[Xbox360] Gears of War : Act1-8 (JPN Ver)

Gears of War in Japanese, I really like it. Makes me think of an old Ikira Kurosawa film. It would be awesome if they updated the US version with this audio track (because it sounds cool - ok jer) with English subtitles. That would be more encouragement to play through the story once again.

Update: Changed the wording a little so my buddy would be happy and to let you know that GOW was #7 in terms of sales in Japan last week. This is a good sign for Xbox 360 in Japan, since it doesn't do very well there.

Ghostbusters

This is a new Xbox 360 game, the developers are trying to work out the licensing to produce it, so we will have to wait and see if it comes out. I loved playing Ghostbusters on my Commodore 64 back in the day, so an updated game to a great 80's movie would be most appreciated.

Macworld 2007



Steve Jobs released a couple of very exciting products yesterday at Macworld in San Francisco. The big announcement was the iPhone, 1/2 iPod, 1/2 phone, and 1/2 internet browser. It is super sleek with no buttons with a touch screen. There will be 2 versions a 4 GB ($499) and the 8GB ($599) and only available through Cingular. I have to say that you must check it out because when the iPhone comes out in June, it is going to be very popular. The next product is called the Apple TV formerly known as the iTV. It is a box the size of the Mac Mini with a 40 GB HD with an assortment of outputs, HDMI, component, optical, and standard audio. It will stream anything from iTunes from a Mac or PC up to 5 computers in the house for the cost of $299 and will be available in February. The final product is a redesigned Airport Extreme (February $179), similar in shape to the Apple TV, which is an update of the original with 802.11N (faster than A/B/G). Another nice feature is that it has an USB port that you can plug in a printer or what I really like is you can now plug in a USB hard drive and share the drive on the network. I am really excited about these products, but I was hoping for a new 23 HD monitor with a HDMI input, but maybe next time.

Imogen Heap


I can't get enough of this artist, the band Imogen Heap is my latest addiction. I have my buddy Jeremy to thank, he sent me this video that is on youtube and I kept playing it over and over. Then the other day I went to Bestbuy to look for it, but no luck. Then Jeremy and his wife found it and he dropped it off for me to hear. I really can't get enough of it, so I recommend you checking out the video on Youtube and let me know what you think and if you purchase the CD too.
