Leveling Down

An artist name peachi has been putting out comics for each Metal Gear Solid game for the past several months. The comics are lengthy so they’re broken up into several parts and she’s up to about halfway through Metal Gear Solid 3. They’re very humorous to read if you’ve already played the games – not sure if you’ll get as much out of them if you haven’t yet since it makes fun of gameplay elements/characters in the games. As a Metal Gear Solid fan who has played them all, I found them be quite a riot and couldn’t help but share them here.

Is this the final round for Guitar Hero and Rock Band, or just this 3-part feature?

So I’ve come to the end of our look at Guitar Hero and Rock Band. We’ve taken a side by side look at Guitar Hero: World Tour and Rock Band 2 in Part 2 of this series. In Part 1, I wrote about some of the best innovations in last year’s music genre releases. With Guitar Hero: Metallica and the Harmonix Beatles project right around the corner, there is a lot to look forward to for music game fans this year. I’m not sure, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Activision put out another Guitar Hero game this year.

So where can the music game genre go from here? The great thing about having two horses in the race now is that they keep trying to out-do each other. Here in Part 3, I’ve listed my top 5 questions concerning things I hope to see in music games in the future.
