LEGO Rock Band

LEGO and Rock Band... each brilliant fun on their own, but together? I'm still not sure and keep swaying between 'why' and then 'well why the hell not'. I know one thing though. I much prefer this LEGO Rock Band animation to the real trailer at the bottom...





Some say GAMEOV3R could beat a mini fig in a 100m sprint. I don't say anything, but I often wonder if they mean a LEGO figure or just a surprisingly small green fruit? Find out on the GAMEOV3R Forum!

Project Trico



I think my soft spot for Team ICO games just got a little softer. I don't know any other developer that manages to make me feel emotions in a game like they do.

This is apparently very early footage of the game so plenty may change but it certainly looks genuine enough to me. It certainly fits in with what team leader Fumito Ueda had to say about the game recently.

The Japan studio bosses are here so I can’t say anything specific, but it might be something similar to what’s been done. … The essence of the game is rather close to ICO.

Multiple Fractures

I recently played through Fracture on the 360 having picked it up for a tenner. It's certainly worth that much and like I do with most games I checked out the achievement list to see what challenges were there for me. A fairly standard list with a smattering of multiplayer ones was the answer. Complete one multiplayer game was one. Hardly an achievement really but why not I thought.

It took a while to find a game which I wasn't that surprised at with the game having been out a while and with multiplayer competing with the likes of Halo and Gears. Eventually a 2 on 2 team deathmatch type affair was begun... soon to become a 2 on 1 team deathmatch with me being the one. I don't blame the guy from dropping out really it wasn't thrilling to be honest. I stuck it out though... achievement unlocked, even though I lost... badly.

Then I spotted that another achievement was to do the above 1500 times. 1500 times?! You can not be serious! I looked around for John McEnroe but like most people on Xbox LIVE he must have been playing something else too. 1500 games of this isn't an achievement it's an endurance test. How on earth did the developers think it would be popular enough for people to reach that one? It left me wondering if anyone actually has this achievement and following on from that, if you do, why?!
