Guitar Hero II Xbox-360

Below are 58 Rockn' Songs by some Kick-ass Artists. This game starts out all too innocently, you call your friend over to play and one pizza and 8 hours later you both have been up Rockin' your life away til about 6a.m. in the morning.

The only hard thing about this game is listening, if you know the song already that gives you such a huge advantage. But if you're an Artist like me you have to listen and cordinate your fingers according to the rhythme and beat (it was lookin' REALLL bad at first).

AWESOME FEATURES:

This game allows you to pick among five out of 10 guitarists right off the bat with a past story. Each song you have the chance to acheive at maximum five stars. The better you do the more money you get at the gig to buy accessories (such as guitars, more songs, unlock characters...etc.), the more respect, and the oppurtunity to play at a tremendous stadium near the end of the game.

THE ART DESIGN:

The art design, and style attracted my eye toward this game in the first place. An ingenius way to play the Ultimate Air guitar and Feel like a Rock star while doing so. I give mad props (and I never say that ...EVER!) to the art directors and producers to this incredibly awesome game.

NOW THE CRITISISM:

The only knock I have on the game is...why not have a creative part in the game where you can make up your own song...or download some beats into the game and then cross them. And also making up your own character. Yes, I realize there was so much time spent on this game in the first place, but I believe this would have added to the extreme demand also...but who am I to talk, I'm not the one with the budget.

LOST PLANET! X-BOX 360 REVIEW

Lost Planet is pretty complex, so I'm going to give the most simplistic explanation to this adventerous game.

Obviously, you're lost on a planet, but a frozen tundra of one. I got pretty far into the game where you're not only fighting huge alien centipede like bugs that give off thermal energy when you kill them, you at some point have to fight off your own kind.."pirates". With your knowledge of manuvering droid-like machines (like the ones in alien II) to make your way through the snow or barrel off a few at the enemy, you are also on a mission to find out who you and your father were. Of course, witnessing your father die in the first level is no help...but you pass out, random people find you and try help you in exchange for yours.

The storyline is pretty good, the game play is almost flawless, and you can tell Capcom spent a lot of time on this project. Oh, and before I forget there is a time factor very well played into the plot. The only time limit depends completly on your thermal energy...the more your run, the more often you jump, or the more often you stand still your intermal clock(which is displayed at the top left corner of the screen) "tick's" faster and faster. You only die if you exert your self way too much too often without absorbing thermal energy sources around you. Lost Planet is a great buy.

Dead Rising X-Box 360 review

This game takes place at a shopping mall riddled with zombies who caught some unknown virus that makes them eat your brain. Sounds cheesy but this game is an excellent buy. After being escorted in a helicopter while perfecting your snap shots skills with this reporter's camera, you try to rack up points for the most grousome pictures you can take.

Afterwards, you are dropped off on top of the troubled mall, and inside try to save as many people as possible while staying within the time contraints your pilot has given you.

Alright, lets get the ugly outta the way first. Since, I've reviewed and played the crap out of this game quite a while ago; like March (right after I got my awesome system). The only thing I found annoying about this game was, when ever I was eaten by a zombie and lost my life, I had to start all the way back at the begining...and when ever I did find a save point it was so far into the game I couldn't take off the dress my guy got changed into at a clothing store.

So there I was running through the mall with black dress socks, loafers, and two stragglers hoping I bring them to a safe point.

There are so many missions in this game it is impossible to complete them all within time. Complete the important ones first.

This game play is very well thought out and graphics are amazing. Many hours of your life will be eaten away while playing this game.

Xbox-360 Crackdown

In a word, addictive.
Leaping from building to building, picking up objects more than 3tons, running faster, jumping near 35 feet into the air...this was all possible by obtaining these small green orbs that help your agility throughout the game. The more you collect the more frequently you upgrade.

