Guitar Hero: World Tour

Guitar Hero:World Tour is a HUGE step up from guitar hero 3. In the new guitar hero you can rock out with every instrument in a band. The Guitar, Bass, Drums and Vocals. There are tons of songs! Including Purple Haze By Jimmi Hendrix and Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne. In the game, You can customize pretty much every aspect on the instrument you choose. You can either go into career mode as yourself, our create a band with your friends. Now, You can also compose, Record and edit music. You can share that with everyone online! You can also take the band online and compete against other bands. Or you can join a online band. Another step up are the graphics and sound. In the middle of the song you can hear the crowd singing along and you see the strings actually move when the guitarist plays.

If I were to rate this game I'd give it a 3 1/2 star. 

There are still some gimmies in this one. Like how the drums are pretty fragile and you can easily wear down the pads.

NHL 09

EA Sport's NHL 09 is a huge hit. With great graphics and a whole new Hitting system delivers a phenomenal game. The new Be-A-Pro mode lets you step in the skates of a new created player or a NHL player. If you decide to be a Created Player, you must pick an AHL team to start out with. If you play good you get moved up lines until you get called up to the NHL. If you play poorly you might just get traded. While going through Be-A-Pro mode you can even get your own hockey card! Also whenever you get to the bench or after a period your coach gives you two things you do right and two things you can work on. He also gives 3 grades. Also the all new Defensive Skill Stick helps too, making the game way more realistic. You can pick-pocket an opponent by lifting their stick, or you can poke check the puck away with the new 360 degree stick control. Another new feature is the addition of the Czech,German and Russian leagues which makes even more fun for the whole world. I'd Give This Game A 4-Star Rating because there are still some gimmes. Like how the national teams jerseys only have the flag and a design. Also they should add more historic teams like the Red Wings and the Leafs and ecspecially the 1980 U.S.A. team. It would also be cool if they added the Winter Ice Classic. 

If I could tell you anything more it would be to go out and buy this game! It Is Amazing!
