Mastodo

Divinations

New single by the Mastodon guys. Banjo? in my metal? It's more likely than you think.
This Bearcore is great!

Left 4 Dead

Great game!

Last xmas vacation was a blast thanks to Valve, once again this guys deliver a glorious FPS.
I found quite refreshing that in a FPS your character is actually fragile for a change, you either learn teamwork techniques or die alone very easily.

About the teather of dreams

Soulless wankery has its place and it can be an interesting display of technical prowess.
Nevertheless, I always try to feel the flow.

Star Wars

The Force Unleashed for iPhone Game Review

Somebody should double check this releases in Lucasarts because this one's close to a stinker.

Let's go over the good points first.
-Innovative fighting with finger gestures.
-Good graphics for a mobile game. Gorgeous background.
-Great layout and presentation. Clear game menus and color choices Different display modes.
-Decent sound and music for a mobile game.

Now onto the not so awesome topics:
-Story: it is not coherent enough, completely hacked into bits and pieces. No character development of any kind. It feels like small bite size sections of the real game inserted here and there as fan service for those who played the console version.

-Fighting: all the innovation of the finger gestures goes down the drain when you realize you can only use the lightsaber in a passive way. Fail.

-Bosses: predictable and ridiculously easy. Only the last fight somewhat redeems this fact.

-Fun factor: gets repetitive fast.

-Replay value: they are a bunch of survival missions and hard mode. Still, the fun factor is low.

Conclusion:
This game is definitely not worth it's salt. Only for hardcore star wars fans, and even those will rage/cry.

Death From Above 1979

Heads Up!

This little kick ass EP from DFA is simply great. Try to get it and enjoy more of their fun dance punk. The style is quite alike that of "You're a woman, I'm a machine".

A small fix for those of us still mourning DFA1979 death.

The Killers

Day & Age

I feel like the The Killers are turning more into a New Wave band with some rock touches, instead of a rock band with synth support.
Anyway, after initial shock passes you will find yourself enjoying this record with the familiar musical hooks and the glam that The Killers have always displayed.

("Spaceman" reminds me of Ziggy Stardust, and that's a good thing).
