Frets On Fire






Guitar Zero?
Guitar God?
If you are one of those, or someone who just enjoys Rhythm games, then you would probably like this one.
This game was inspired by Guitar Hero, plays exactly the same, minus the whammy bar, and you can play it with a Xbox 360 Guitar, or a Wii guitar (You'll need a bluetooth connector for the Wii one)


When you first start it off, it comes with three songs to practice with, these are fairly simple songs, so you shouldn't have to much trouble with 'em.
After a while you'll probably get bored of these three songs, so you can do two things here:
1. Download a song from the Frets On Fire Wiki
Or
2. Create your own!

The Wiki should have about every song that you should want...
Also, just a tip for people who are learning to make some songs for FoF, try going going to the Frets On Fire fan forums for help =3

Out of 10, i would rate this an 8/10, a solid game that nearly everyone should like, but it would probably appeal more to people who like Rock music
Catch Ya, Thantos.

Ironman

Yes, I'm finally back, and with a movie review to make all other movie reviews tremble at its very name. Ironman, folks, is a great movie, so stop reading my blog and get out there and see it. What, you're still here? Damn, now I have to review it.
Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr. (omg), is a billionaire weapons designer with only profit in mind. While testing his devastating new missile, the Jericho, his crew is assaulted by Afghan terrorists. Taken hostage, he is forced to build another Jericho for the terrorists with the aid of fellow technophile Yinsen (played by Shaun Toub). With Yinsen's help, he instead creates a powerful machine to aid in their escape. After returning to America, Stark turns his company's focus away from weapons (Stark having seen the devastation his weapons caused to his fellow Americans) and towards a secret project of his own...
Overall, I would say that this is one of the best superhero movies I have ever seen. Granted that I haven't seen a great amount of superhero movies, and that Ironman doesn't have any superpowers, but I know a good movie when I see one, and Batman doesn't really have any superpowers either, and he's a superhero.Final review: If you can suspend your disbelief past the few plot holes and appreciate the movie for its compelling plot, incredible effects and dry humor, you're in for one hell of a ride.
