Guitar Hero Arcade

I'm about to go to the local arcade and blitz the GHA machine so I thought I'd look around and check the song list. Only to my surprise, I found that there was no TTFAF (Through The Fire And Flames)! The song that had made GH so famous had been given a swift kick up the butt! Thank goodness that the arcade I go to uses a card, because Konami are charging $2 a song, and $3 a "premium" song! To me, I think that once game designers have reached perfection, don't ditch it!

Gaming a history and a review

By Kurty Kool


I was sitting on the couch playing Grand Turismo 5 the other day and I began to realize how far gaming had come in just over half a century (52 years to be precise {the game was tennis for 2})

From these humble beginnings came the rise an extremely large empire. Many empires ! (The Babylonians from AOE I was my favourite!) But the idea of video games took a while to progress.

The early days of gaming, (1958-1992) Classics sprang up everywhere there were: starwars, streets of rage, tetris, donkey kong, frogger, pacman, space invaders, street fighter, super mario bros, super mario kart, abes odeussey and final fantasy just to name a few!

But how do these old games compare to the modern games that have action, story, graphics and level design. And then it hit me, they have passion and simplicity. If it works for websites, books, movies, etc. it must work for games!

PS: I lost the race!
