Games always seem to get better, even when you think they are as good as can be!

I’m glad to see both The Beatles: Rock Band and Brutal Legend get something. The Beatles was my favorite game from 2009 and Brutal Legend was definitely one of my Favs. It just seems that nobody cared about Brutal that much. I was in awe of the whole Heavy Metal theme and had a blast playing it.

Beatles Rock Band rocks! I’ve heard good things about Street Fighter 4 and Arkham Asylum but haven’t tried them yet.

Uncharted is a great game, except for the fact that I can’t get past the part with all of the guards. I definitely recommend getting this game!
