Legendary comic book dude Stan Lee has been talking games at this years Comic Con. He said some nice, yet obvious things.
When you talk about games evolving over the years and becoming more like movies, in many ways, they’ve gone beyond movies,” he said. “To do a movie is difficult, but it’s linear. There’s a beginning, a middle and an end, and that’s it — you write a story.
In a videogame, you’re writing many stories within the story. It’s a totally different structure and a totally different philosophy of writing and, I think, a much, much more difficult one. I get the feeling more work goes into these videogames than even goes into the movies.
I marvel at the fact the games look as good, and in some cases better, as the most expensive movies. [Those] guys are just geniuses. Now you watch one of these games and it’s like watching the greatest superhero movie, except you’re part of it. It’s indescribable.
Nice things said there but like it said, they were pretty obvious.

It looked nice but was all fake. Still I don’t think even that could beat Rock Band 2’s list. There were some real songs in there but most of them were good guesses. I don’t think Harmonix would want to share songs like ‘Everlong’ and ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ (coming as DLC) because they’re awesome and good exclusives. Hey i’m getting the game so I hope there’s a decent confirmed setlist coming.
It’s official Atari’s Alone In The Dark is finally coming to the PS3 this November. The 360 version got absolutely hacked to death by reviewers so I think the only reason for Atari to bring this piece of shit to the PS3 it to make more money (if it can sell).
Maybe it’ll be better? Not likely. Maybe it’ll do better in the winter when there’s nothing…oh right yeah everything’s out in winter.
This has got to be the death of Atari. Phil, what have you done?

Guitar Hero (A Parody Of Foreigner’s ‘Juke Box Hero’)
Standing in the shop, he needs to get home
Unbox his copy , pre-ordered months ago
Heard the game get going, saw orange through to green
Looking at his TV, couldn’t believe what he could see
His plastic guitar, just blew him away
He got stars in his eyes, and the very next day
He got some friends, from his local store
They didn’t know how to play it, but he knew for sure
That fake guitar, felt good in his hands
Didnt take long, to understand
That plastic guitar, slung way down low
His little Rock Band, playing ‘Say It Ain’t So’
He started playin’
Aint never gonna stop
Gotta get to expert
The leaderboard he needs top
And be a Guitar Hero, (got stars in his eyes)
He’s a Guitar Hero
Plastic guitar,(Guitar Hero, stars in his eyes)
Guitar Hero, he plays it day and night
Can’t do without the game, he needs to play more
Like a celebrity, in his local store
Shivers when he thinks, what he’d do without the game
that plastic guitar and his rise to fame
Now he needs to keep playin
He just cant stop
Gotta keep on playin
That leaderboard he must top
And be a Guitar Hero, (got stars in his eyes)
He’s a Guitar Hero, (got stars in his eyes)
Yeah, Guitar Hero, (got stars in his eyes)
With that fake guitar he feels alive
All day and night
Yeah, he’s gotta keep playin
He needs to stop
Gotta keep on playin
Not one place can he drop
And be a Guitar Hero, (got stars in his eyes)
He’s a Guitar Hero, (got stars in his eyes)
Just one game, (put stars in his eyes)
He’s just a Guitar Hero, (aah aah aah)
Guitar Hero, (Guitar Hero, he’s got stars in his eyes)
Stars in his eyes
So, what ya think?
You can see the other parody here.
