Band Hero arrived!

Would you like to do with the guitar like Guitar Hero or Rock Band, but unfortunately their playlist you do not like? No worries! The publisher of the Guitar Hero franchise, Activision has decided to make a more pop, more gently, and with less bulk rock, in a clear general public: I called Band Hero.

The editor took the opportunity to tell us the first five titles of the game, but also a trailer (which looks more like a mere advertisement without any phase of gameplay) and three images.

- Taylor Swift – “Picture to Burn”

- No Doubt – “Just a Girl”

- Lilly Allen – “Take what you Take”

- The All-American Rejects – “Dirty Little Secret

- Jackson 5 – ABC

Spread the word, we feel qu’Activision starts overexploit the concept, among the multiple versions of Guitar Hero, to see new original concepts as dubious DJ Hero, and finally as declinations Band Hero (on Instead of simply providing the playlist more of the other games), hope that the publisher does not strayed a bit more.

inFamousImagine waking up one day and finding yourself in the middle of a burning crater, destroyed buildings and dead people everywhere. You soon learn that you are no longer like other humans. Electricity courses through your body, endowing you with superpowers and, by extension, the power to control the fates of those around you. Will you become a noble hero, striving to bring peace to a city in ruins? Or will you lash out in anger, crushing the weak humans who are no longer your equals? In Infamous, the choice is yours. These moral dilemmas intertwine your fate with that of the city, but it’s the amazing freedom that makes this experience so incredible. From unleashing electrical blasts to corral your enemies, to scaling the highest skyscrapers with finesse and ease, Infamous lets you seamlessly control the powered-up hero you’ve always wanted to be. The buggy visuals and gameplay glitches can’t quite live up to the excellent action, but the overall experience crushes these small problems like so many petty criminals. It’s not easy being a superhero, but it is an absolute blast.

A powerful bomb has exploded in Empire City, bringing the thriving island metropolis to its knees. Gangs now rule the streets, causing cops and citizens alike to cower in fear, and a deadly pandemic has forced the government to quarantine the whole area. At the center of the cataclysmic blast is Cole, an ordinary bicycle messenger. Of course, he isn’t so ordinary anymore. The explosion killed thousands and leveled buildings like they were fragile card houses, but it gave him superpowers. Cole can shoot lightning bolts from his fingertips and withstand an inordinate amount of punishment, so he is the one who must track down the bombers and bring order to the city. The story is rooted firmly in typical comic-book struggles, but the characters are so well developed, the problems so believable, that the deeper you plunge into the conspiracy the more fascinating it gets. As the story pushes you toward the chilling conclusion, you’ll become completely immersed in this universe. The cutscenes add to this impact, employing stylish, animated illustrations that would be equally at home in a comic-book. Continue reading
