Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock Review

ALL HAIL THE ROCKER! This LAST (or not) game of Guitar Hero from 2010 by Activision and Neversoft is OFF THE AMP! This game gives you 93 songs on-disc, All your GHWT and GH5 DLC, and your songs from GH5 that you created. The studio hasn't changed a bit since GH5, which people say is the best Guitar Hero Game. But, if you add them up, SGM has the facts.

Updates:
1) Quest Mode featuring the voice of Gene Simmons!
2) Quickplay+ with 18 to 36 extra stars you can earn in each song you play.
3) The Cheats are very funny even featuring this Cheat, "ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!" XD
4) Grading a song is very funny.

Cons:
1) Studio has no change.
2) Characters still don't move (except the drummer) for Custom Songs.
3) NO VOCALS FOR CUSTOM SONGS STILL! THAT IRRITATES ME!

Cool Stuff:
This features the power to bring your GHWT and GH5 on-disc songs to Warriors of Rock.

So, to sum it all up. Let's say it is a notch below perfect with a 9.6

Gamer News Post

Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2013 announced!
Yuma and Astral are back, but this time on the DS (and hopefully the Wii U) in the next addition of the World Championship series. Hopefully, Kazuki Takahashi will ship it before Summer Break.  wink

Re: Scratch Gamer Magazine-Now Hiring

I have a list of games to review, Top priority being at the top and least at the bottom. Please let me know if anyone else is reviewing or has already reviewed these, you can review these if you want though. I own or have played all these games. ET being the only exception. I don't want to play it, but the story is interesting.

Kill List:
Star Fox (SNES) FX CHIP! REVOLUTIONARY AND AN ICONIC GAME.
SMW2: Yoshi's Island (SNES) See above.
Golden Axe (Genesis) Never played it, Found it in my collection of genesis games.
Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest (NES) A bold risk that Konami took. Not many liked it.
The Legend of Zelda (NES) Defines the genre "ADVENTURE FANTASY"

I also thought of reviewing these abominations:
Superman 64 (N64)  Because of its controls, ending, ect. Too much to list.
ET (Atari 2600) Lets just ask a landfill in New Mexico.

Edit:
Riks Retro Scale
10 - Rare Ltd. (1994-2001)
9 - Nintendo
8 - Amazing
7 - Quality Game
6 - Not Bad
5 - Generic Standard
4 - Not Good
3 - Terribad
2 - Kinect (Rare Ltd. Now)
1 - ET Atari 2600

Re: Scratch Gamer Magazine-Now Hiring

What about an article on the rumors about the polybius arcade cabinet? I could gather information on it. So far I know that it is said to be a space shooter, maze or puzzle game. The game was meant to cause Nightmares, Epilepsey, Amnesia and some other symptom i forget. It seems a bit risky so ill wait for stor to green light it.

None of these games have been reviewed yet, and I completly agree with your Retro scale, Rare SUCK these days. But I think Rare now should of been 3rd and LJN 2nd!

EDIT: I think Golden Axe, SMW2 and Superman 64 are the ones you should do first.

Do it, sounds cool. Can't say this news has reached me yet, and I keep in good contact with the retro game world.

Re: Scratch Gamer Magazine-Now Hiring

WARNING - THIS ARTICLE MAY BE SOMEWHAT CREEPY TO SOME

The Polybius Rumour

Polybius is a mysterious arcade game released in 1981 that seemingly vanished after inspection by the Men in Black, A group that dresses in black suits claiming to be government agents who make UFO witnesses keep quiet about what they have seen while sometimes claiming to be aliens themselves.

Polybius was a very addictive game that played like tempest, though would cause seizures towards people with epilepsey. Some report that it was actually a maze or puzzle game, though with little evidence, it can't be confirmed. While seizures were just one of the symptoms of "Polybius Fever", there were many more severe symptoms reported, such as Night terrors, Amnesia, Insomnia and even suicidal tendancies.

The game has been remade for PC, matching the specifications of the legend. It would be wise to avoid it, but if you are bold enough, have a look for it, though keep in mind that it may be dangerous to epileptics.

Re: Scratch Gamer Magazine-Now Hiring

My review for next week (aVentures isnt speld wrong, the title is misspelt and meant to be aDVentures)

Superman: The New Aventures

SPOILER WARNING: CONTAINS ENDING!!

Superman: The New Aventures, better known as Superman 64, is an adventure game released in 1999 that was both developed and published by Titus Software for the Nintendo 64. The game is based on on the TV show "Superman: The Animated Series".

The plot of this game focuses on Superman, who has entered an interdimensional portal created by Lex Luthor. In this portal is a virtual Metropolis created also by Lex, with "Kryptonite fog" (Titus trying to hide the tiny render distance with fog) all around the city. He challenges Superman to fly through his maze of rings to save his friends. The control on this game is terrible and hard to use. The levels are repetetive and the game is choppy at some points.

The ending of this game is quite awful. You rescue your friends from the virtual world, though Lex is still in the real world. That is all the game tells you, it doesn't even say Superman escapes. That is ending on the hardest difficulty, on an easy difficulty, the game just laughs in your face and says your friends arent saved and lex is in both worlds. Don't bother with this game. 2/10

EDIT:
Im going away for a week, though ill have another rumour story up if you want one stor
