Clip of the Night (4/3/08) Guitar Hero Nutshot!!


I just saw this on G4's Attack of the Show and this clip is hilarious. Good thing I don't play Guitar Hero and Rock Band standing up.

Bonus Music Video of the Day - Madonna's 4 Minutes



Alright, just found a lucky link of this one since Warner Bros. Records has been on a tight leash taking out this music video off YouTube since it is out on the iTunes Music Store to buy. This is Madonna's 4 Minutes to Save the World featuring Justin Timberlake and Timbaland off her new album, Hard Candy, out at the end of the month. As expected, Timbo delivers another banger for the world to listen to. This video is not the greatest quality, but be glad its here for now.

Music Video of the Day (4/03/08) - Linkin Park's Given Up





I didn't even know there was a video for this song till now, so yeah. Actually, it is one of the better songs off Minutes of Midnight, so at least the guys did a video for it. Sure, it wasn't the best album they had put out (Hybrid Theory is still the best from them), but I'm not afraid to say Linkin Park is one of my favorite mainstream bands to listen to. I'm still waiting for this band to get supported for Rock Band like Hybrid Theory as an album download (except Cure for the Itch) unlike Guitar Hero III with No More Sorrow. Then again, you will get your obvious complaints from various forums about how wasted of an effort for the developers to put some songs up for download (I'm still waiting for Nirvana's Nevermind on Rock Band anyway).

Sonic Unleashed....Again

Looks like Sega is ready to pull the trigger this time officially announcing Sonic Unleashed for later this year. Of course, there's still doubts among Sonic fans that this game will suck like most of the 3D games, but it still seems promising at best for now. Here's the 1up news story as well as the "official" trailer for the game (a little similar to the leaked video I posted last month).

Another new Weapon for Ninja Gaiden II (360)

Ninja Gaiden II is two months away now from release and currently, Microsoft is doing a campus tour of a beta version of it at various colleges around the country (This beta demo is likely to come out on Marketplace in the coming month). Check the NeoGAF thread for more on that as well as new gameplay footage of some Dante-like chick named Sonya and these new screenshots of a new weapon Ryu is using against this huge monster. Its a ball of chain reminscent of that one Asian chick from Kill Bill, but this is Ryu Hayabusa we're talking about and he will do crazy things with it as if the Wolverine claws and the scythe are enough. I loved the XBOX Ninja Gaiden like crazy as one of my favorite games of all-time with such a good feeling of beating such a difficult game (well not on Hard and beyond) even on normal difficulty. I never played Sigma yet, but once I get a PS3, I don't know if I want to now since NG2 would be out by then. I nearly forgot about this one being on my top 10 most wanted for a while till recently, but the gameplay is always near-perfect and satisfying even if the graphics don't seem as much as a leap for now.
