Gamers Evolved

When Tales of Symphonia first came out in 2003 on the Gamecube it became a successful game. It was one of the few game series from Bandai Namco that took off. Many people are excited to hear that they will be releasing a sequel to the game for the Nintendo Wii. Unfortunately though we have no idea exactly when that release will be.

Rock Band has become one of the more popular games to be released on both the PS3 and the Xbox and has even managed to win a few awards. Nintendo has also seen the fame and popularity that Rock Band can bring and will be releasing Rock Band on June 22nd for the Wii.

Nintendo will be releasing the game as the special edition package that will include the guitar, drums, and mic for $169.99. The only thing that the game won’t come with is the downloadable material that comes with other formats. They will however include five new songs.

PS3 has finally made the leap to add the now reigning champion – Blu-ray to their consoles. The new firmware version 2.20 is now available and will allow the PS3 to support BD-Live (Blu-ray Profile 2.20) discs. These discs will allow gamers to access some online features and online games.

The new 2.20 firmware adds a few other new features to the PS3, too, mostly in the multimedia department:

- The ability to copy PS3 Music and Photo playlists to a PSP system. We introduced the ability to create Music and Photo playlists on the PS3 in firmware update v2.0. Now you can easily export your playlists to your PSP.

Bully: Scholarship Edition is an updated version of Bully – which was released by Rockstar almost a year and a half ago for the PS2. In the game you are a student attending a boarding school because you were a big, bad bully at your other school. You spend the whole game trying to make up for your transgressions and work your way back up to earn people’s repsects

The game is less about being a bully and more about the role of becoming a protector for the harassed – which is something of a relief among the other games that are being released. By fulfilling missions, you progress from one chapter to the next.

Ever since the release of the Wii, Nintendo has been the talk among gamers and has been the most popular gaming console out doing even the ilustrious 360 and the legendary PS3. Peraphs the fame is getting to their head or else they are focusing all their projects on trying to make sure that they stay in the lead of the competition – but they once again have failed to receive a good score from Greenpeace.
