DVD Valkyrie

So I had to check out the DVD valkyrie this week and I have to say I rather enjoyed it the story was well paced and the actors made it seem like they really were apart of the action. Thankfully this week have another DVD with the extra I want. Directors Commentary Behind the Scenes. It’s the Business!! But I haveto say one thing Fascinated me the most. There’s a narration feature in the film. Yup with the press of a button you get a narrator from one of those history documentaries talking to you in the film. Please note this is optional unlike me and michael bower who didn’t have a clue what was going on.
The DVD overall experience in my opinion is a definite must have even if you not into history film keep it to impress the girlfriends Dad and Grand dad. Otherwise Brilliant in my opinion
8/10


CD Aking Against all Odds

Once again always a pleasure to listen to Bevelle rock music at it’s best. Nothing short of a well palatable extension to their first against all odds seeks to show the diverse of the bands music capabilities and overall a perfect long drive CD is you ask me.
Certainly easy to listen to and something I’m happy to say will be a part of my music collection for a long time.

Game Guitar Hero Metallica

Alright so sadly I couldn’t actually get to play this epic game so you going to have to do it and let me know about it on my blog.

Team xbox
Metallica’s “Death Magnetic” album, released as a downloadable pack for Guitar Hero III this past September, probably was a good demonstration of the delivery—and audience attraction—to the metal band’s music, but by that time, the game focused on the group was well underway. You can tell by looking at Guitar Hero: Metallica’s Backstage section, which contains numerous videos of the band, one of which shows a motion-capture session for the song “Master of Puppets,” which happened in April 2008. And the band is fully into it, judging by that clip and the others that come with the game.
It’s important to note, though, that for GH: M, Activision didn’t take the exact same approach as the Aerosmith game, which had video interviews with the Boston-based band filling in the history with anecdotes and a pseudo-timeline of its evolution from playing at high-school dances to filling major arenas. (It’s also great that Guitar Hero: Metallica supports a four-piece band, not just a guitarist.) Sure, you “play” in some of the world-famous venues where Metallica has played and you also get a good selection of music from other big-name metal bands (instead of opening acts, as Aerosmith’s game offered, you get bands that Metallica admires and idolized during its rise), such as Motorhead and Judas Priest.

IGN
The title is a full-band game, just like Guitar Hero World Tour, so guitar, bass, drums and vocals are all part of the mix. Rather than the gig-based progression from World Tour, you'll find something much closer to the original two titles where it's a tier-based system, but instead of having to beat each song in a tier to progress, you need only meet a total star requirement. I actually "finished" the game after having only beaten 40% of the songs,
My biggest complaint for the game is actually tied to the available songs, however, and it's assuredly going to be a disappointment to many folks. The only DLC that the game supports is Death Magnetic - that's it. None of the downloadable tracks for World Tour work here, which means that you'll have to swap back to that disc to play the bulk of your library if you've invested in some new tunes. Really, downloadable content like this should be cross-franchise, and as it's not, the game feels like it's a little separated from the would-be pack.