In crackdown, you are an agent that is cloned,(depending on how many times you fail or die), and your objective is to bring peace back to all four districts and get rid of scum (gangs, gang lords, and master minds). Grabbing the orbs, mastering your sharp shooting, and beat people up will leave you wanting more and more!
Watch out for the innocent though, if you rough up the wrong people they will turn on you and the cops will not help out ...they will kill you.
Fun eh??
If you don't like this game...uh i have no words on how disappointed I would be..just lie to me and say u played it.
I give this game a 9.9 buy it!!

Beginnings of a Demon (Wet and Set Clay)

To get to this point, it took an hour to get the features down right. It was worth it.

This particular type of clay came damp already. So when done you immerse into water and it hardens after about 4 or 5 hours.

Two hours later

And only after 2 hours it's ready to be put into water.

Clay Demon

This is something new for me. Instead of letting the clay "dry-out" I have to immerse the clay in cold water in order for it harden. I'm happy as long as it does the same thing, and I can paint it. It's starting to harden now so I will take a Photograph of it in the morning. :-)

Accumulation

Again a semi o.k. pic of this, but I am satisfied with the structure, and flow of this one. Along with this one, all of my pastels go nicely with 3D-glasses. I have plans for this idea. I'm so excited about my pastels now, even more so.

Beautiful acrylic painting but bad lighting

This is one of my favorite paintings, If only You could see it in person. After my tax return, this will repost and it will dazzile! lol. I'm paintin my office this color. I finished this early last year.

I am Jacks colon, I get cancer I Kill jack...

Don't beat me up yet. I've got bad cell phone pics of my work next post, immediatly following this one. Now that work is all taken care of and maintained, I have more time for balancing classes, gameplay reviews, and my artwork. :-)

4th proggression (i'm out of practice for spelling)

I've been thinking about adding some red. This has been my longest piece but, patience has certainley paid off ;-).

Art School, a dream come true.

Hey peoples. I get home tonight after 11:30ish. I got into ART SCHOOL!! Well now I have to start focusing on this site, school, and my job. ;-) I will post the rest of my submissions plus the rest of my progression on a bigger piece.

Later

Feburary Fun!

It's been a minute, and my artwork has slowed due to school admissions, transitions in both my jobs, and the lack of sleep. Stay tuned for tomarrow night for a blast of artwork!!

Progression pics! (Sorry for the delay I was sick last week.)

Avatar review (X-BOX System)

Well, as far as gameplay goes for this one it's quite simple. Run around hit some stuff get some tokens or maybe some armor. This only really gets exicting if a wolf happens to be in your path of grabbing some candle wick for an old lady. Another that got my heart pumping faster one beat an hour is when an enemy showed up with fire...I throw wind, so that can't be too good. The concept on this one was good, graphics, good...gameplay L. A. M. E. .
But, I can't expect much when this is aimed mostly toward a younger generation. The developers should keep in mind that games like these are getting more and more in depth, as opposed to running around and throwing sticks and boomerangs', they might fall short on sales and marketing if they're looking to sell a product to the more inclined.
More and more youngsters are kicking ass in the game department, if these guys don't wake up soon they're going to be left in the dust.

This one is a snoozer..I give this a 5 out of 10, and I'm being nice.

Excite Truck review (Wii System)

Three words, I Love It!!!!
Yeah, the graphics look a tad simple compared to the PS3's "shiny" look, but this takes you on one helluva spin. It's amazing how much you appreciate the montioned sensored controller, you tilt right...the truck goes right!
I must be honest at first glance it doesn't look that "Exciting". But gameplay is awsome. I think Nintendo has struck a cord with these back to the basics games.

I give this a 9 out of 10. Run as fast as you can to buy this or play this in the nearest game store.

Comic Water

There's no particular reason for making this...or any of these for that matter. Mostly I"m just screwing around or just need to get something done that I've started.

Still accessories

These are my glasses, camera, and schrunii still life picture. It's like this b/c my cpu is off the short bus and didn't save in landscape position.

These are my feet.
