It seems somebody has made a little mistake by saying that Rock Band 2 will not hit our shores this year instead it will come out in November only in America and will also grace the 360 first and will eventually come out on the other systems.

A spokesperson from EA said that “There was a misunderstanding and there is no confirmed date for Europe.”

With Guitar Hero 4 out this year over here it would of been silly of EA to go up against it but it is EA and I’m surprised they haven’t gone up against Activision this time.

As soon as we get a release date for Rock Band 2 i will let you know.

Well here is the first trailer for Call of Duty World at War and i do have to say that Treyarch are sticking to there word when they say that it will be the most brutal of the Call of Duty, but don’t take my word for it check out the trailer and tell me what you think.

1. Viva Piñata – Party Animals - Girl Power - As a female character, finish a game while never losing to a male character.

2. Robert Ludlams-the Bourne Conspiracy - Need Glasses - Finished a mission with an accuracy below 10%.

3. Ratatouille - King of the Stump - Jump up on top of the tree stump in Mabel’s backyard. C’mon, if Emile can do it…

4. Unreal Tournament 3 - Get a life… - Get 200 kills in multiplayer on 50 different days.

5. X-Men The Official Game - Xavier Institute - This Achievement is awarded when Wolverine’s training mission is completed.

Trying to think up different Top 10’s that other gaming sites have not done can be hard however during a conversation with a friend today i think i struck gaming gold and came up with the top 10 weird Achievements however just to make things a bit different we have spilt them up into two parts the top 5 weird achievements A-M and the same with the letters N-Z.

So without further ado here is the top 5 weird achievements A-M.

5. Hitman Blood Money
Accidents Do Happen - 20G
Get a successful accident kill

4. History Channel Battle For The Pacific
Purple Heart - 0G
Die 250 times in multiplayer mode to recieve the purple heart.

3. Def Jam Icon

2. Hour of Victory
Spray’n Pay - 0G

1. Frontlines Fuel of War
Noob - 0G

Well that is my top 5 and James will have his top 5 weird achievements N-Z after mine.

So tell me what weird achievements i have missed off that you think should be there

Oh Rock Band how you tease us with all of those new tracks and cocky Americans laughing at us because they have had the game since late last year well it’s finally time for us to get a bit of this gorgeous cherry.

The date we have to look out for is as early as May 23rd (yes that early) however we don’t have a price yet but EA might announce that today at a press event they are holding.

Just to make things a little more sweeter we get a few tracks those Americans didn’t get plus all 70 downloadable songs that are available via the US marketplace will also be available from day one with EA also stating that from May 27th all songs will be available on both American and UK marketplace.

So i guess it is now time to go and preorder yourself a copy and take out a bank loan just in-case, plus i also think it’s best if you clear a lot of room as there is enough kit to take up a full spare room.

Update - the price has just been released and cop a hold of this

Instruments (Drums, Guitar and Microphone) = £129.99
Game = £49.99 (everywhere will sell it at £39.99)
Total = £179.98 (£169.98 hopfully)

Grand Total = A shit load of money

Thanks very much EA for bleeding us dry

Update 2 - If you head over to the nice people at Play.com you will be able to get the instruments at £99.99 (saving 23%) and the game at £39.99 (saving 20%).

you will also be able to buy the drums and the guitar on there own with the drums costing you £69.99 and the guitar £59.99.

So thanks to Play.com it is’nt going to be that bad in the end.

As soon as i get pricing information from Game.com and Gamestation i will let you know.

Just in case you don’t know about this site head on over to the lolocaust as it’s one of the best sites out there on the Internet and it has a fantastic forum.

the site can be found here and don’t forget to tell everybody about it.

Now the game has been out a little while so it’s time to tell you what i thought of the game and it isn’t all good news.

To start off with when you play the game for the first time you are in for a little treat as it can be fun to go around with a mate and shot the shit out of the bad guy’s however the cracks begin to show the more you play it.
The games major flaw comes down to the fact that it’s really really short (on the easy difficult setting it can be finished in less that a few hours) and it’s just the same thing over and over again.
The co-op elements just become repetitive and boring as there isn’t any variety to them and this was a very missed opportunity on EA’s part as they could of done so much more to make the game stand out a bit better

I’m not kicking the single player that much as the first play through of this game i enjoyed but i don’t see myself going through it again and again.

Now you might think that the huge saving grace of army of two will come down to the multi player side however this just makes the game worse as there is so much lag most of the time it’s unplayable, the enemy AI is so annoying that they constantly get in the way of you finishing your tasks, your main objectives are the same no matter how many times you play the maps and they stay in the same place and finally the biggest kicker is down to how many multi player maps there are and that’s a huge 4, yes you have read right there are only 4.

So over all the game is a big let down, I’m getting sick of magazines/Internet hyping up a game only for it to be a big let down plus the £40 price tag of it makes it even more hard more me to recommend this game.

Save up your money for either Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 or Condemned 2 Bloodshot.

Overall Score = 6/10

I have a nice special treat for you today with a few new videos from the upcoming EA game Army of Two.
So enjoy.
