SKYLANDERS: The Next Pokemon

So, i was at Target yesterday, just kinda playing around, looking for a movie, something to entertain me on my day off, aimlessly wondering around in the electronics area, when i get to an isle with these little action figures, what is this? i was drawn to this character that looks like a tree, then i see this glowing pad in front of a t.v. monitor, and it says place character to view, so i plop the toy on the pad, and it shows the little guy fighting in what looks like a video game, then i realize that this glowing rock thing is part of a video game you can take home! and that its this collectible game where you collect these toys and each one has different powers and abilities and its called "SKYLANDERS" I'm in love instantly, In Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, players take on the role of a Portal Master who can control over 32 different characters, including, but not limited to, Spyro. Players embark on a journey into a world where they will explore lands, battle creatures, collect gold and treasures, and solve puzzles while on a quest to save their world from Kaos, an evil Portal Master, who they must defeat. The video game comes with 3 action figures and a peripheral called the "Portal of Power", which connects to the player's console of choice. Each action figure represents one of 37 playable characters, including Spyro, each with unique abilities. The playable characters become unlocked when their corresponding action figures are placed on the Portal of Power. Players can also place one of these special action figures on the Portal of Power of a friend's console (even if it is not the same type of console), and the character's amassed scores, level-ups and achievements are instantly imported for the gameplay session. Additionally, two figures can be placed on the portal simultaneously, for cooperative or versus play.

Characters each have a primary attack, and a secondary attack. They gain experience points by defeating monsters, and leveling up will result in the possibility of getting upgrades. Each character has its own special abilities that differ from each other, as well as assigned elements. This provides some replayability, as each character faces the world in different ways. Although the game only comes with Spyro, Gill Grunt and Trigger Happy, players can purchase the remaining 34 action figures separately, if they so choose.

I currently have 8 of the 32, and i definitely need one from each element, so I'm def going back when i have some spending money and expanding my crew. 

Dance Central: The Babble Review

 So I Have recently been obsessed with Dance Central which is a music video game for the Xbox360 that utilizes the Kinect camera, which is some of the most insane technology i have seen for a game in ages. The game was developed by Harmonix dont know em? sure you do they are the creators of the Guitar Hero and the Rock Band franchises, and is the first launch title for Kinect. It was released in North America on November 4, 2010. so i hooked it up and man oh man, do i burn more calories at home than i ever have lifting weight and jumping jacks in my small ass room. now u do need a good space, to shake that ass, and if ur butt is as big as mine, you will need even more space, so try a living room, cause if you ase greedy and have your set-up in ur room, you most likely will be playing it alone. 

Now this game has different modes. Gameplay involves the player performing given dance moves which are tracked by Kinect and represented on the screen by one of eight in-game avatars. The game features over 650 different dance moves spanning over 90 dance routines. There are five modes available: Perform It: The regular single-player gameplay mode, in which the objective is to complete these dance routines to earn a high score. Workout Mode: An extension to regular mode in which the number of calories burned are also tracked, along with the workout time. Dance Battle: Two players compete in a head-to head dance routine battle. The person with the highest score is the winner. In the rare event there is a tie in the score, the player who passed more moves wins. Challenge Mode: Once four songs in each category have at least four stars on each one, a challenge based on the difficulty is unlocked. This mode increases the difficulty of the game by having four songs combined into one, thus mixing up the dance moves. All challenges must be completed with four stars on each challenge in order to unlock the final challenge. Break it Down: A practice mode that allows beginners to learn more advanced dance moves in a step-by-step process This isnt ur basic WII recognition system, so if ur used to just moving ur arms to get through it, hasta la vista, cause this is like having a true coreographer breathing down ur back. it knows skeletal movements so it knows what ur up to. dont hate the player hate the game.

The game received favorable reviews from critics, garnering an average score of 82 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on 53 reviews. The game received a rating of 8/10 from IGN and a rating of 8.5/10 from GameSpot. Popzara's Brittany Vincent praised the game, saying "Dance Central may be the best game of its type ever made. It sashays out of the gate swinging with slick presentation, fantastically responsive controls, a shakin' set list, and the innovative edge of hands-free control. As a party game, a workout option, or even a private break down, it just works; it's the next evolution for dance games." Video game talk show Good Game gave the game an 8 out of 10 calling it the best launch game for the Kinect and a step forward for dance games. They said workout mode was a nice addition which will definitely give you a workout and the Dance Battles would be a big hit at parties. Nintendo of Americas President, in an interview told that "Dance Central is, by far, the best Kinect game"

Bottom line: GET THIS GAME: cause its a great first game for the Kinect. and its great for groups.

