With survivors scattered and civilization in ruins, time is running out for Marcus and his comrades as they take up their Lancers to make one last push that will ultimately decide the fate of humanity.
The "Gears of War" series is one of the most popular franchises in Xbox history, having sold more than 13 million games worldwide, and spawning New York Times best-selling novels, an upcoming film and more.

Simply Kinect – Dance Central
|
Wednesday, December 8, 2010
This is a post made over at GameNTrain by my buddy Susiehulk. Check it out, this post references the game Costa was speaking on in her Zumba Fitness post.
Those who really know me are aware I have certain allergies; kiwi fruit, fish and exercise. I compare exercising to a form of virus; aches, breaking out in a sweat, fatigue, etc. I can never stay motivated enough to reap even the basics from a gym membership, and have seen my hard-earnt dollars go to waste. Yep – even having my credit card charged every fortnight wasn’t enough to motivate me. What’s my point? I’ve barely had Kinect for a month, and right now I am 13lbs lighter without even trying – with thanks to Dance Central.
I must admit, it’s been more than 10 years after my final curtsy from professional dancing, and Dance Central struck me as being not only a challenge, but also my game. It never occurred how much exercise I was going to gain from it – it didn’t cross my mind. Perhaps if it did, well… I do have allergies…
I started the game in Break it Down mode where it instructs step by step the required dance moves in a song. I selected ‘hard’ for my difficulty setting just to see how challenging it would be for Perform It! mode. If at first you don’t succeed the dance move, you will get 3 chances to pass it. If you find within those 3 attempts you still can’t quite get it, it’ll move onto the next dance step – don’t worry you can go back and try it again later. You can also choose to slow the song down and the game will talk you through it. Pretty neat huh? Dance Central features a diverse cast of characters whose dance steps you will mirror. It will also highlight in red where you’re just not getting it.
Perform It! mode is for solo performances of each song, and Dance Battle is Local Competitive for 2 players. Unfortunately there is no opportunity to do this over Xbox Live. I was disappointed to see it didn’t exist, and there are also 2 Achievements for Dance Battle. Looks like I’ll need to pay a friend to be defeated invite a friend to come over and play some Dance Central with me. Each song will take a photo of you and during Freestyle mode you take the stage and dance your own steps. If you move around enough, you should get a flawless result each time – and not only gain points from it but you’ll also receive a video of yourself as a souvenir to remind you just how good (or bad) you really are!
A full list of Dance Central Achievements can also be found here.
The day after I first played Dance Central, I really felt the stiffness and lactic acid sting. Oh it brought back repressed memories of the gym. Unlike my regular “oh but I am too sore” excuse to get me out of the gym for a few days, I was going back for more. As much as my arms ached reaching for the disc it didn’t stop me putting in the game and having another thirty minutes or so of practicing a song, or learning the steps of a new one. I was hooked.
“Hi I’m SiouxsieKate, and I’m a Dance Central addict.”
I also noticed a feature of Dance Central that I will always use whenever I play; workout mode. Toggle this feature in the Perform It! song menu, and everything will still play as normal – you just need to enter your weight and it gives you an estimate on how many calories you’ve burnt in that session and total dance duration. Thirty minutes of Dance Central burns approximately 120 calories for me, and I’m not on a boring treadmill – the time just flies. For those seeing Kinect as a way to involuntarily exercise, please speak with your doctor or medical provider on a suitable weight loss plan.
The best thing I liked about Dance Central? Unlike Guitar Hero/Rock Band, if you really are struggling or make too many errors, it wont stop mid-song – you’ll just bow out with a low score and few stars. Practice makes perfect *grin*.
Full lists of the songs in-game are found here, and the Xbox Live Marketplace currently has six songs as DLC. Want a song featured in Dance Central? Head to the official Dance Central website and you can request a song in the forums.
Will you get bored of Dance Central? I couldn’t answer that for everyone. I will say there is an achievement worth 50GS to complete every song with a 5-star rating on hard. I aim for this achievement during my thirty minute workout.
I rate Dance Central 4 out of 5 stars. I might have given it a full 5 stars given the game was released at launch with no bugs/problems, it’s encouraging and it works with real results. It missed out the final star due to lack of Xbox Live features.
Below is a video I captured this morning for this week’s Simply Kinect to give you an idea on how it looks in Workout mode. Normally I do the Chicken Dance in Freestyle mode, but I felt like showing off (my foolishness) instead. Until next week, ENJOY!

