Star Wars: Battlefront meets Battlefield 3?

LucasArts has brought the videogame world and its huge Star Wars following some pretty incredible games, including the upcoming Star Wars: 1313. One of my absolute favorite adventure games from the world of SW is The Force Unleashed. It gives the player an amazing opportunity to feel what it would be like to have the force that a Jedi has, and from the dark side at that. The way the game ran, the story, the graphics, music, control, and several other things is what made this game good. One of the most fun SW games I have played would have to be Star Wars: Battlefront, and for some of the same reasons that made TFU excellent.

Gears of War 3 2v2 Tournament UPDATE, and Halo 4

It has come to my attention that one of the biggest rivalry games in the history of the NCAA is going to be happening only an hour after we are holding the Gears of War 3 tournament. In the interest of our attendance, and the BYU vs. Utah's attendance, we are moving the time from 7:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Please check out our Cook Off's page for further details.

It has also come to my attention that Halo 4 is quite possibly going to be the best title in the Halo franchise yet. When Halo: Combat Evolved was released the bar was set high for console FPS's. Halo 2 added to it with the addition of Xbox Live, duel wielding, better graphics, harder enemies, but the story sort of lacked. Halo 3 was an exciting ending to the war with the Covenant race, and added incredible multiplayer, much better graphics, customization, and several other things. Halo: Reach gave us insight on how the Halo story all began, added a new style of multiplayer, and was graphically enhanced.

Symphony: Gaming Dissonance

A demon is taking over your music in the hopes of, something...
It was apparently evil though, and involved music...

Symphony 
PC 


I'm not going to lie I was looking forward to this game, a lot. Perhaps that's why I felt so disappointed in it. Or perhaps it's just a truly awful game. I will say one thing, it was at least bad enough that I forgot to post my original review of it last week. That says something, that says, at the very least, that this game was bad enough that I purposefully tried to forget about it. It says this game was so bad I uninstalled it, and had to reinstall it to grab some screens from it. That statement says many, many things, but "good" is certainly not one of them. But I digress, Symphony, is a music based shooter. Similar to games like Beat Hazard, and Audiosurf, Symphony uses the music in your computers library to build the levels. Unlike Beat Hazard or Audiosurf, though, Symphony is not a railed button-pushing rhythm game or arena shooter. Symphony is an amalgamation of several genres we've seen before, including arena shooters, single-button shooters, music-rhythm shooters, railed shooters, etc. (See what I did there?). Shooting is the name of the game in Symphony, and while this should have been a real blast, and could be with the right tweeks, as is Symphony falls flat.
