Band That Plays At Night, The - Malarky

"Wii Wanna Rock (Band that is.)"

Advantages: Another great opportunity to move away from the conversional gamepad
Disadvantages: That drum kit isn't half loud.

Finally after a year of the game being out us poor old British Wii owners get to join in with the revolution that is ?Rock Band 2?. The game is part of the ever increasing range of music and rhythm based genre games that have sprung up around us in the recent years. Having always been a big fan of the first game I was overjoyed when the sequel made its way into our household, as it made available a lot of features that were up till now reserved only for the likes of the PS3 and Xbox 360 owners. The game has again been produced by the company Harmonix who are the guys behind the original ?Rock Band? title as well as creating the original ?Guitar Hero? series which would then be taken over by Neversoft. Just how do Wii Rock? First off for those unfamiliar with this particular style of game the aim is to play along in ...

Review of Rock Band 2 (Wii)

Play the night away

Advantages: Low price, great number of games available across different genres, good value games, extra features
Disadvantages: Multiplayer poor, memory cards annoying, load-up times poor, games not up to standard of competitors

kids despite its technological 'age', it's not hard to see why Playstation is as successful as it is. What is it that keeps attracting the customers to the Playstation though? -----Price----- Well, to put it bluntly, it is cheap. The console itself can be purchased with 3 or 4 games for as low a price as £90 nowadays, and the games often dirtcheap. I have seen some games offered for as £2.50 firsthand, which is amazing value when compared to the likes of N64, which, despite being a fairly old console in itself, is still charging up to £50-£60 per cartridge. For young and old game-lovers alike, this console is a great way to get some entertainment without having to fork out too much. Fun games with relatively decent graphics at low prices have to be a must for all game lovers, and this console is certainly preferable over ...

Review of Sony PlayStation

"I Want To Be There When The Band Starts Playing..."

Advantages: Instrumentally And Lyrically Sublime
Disadvantages: None, Unless You're Not A Fan

the impression that this is a group that has a strong footing in family values and a clean upbringing, an impression shown to be true from the band themselves. 3. In A Station **** This again changes the pace of the album and is far more of a dreamlike song, with a floating vocal and almost whimsical lyrics, something that would become for me very much connected with the songs of Richard Manuel, contrasting with some of the more rocking numbers written by Robbie Robertson, who would later become the dominant lyricist in the group. The song does help to break up the rhythm and forces you to sit up and take notice rather than simply let the songs be played at you. 4. Caledonia Mission ***** At this point in the album you begin to realise that the guitar, an instrument seen as the dominant piece in a rock band has been forced to the back thus far ...