According to Costa: Zumba Fitness
|
Tuesday, December 7, 2010
I have no idea where to start with this review, besides saying bottom line Zumba Fitness is a workout from hell. Its not a bad work out but a good work out, I know I have lost some pounds since buying Kinect and especially since the purchase of Zumba Fitness. Zumba Fitness takes the gym workout experience and delivers it to your home right in from of your TV. You don't have to worry about being embarrassed from being off beat, missing steps completely, or worried about perverts staring at you while working out. Avoiding the perverts is a huge plus for me, but going to the gym seems to much like a job. Playing Zumba Fitness on Kinect makes working out fun. In comparison to the other kinect title Dance Central, Zumba Fitness is very advance in relations to difficulty. Dance Central provides dance cards for you to prompt the next dance step but with Zumba Fitness its pretty much learn as you go besides the basic tutorials. On a scale of 1 to 10, I will give Zumba fitness an 8 because it can be frustrating at times trying to blend the moves and the main menu interface is just down right horrible. Besides those flaw, you will experience a excellent workout.

Infinity's Deathsmiles Controller
|
Sunday, September 5, 2010
So this was my first shot at customizing a xbox 360 controller and I would like to thank Infinity for having faith in me with taking her controller apart. The controller didn't turn out perfect but it is a great stepping stone to make more custom creations. The controller started out as white, purple is Infinity's favorite color and the red finger prints represent the way we murk fools. Nothing was modded on the mechanics of the controller, no rapid fire mods ******the home team does not have to cheat******. Much more to come, more experimenting with different types of paint, before any questions or request get thrown out, the home team will be taken care of first. My aim is to have everyone right in time for black ops.

Limbo First Impressions (XBOX 360 Arcade Title)
|
Thursday, July 22, 2010
Limbo is a new title released on xbox arcade on July 21st, Limbo is very impressive to look so simple. Limbo is completely in black and white and this is one of the main things that attracted me to this title. The art work of this title is so simple yet detailed at the same time. At first glance Limbo may look childish but the death sequences remind me of a Tarantino flick to a certain degree. The plot of Limbo is a little boy searching for his sister and he must solve puzzles to make his way through a black and white abyss. I am only 12% finished with the title, and the final thoughts will be posted upon completion.

Medal of Honor First Impressions (XBOX 360 Beta)
|
Wednesday, July 21, 2010
DISCLAIMER: this review is for the beta of Model of Honor and it does not reflect the final product.
My first impressions of Medal of Honor for the Xbox 360 are good and bad. The beta was suppose to be released for the 360 almost a month ago. This raises the issue of proper game patches and downloadable content be release and if it is released will it be released on time. MOH is EA/Dice's version of Modern Warfare and I must say I love it. Anybody can pick up a controller and start playing Call of Duty but Medal of Honor and Battlefield Bad Company 2 takes actual skill and common sense. Moh has very good physics, I wished the controls were like Bad Company 2, but the controls mimic Call of Duty for example instead of RB to knife its the right analog stick in MOH. Unlike BC2, MOH implements kill streak rewards, and 3 player classes. Let it be known their are bugs in the beta, I've notice whenever I press the back button everything will freeze up. Like every first person shooter glitches and hacks happen, let's just hope with dedicated servers and support MOH will not run into those problems. Unless something really changes my mind, MOH will be purchased over Call of Duty Black Ops.
