as they should.

Apparently, the guy who started the petition hasn’t even purchased the game yet.

More of the issues lie with the drum kit where sensitivity of the drum pads are too strong or that it wears out after awhile and beating on a single drum pad could trigger hits on another pad as well. Another issue is also the downward strum of the guitar stops registering after a few hours of play.

Also, PlayStation3 owners should know that the Guitar Hero Drumset is still not compatible to Rock Band 2 although the Xbox 360 version does not face such a problem. However, a patch should most likely be implemented to solve this.

The community forums for Lionhead Studios have lit up like a christmas tree… and I say that loosely somewhat as christmas is 2 months tomorrow.

Reports are coming in that there are some serious bugs and glitches in the game which was only released in Europe today. Infact, some of the glitches are serious game breaking glitches and bugs.

One of the glitches appears as you do the quest Monk’s Quest while you are going through Oakfield as it’s essential to the main story plot.

Rockstar has announced the first DLC of Grand Theft Auto IV is coming and in some cases, it already is.

And you may be astonished to hear that the DLC coming is NOT the exclusive first episode coming to the Xbox 360 verison. Instead, it’s a multiplayer skin which sees you turn into a – wait for it – zombie.

No, I aint shitting you.

I’ll let the press release do the talking after the jump, along with a trophies patch for the PS3 verison.

Resistance 2 Given 9/10 from OPM UK in World’s First Review

Posted in PlayStation 3 with tags , , , , , , on October 24, 2008 by Jonathan Cullen

Okay I promise this is the last one… well, this is the last one come to speak of it.

Anyways, after 2 9′s from Gears of War 2 from OXM and Mirror’s Edge plus an 8 for Tomb Raider Underworld, OPM UK has now seen fit to give Resistance 2 a 9/10.

We gave the multiplayer a good running a while back, it was incredible so based on the mulitplayer right now, the 9 is justified.

Looks like Insomniac Games are going for the gory stuff in Resistance 2 as well now instead of going for the epic thriller or cutesy wutesy stuff they are reknowned for in Ratchet and Clank as we revealed earlier.
