Hi gamers.
Sorry for the long hiatus. I do go through long periods where not much is going on in my mainstream gaming that is worth writing about but it's probably a good idea for me to do a short update every now and then anyhow.
So, I am continuing to enjoy the stuff I have and get one or two new titles for my PS3. My two most recent buys are Mortal Kombat 9 and Rock Band 3. I am sorry to say that I have really not put as much time as I need to into either title so don't have much of substance to say about them yet. One comment I will make about MK9, if you've checked any of the other ones out in the past and were disappointed by the sound effects and the somewhat cheesy voice acting you are in for a pleasant surprise with this new addition to the series. While it is true that the voice acting is still a bit corny in spots, this is more just how the series has evolved and how the characters are portrayed than it is lack of good voice acting. The sound effects are also much more advanced than in previous versions while still maintaining that good old MK atmosphere. So, although I really need to invest much much more time in this title than I have so far I am very glad to have gotten it. As for Rock Band 3, I got it with the keyboard controller which is a new addition to the controllers available for the game, it is possible to use this to play guitar parts as well but as I said I really have not learned much of anything about this one yet. I may end up picking up a plain guitar controller just for simplicity's sake, I must admit the keyboard controller is somewhat daunting with it's numerous buttons. I am sure I will get going on this one hopefully fairly soon and when I do I will post another update.
Game on.
Tom
