Gamers Evolved

We have just received word that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots will be released in the U.S. and Europe on June 12th of this year. It will be released exclusively for the PS3. After much delay we are happy to see that it has been given a confirmed date and it seems that it might be more popular than what we previously thought.

Konami also announced that all who pre-order MGS 4 will have guaranteed access to the online beta test for the game in April. Between Grand Theft Auto IV coming out in April and Metal Gear Solid 4 being released in June – it seems that PS3 gamers will have plenty to keep themselves busy until the holiday season rolls around.

This Christmas proved to the gaming world that gamers love to perform and jam out to their favorite music. I don’t think anyone expected Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band to make as big of a hit that they made. Now Disney is hoping to appeal to the more casual gamer with their new game – Ultimate Band that has been released for Nintendo Wii and DS.

Blizzard is well known for its popular and addictive World of Warcraft game. The ability to play with millions of other people in a world that is fascinating to many of us is what has drawn so many gamers into it. It seems though that Blizzards other fun – but not as popular game – Guild Wars may be coming more into the picture.

Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are the three major video game manufacturers and so far Microsoft and Sony have branched out into new areas like cell phones. Nintendo has been so successful with the Wii that they haven’t had any need to think about branching out to that area. Now it looks like things have finally slowed down and they have been brainstorming on some new ways for people to play their favorite games.

SingStar is one of the more popular items that was released by Sony. That is why it is no surprise to us that they have worked on making a version of the game for the PS3 console. The new version allows you to download songs off of the PlayStation Network and allows you to personalize your playlists.

SingStar for the PS3 is almost the same as the one that was on the PS2 console. You still have the ability to plug in a microphone to the console, and start singing to any song that you like. There are 30 tracks that come on the game and they are from some of the popular bands like Blink 182, Musical Youth, The Killer, and REM. Of course there are some songs on there with titles that we didn’t even recognize.
