You and your buddies try and rob a bank with one of you being a snitch. The robbers had to rob the bank while trying to [...]
DJ Hero 2 plays it pretty safe. But this sequel to last year’s surprisingly successful study in turntablism (who would’ve thought people would want another plastic peripheral?) will allow you to get at least a little more use out of your faux-DJ skills. At a recent Activision event showing off the upcoming Guitar Hero and DJ Hero 2, I tried spinning my own beats to see what’s changed — beyond the new artists and tracks — in this year’s version of the game.
While Activision’s big talking points revolved around the specifics of the added multiplayer modes (new ways to battle against friends, and prove who’s the superior scratcher), I was much more interested in the gameplay itself. See, my biggest problem with the first DJ Hero was that it didn’t give you any creative freedom, but in DJ Hero you’re playing one of the most creative and individualistic instruments out there. To a degree, DJ Hero 2 tries to remedy that problem. Like the drum fills in Rock Band and Guitar Hero, short sections in each song give you almost total control over the beat, allowing you to alternate freely between tracks and scratch to your heart’s content. They’re agonizingly short interludes, but they give you that burst of freedom you need, while not violating the integrity of the original DJ’s work.

The North American version isn’t a straight localization. Square Enix is enhancing it with more multiplayer options, an extra boss fight, and more multiplayer modes. An interview snippet also mentioned rebalancing the game by nerfing Megalfare and powering up bosses, but those changes are still unconfirmed
If you’re eagerly anticipating a big event in mid-April, you’re either an IRS employee or a Splinter Cell fan. And if you can’t wait to try out Splinter Cell Conviction when it comes out April 13, you can take a crack at it this Thursday, March 18, when the demo is set to hit Xbox Live. Kotaku reports that the demo includes two stages from the game, but steers clear of plot spoilers. That is, plot spoilers besides “Sam Fisher kills bad people.”
If you need further convincing to dedicate some hard drive space for the demo, check out our hands-on preview. It covers the first few levels, along with some of the new multiplayer modes. “Playing different modes of Conviction for 90 minutes makes the game look like a damn good package overall,” wrote Thierry Nguyen. Here’s hoping the demo is a damn good package too.
It’s been a long wait for Ghost Recon fans but Tom Clancy fanatics are entitled to a special treat should they pick up Sam Fisher’s newest outing this April. While game details remain sparse in the press release below (No screenshots Ubisoft? Really?) we do know that Ubisoft Paris is behind this one again. And much like the Halo: Reach beta on the ODST disc, future soldiers will have to wait until summer when the multiplayer demo finally goes live. Strangely, PS3 owners are getting the shaft on this one with the beta only available for members of Xbox Live. The question remains whether gamers will have tired of the whole “Modern Soldier Model” after a year with MW2 and the next Medal of Honor installment.

IronstarMovement writes: "In a recent vlog posted up on David Jaffe’s youtube he spreads some insight on how he feels about the current generation of gamings multiplayer modes. Now while not getting into any detail of the secret game that he is working on *Coughs* "Twisted Metal", he did discuss a conversation he had with a couple of people involving the multiplayer mode from the game that he is working on."
