G.R.A.W 2 Online Multiplayer
A Short overview of the Online Game play in GRAW 2 and perhaps some of the good and bad things I bring you.
I’d also like your take on the Online in GRAW 2.
One thing to remember sadly to say I did not play a lot of GRAW 1 Online, but I did play its Campaign but here are some slight takes on the game from my perspective.
The first game in a while to offer clan features on the Xbox 360, also integrating a good party system on Xbox live, letting you get you friends in the room easily.
There are a variety of different game types, offering a good mixture of team battles and large skirmish type games, allowing for a good mix of different game types.
There is no cover system like in the story mode, for multiplayer but it doesn’t take away from the game experience to extremely. But there is a slight cover system allowing a crouch and also an ability to lie down.
Rainbow Six Vega has a lot of things that I’d like to see in GRAW 2. Especially the cover system in R6 and the basic shooting system compared to GRAW are completely different, but if you took the concept of both and put them together it would make a very interesting game.
Many of the maps are quite large compared to many of the recent maps on Xbox 360 Games, the recent Gears of War maps don’t even come close to covering some of the depth of the maps in GRAW 2.
GRAW 2’s Ranked mode allows for a very Basic leveling system.
The graphics are a pretty good upgrade from GRAW 1 but its more like GRAW 1.5. None the less it’s really fun and it a good time with your friends.

Halo 3 "X" Button!
It has been announced that Halo 3's "X" button will be a "weapon release"/"weapon" button and have a lot of weapons that are going to be used by the "X" button.

Guitar Hero II Review
Review on Guitar Hero II for the Xbox 360.
Guitar Hero II is for Xbox 360 and Playstation 2.
Each version of this game offers different aspects but pretty much the same awesome game play.If you liked Guitar Hero I on the Playstation 2, then it’s almost assured, that you will like Guitar Hero II.
Guitar Hero II gives you everything you want and more. “Rock ’n Roll Glory” is the “feeling” brought on by battling threw a long song on hard and finally completing it without failing.
The Version Reviewed is the Xbox 360 version.
The new Guitar Hero II has brought a feeling that the previous Guitar Hero delivered on completely. The feeling of when your “Jamming” on almost every other note in the song, linking it’s “guitar lyrics” together to make the sounds coming from your button pressing “amazing” and “exhilarating”. In the “main menu” the (“Title Screen”) lists your choices of Guitar Hero II “game options”.
1. Career- Most Reviewed Part of Game.
2. Quick Play- Lets you and your pal, play with a 360 controller and another Guitar, allowing for two guitars at the same time playing different notes and even different guitar styles: Bass, and Electronic etc.
3. Multiplayer- “Characteristics” of “Multiplayer”, “No Online Functionality” for Multiplayer on Xbox Live, but there are online leader boards perhaps we can expect a downloadable “Online” Mode in the future of Guitar Hero II’s life span.
4. Training- Leads you into how to play Guitar Hero II if you don’t already know how to play, also gives you an achievement for completing.
5. Leader Boards- gives you the chance to see the top Guitar Heroes and there “In song score” and how “Rockin!” you are compared to them and your friends on Guitar Hero II.
6. Options- this gives you of course all the necessary items that allow you to change game play, visual and audio options.
The normal 4 difficulties in “Career” Mode that are given to the gamer to choose from are among the listed.
1. Easy
2. Medium
3. Hard
4. Expert
These levels each lead a way into the game and will lead you into an achievement hunting refuge for days, mostly late nights.
Each “venue” (“stage”) gives a heighten “sense” of your “popularity and fame”. Also through gaining momentum gains access to these venues; it will lead you to gaining more money. This gives you the ability to buy items in the store and more Guitar Hero “items” such as “Finishes”, “Downloads”, “Songs”, “Characters”, “Outfits”, and “Videos.” These are all the options given to you in the “Store” menu of the “Medium, Hard, and Expert difficulty, there is no ability to purchase these “items” in “Easy Mode” of career mode.
This is it for my review of Guitar Hero II, it’s a little short is missing a couple of things but it brushes over the most important parts of the Guitar Hero II universe.
