Monday, 1 June, 2009

Activision Trying to Monopolize the Music Game Genre

Friday, 8 May, 2009

Rock Band, watch out, Activision may be going in for the kill…

Rock Band has recently been making a name for itself with the release of Rock Band and Rock Band 2 in a time span of less than a year, however will all their hard work result in failure….?

gh-kill-rb1Activision has been over selling Harmonix’s Rock Band with the Guitar Hero series ever since Rock Band and Guitar Hero have been in competition. This past October, Activision showed that they mean business with the release of Guitar Hero World Tour, a multi-instrument game that is now in direct competition with Rock Band. And its doing its job of making Rock Band look like the little kid of the music game  genre while Guitar Hero looking like the master.  Guitar Hero: World Tour’s 2 month existence in 2008 sold 3.4 million units while Rock Band 2’s 4 month existence in 2008 only sold 1.7 million units.  Guitar Hero: World Tour was able to double the sales of Rock Band 2 in half the time.  Now this is due to several reasons such as the release date, the establishment of the Guitar Hero name, and the compatibility of Rock Band’s instruments with Guitar Hero.

Now Before I Bore You with the details on why we were made and what our vision is lets move on to what you want to read about.  Now since this post has no set topic that I am concentrating on except for introducing you to the site, what would be better than a random scatter of college interest stories that will directly relate to future post that you may read.

snakes-on-planeRecently, as many of you may have heard, the epic movie “Snakes on a Plane” has become reality.  A plane in Australia was landed because 4 pythons that were stored in cargo went missing.  The plane was landed and the snakes were not found.  It was reported that a reptile expert was called and he stated that the other snakes may have ate the 4 missing snakes…Yummy. Final verdict: Reptile expert…WRONG! They weighed the remaining snakes and they had not been any heavier than before.  Way to go “expert.” Anyway, they ended up fumigating(loading the thing with chemicals) the plane and said quote, “If these snakes ever turn up on one of our aircrafts, they will be very much dead snakes.”  Good going buddy, I am sure the passengers on the next flight in Australia are going to love the smell of dead snakes on the plane.  So here’s my suggestion, give Samuel L. Jackson on the phone and I guarantee you he will get those Mother Read the rest of this entry »