(DE) F.A.M.E.

Always Was A tiny Fan Of Chris, but all recent events aside, i am giving my full honest review, I am currently streaming, the whole album, from my XBOX radio, and so far its completely void of the rage monster that was at the Good Morning America performance. it opens with the widely popular "Deuces" which i am also a fan of, the next track is a little stereotypically R&B sounding, any artist could have made "Up To You" That song leads into a more upbeat mid-tempo track called "NO B.S." completely racy and sexual, and it sounds as if he has never been in a English classroom. Not a fan of track 3. "Look At Me Now" is after, and i don't know if he wants credit as a rapper, but i think he raps for about 15 seconds, then handsoff the surprisingly impressive rap baton to BUSTA RHYMES who blows it out the water! "She Aint You" (English soooo bad) which samples SWV's "RIGHT HERE" is probably my favorite track so far. its a nice slick beat, but hes not doing much but lying his own lyrics in the exact same fashion on an already popular 90's HIT which also featured Michael Jackson. NOT IMPRESSED yet "Brezzy" lmfao is that a real nickname? anyways lets move on. "Say It With Me" is the next bringing a club beat and guetta knock-off rhythm's, I LOVE IT!!! lol damn u got me on this one!!!! it a good dance track. onto track 7 "Yeah 3x" I'm not really a fan of this song, it kinda sounds like.......hmmmmm a vengaboys track, remember them WE LIKE TO PARTY! lol or a continuation to that doubblement gum song he did. whatever maybe someone will film a wedding to this song too. so right now I'm looking at the album like you would a crazy person, hes all cocky and evil and violent in the first half, then turn all sentimental, its so far inconsistent, "Next To You" is sweet & cute, yadda yadda yadda, "All Back" is the following track i honestly only listened to one line, and had to skip the track because the radiant stench of bullshit was steaming out the speakers. No i literally Lol'd at the title of the next track "Wet The Bed" which is obviously about chris eating a girl out.............................uh!.................ok moving onward!!!  the next song is "Oh My Love" has a bomb intro i dig the beat, and layers. I'm diggin it, I'm feelin it. i give this one a Babble stamp of approval. (BSOA) track 12 "Should've Kissed You" ok its cute, lol its aight! "Beautiful People" has a sick ambient, sound and i fucking love the first vocals on it, insanely awesome sound mixing. another BSOA. kudos to the producers of this track. The next track, so you don't get Chris Brown confused with any homosexuals is called "Love The Girls" Nice middle eastern beats, sounds a little "keri hilson-ish" which i love. its an okay track. I'm a fan of the "Travis barker" drum beats in the center of the song. "Paper, Scissors, Rock" has a sick Step Troupe beat reminiscent of "HOLLERBACK GIRL" but then TIMBO aka. "Timbaland" comes in and ruins it for me, sorry readers, i hate "Timothy Mosely" as an aspiring producer i probably should steer clear of hating, but I DON'T CARE NONE! the last song "Beg For It" a nice song, to skip. overall out of 17 tracks i liked 2 alot and two soso. id say sample it on itunes. but go with my Stamps (BSOA) to be safe ;) til next review! PEACE OUT! 

Help! Im in LIMBO!!!

If you have XBOXlive and you have not purchased the amazing "XBOX ARCADE" game "LIMBO" then i suggest you do immediately, because you are fuckin missing out! like most platform puzzle games, Limbo isn’t going to make you laugh, giggle or slap ur knee at the crazy cartoon antics, unless you have a slightly dark sense of humour, which on my end i do, but even with my slightly dark off-beat sense of humor, i had a few jaw-dropped moments while playing. The official summary of the game is “Uncertain of his sister’s fate, a boy enters LIMBO”. Like that austere and sparse description, the game world is full of empty space, leaving a lot of room for the player to imagine the world behind the game, rendered in what can be described as a beautifully layered charcoal sketch, with a silent film era grain. its a figure-it-out-on-ur-own approach, very cut and dry. As the boy, you make your way to the heart of the matter, and to get there, you have to overcome a series of logic puzzles (some took me several minutes to decipher) and enemies. The developer, Playdead, doesn’t hammer you over the head with a story. Instead, it unfolds slowly as you make your way through the various sections of Limbo, from industrial wastelands to shadowy forests. As you progress through the game, there’s an almost hypnotic, dream like quality to the whole world, as you’re immersed completely in it.

So if your in the mood for a five-star rated game i suggest LIMBO. its great. take a gander at the game trailer
