Ok so this weekend I got for myself some Music and Some XBOX entertainment. Here are my first person reviews - straight from the horse's mouth!
First up - the Muzeek !
CD's bought -
BA - 11
Adams and his voice are just exceptional. Music is most definitely what BA is know for. Typical Keith riffs and great pace. However, I feel either i've matured or perhaps BA has started to become too 'predictable' on his music.
Rating - # # # 1/2
Bon Jovi - Lost Highway
Now THIS was a serious surprise. Fresh - out of the box stuff. BJ has changed his sound for sure. Much more urban and lots of blue riffs. Listen to track # 5 (dont remember the name) - very juicy ! I heard it a few times before i realized it sounded like Enter Sandman by Metallica !!
Rating - # # # # 1/2
Metallica - Death Magnetic
heh heh ... what can i say. The dudes of metal go back to their roots. They kick ass. And they do it with flavour. If you are a metallica freak - you should love this album and forgive Lars for misplacing his drums during the St. Anger album !
Boy was this nostalgic. It's really fine...
Next up - The XBOX side of things.
Game Bought - FIFA 08

Game Bought - FIFA 08
First Impression:
Absolutely REAL.
Gameplay:
The game sticks to the rules - Football games should not be about Stadiums, lights, costumes, etc. It should be about how 'real' the game is. till 2007, all FIFA did was a one button click of a power shot towards the goal. The trick was to come close enough and then based on the skill, the player will score.
FIFA 08 follows a simple rule - the rule of physics. you need to time your leg swing with the ball so as to get max velocity. And even your best player may not score if he kicks straight into the keeper's face. So you cntrol ball driection too !!
Graphics:
Yummy ! EA rocks on ... great work on the face rendering.
Conclusion:
The game is really great in terms of ball control, kicking, swings, etc. The commentary was not the best part of the game - it tends to lag and the commentators dont exactly shout like they do in 07.
Take my advice - buy an XBOX only for this game if you have to. Pooora Paisa vasool !!
