Guitar Hero World Tour & Rock Band

Kailing — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 17:13:20 +0000

I am hooked on GHWT & RB2 on my PS3 recently. GHWT’s drums were not compatible with RB initially but Harmonix has since updated their patch to allow the use of the drums which means I can now play RB2 with my GHWT set.

GHWT’s drums is quieter than RB’s (I haven’t got to try RB2’s drum set though, so I can only compare RB1’s with GHWT’s). I need to buy another guitar to maximise the number of players to 4 so that we can have one vocalist, bass, guitarist & drummer.

Monopoly Session

I had Ah Boy and Gavin over at my place on Deepavali’s eve. We’ve intended to play Wii and Mahjong but QJ couldn’t make it so mahjong was put off.

After Wii and PS3 (we wanted xbox360 as well but the poor set encountered the red realm of death again so we let it go), we started our long Monopoly session which took a whole 6 hours when I became the 1st one to go bankrupt.

The session ended at 5am, so we took Kookie and Rinko to McDonalds’ @ Rivervale Plaza before Gavin and Ah boy took their buses home.

My dears, please remember to reserve a day for Guitar Hero Wolrd Tour when it arrives at my place in mid November. Hope this time round QJ can join us and we can get to play the mahjong session which we had intended since months ago…..

Game Convention Asia 2008

I went to collect my passport on Friday (finally!) and dropped by at Suntec City Convention Hall to visit Game Convention Asia.

I managed to see the hardware for Guitar Hero World Tour and found the drums and guitar particulary cool.

I also managed to see some professional players on Rock Band. When I say ‘professional’, these guys play the guitar and the drum on expert mode. I can only manage the easy mode on the drums so far.

As I have forgotten to bring my camera, please make do with my Sony Ericsson W910i’s 2MP camera.

There was a Rock Band competition at 4pm that day but I did not stay long enough to watch it.

I caught a glimp of Rayman Raving Rabbits TV Party at the convention too. The same retarded looking rabbits are back but this time, the game make use of the Wii Fit board. Those of you who bought Wii Fit and thought your Wii Fit board is going to be an white elephant after you get bored of the game, you do not have to worry anymore as after Wii Ski, Rayman Raving Rabbits is the next game that makes use of the hardware. I believe there will be more games that involve the Wii Fit board in future too.
