There is perhaps no family of video games on the planet right now that has gained such a massive following as the Guitar Hero franchise, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why. The hands on, intuitive nature of the Guitar controller gives someone who may not have what it takes to be a stellar musician the ability to sound as if they were the next Jimi Hendrix. With each release, fans grow hungry for more, which is why Activision and Neversoft are keeping the ball rolling with their installment of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.

Legend of Rock is available on all major platforms and is much more then just an updated game. Instead it is a new and original experience for all, even those that own other games in the Guitar Hero series. The premise of Guitar Hero is simple, for those that are new, You use a guitar controller and play along with the music by hitting the button that correspond to what is scrolling on the screen.

Along with the new tracks come a list of impressive rock and roll legends, such as Slash and Jimi Hendrix. Although the storyline is minimal, it is important to remember this is not a game that requires much of a story.

Music games are only as good as they sound, however, and Legends of Rock sounds great, especially if you have access to a surround sound system. Just be careful that your neighbors aren't around when you end up going in to "star power" mode, as this game really cranks when you want it to! Graphically, Legends of Rock isn't the most impressive showstopper available, but again, this game is not about graphics or storyline.

Wii Fit isn't really a game, it's an interactive program designed to help you move and track the time you do move. It leans into the fitness realm but it's not going to take the place of regular workouts and making good food choices. It will help you enjoy the time you work with it as it's an enjoyable way to move.

It starts out by using your Mii in the game and determines your size and weight. It then reflects its findings to your Mii. My Mii puffed up and got a lot chubbier than when I first designed it. It was a little depressing, but it was only supposed to help me visualize what I was trying to do. Then the game takes you through a series of exercises like walking and step aerobics and balancing and then you can unlock some fun little mini games like ski jumping and tight rope walking. These games all have something to do with balance and agility.

Most of the exercises are not hard, so that most people can participate, but that's not true of the yoga. It is fairly difficult for someone with no yoga background. As you choose different games it maintains a clock and memory of what you've done. As you participate in different exercises it opens more games and activities for you to try.

The board that comes with Wii Fit is used for many different things, it starts by doing the weight and balance thing. Then you use it different ways for different games, it's not to jump on but to stand and step. It measures your leaning in games like snowboarding, skiing and skateboarding, and if you're too far you'll crash.

There are some cool mini games on Wii Fit, but I think that my favorite is the ski jump, where you ski down a long ramp; keeping yourself centered on the board and then pushes off at the end of the ramp to get as much altitude and distance as possible. It is kind of addicting and I kept finding myself trying to break my own distance record. It actually has benefits because it replicates an exercise called a squat.

My kids, and myself have been a fan of the LEGO video games since the first LEGO Star Wars game out. Now with the new LEGO Batman game, it it clear that LEGO has made another excellent game.

The graphics, especially the vibrant, clear colors in high definition on the PS3 are gorgeous. They are probably the best looking of all the games in the series. The game play remains basically the same for this installment, and that's okay. There is no reason to make drastic changes to something that works.

It is a very accessible game to any level of gamer and it is not inappropriate at all. The cartoonish mischief and look of the characters makes it a title that the whole family can play. It is good for younger gamers who don't know anything about the Batman legend, and is fun for players that have been fans of the Caped Crusader for a long time.

There are numerous extras and hidden characters. Holding true to the LEGO game play, you have the ability to switch out characters making for a fun two player experience. All your classic Batman characters are in the game, and there are many not so well known characters from the comic books included.

It digs deep into the mythology of the franchise and as a fan I am thankful that they put so much effort into the development of the game. I know that his wont be the last in the Lego series; in fact I read just this weekend that they are developing a Rock Band game around the Lego characters. That is another good way to bring the younger gamers, who may not have had any interest in the music games, into the genre. These games aren't supposed to be world changing or particularly difficult, but they are supposed to be fun and that is why I like these games so much, because they are fun, for kids and adults alike.

50 Cent, one of the worlds most selling rappers will be releasing a new album, Before I Self Destruct. The new CD will be the rappers fourth studio album, and his last solo album according to his current contract with Interscope Records, besides completing a greatest hits CD.

Some of the songs that were released in January of 2009 include: Intro, Came to Win, Need Your Hate, Here for a Reason, All for You, Good to Be a Gangsta, Lonely at the Top, Dont Mess with 50, No Time to Lose, Trust in Me, Somebody Forgive Me and also another single was released in October of 2008. However "Shut your Bllodclot Mouth" did not make the cut.

Some of the major producers include, Dr. Dre and Eminem, Don Cannon, Red Spyda, Havoc, DJ Premier, Hi-Tek, Ty Fyffe, The Individuals, Tha Bizness, J.R. Rotem, Sha Money XL, Jake One, Scott Storch, Play-n-Skillz, and DJ Khalil. 50 Cent said that the album was named Self destruct because it was something that may happen when he was in an interview with MTV. When he was in an interview with DJ Semtex, said that this new album was one of the best in this time period and described it as aggressive.

Dr. Dre and Eminem are senior producers, but there are also others: Don Cannon, Red Spyda, Havoc, DJ Premier, Hi-Tek, Ty Fyffe, The Individuals, Tha Bizness, J.R. Rotem, Sha Money XL, Jake One, Scott Storch, Play-n-Skillz, and DJ Khalil. When he was interviewed by MTV, 50 Cent said that he chose the title because he thoughts is was actually a possible thing. He says the new album is darker and more aggressive than predicted, but that it will quite possibly the best CD right now.

J.R. Rotem stated that this album is different for 50 Cent because he is not in it for the money; he's just in it for his love of hip-hop. He also said that 50 Cent wants to set a trend and create a new sound that people will love and copy.

Sophmore and junior releases for most performers can sink their careers, but The Killers have not suffered that fate as they have another outstanding album. The group from Las Vegas impressed all the critics with their first album in 2005. "Hot Fuss" moved up the charts and cemented them as a very hot act. Both rock fans and dance fans were drawn to this album due to the unusual mix of techno and rock.

The Killers followed a very changed artistic path for the next release, "Sam's Town," which proved to show they weren't a one sound group and could use different styles. Even though it had a very different tone, it still was a Killers album. In the scheme of things this release reached the same height and score as "Hot Fuss," but was such a different sound that it may have reached a whole new audience who'd not heard the first one.

After a quick cash in on some b-sides with last years "Sawdust," which for other bands would have been a-side, the new album released to huge anticipation and fanfare. "Day and Age" sounded like a Killers album should, but completely different than the first two albums. With new instruments and a more diverse sound in the songs that made the final cut on the album, it is exactly what a fan would want, and so much more. The songs sound more mature, less poppy, but more radio friendly than most of the songs on the last album.

If you've seen them live, these songs seem like they've been there all along, they mesh well with their past tracks. This indicates a group who are reaching their peak as the music on each new album improves and that in a live show the songs all flow together. They are good song writers, displaying tunes and lyrics that have power and emotion but are also fun to listen to.

The first two albums and this one are on similar accomplishment levels, but the future holds a lot of promise because their very best music is still out there. Do not miss a live show with The Killers, they give an awesome performance.

Since the Hobbit movies by Peter Jackson won't be out for a while, it's a good time to watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy again. The theater is where most people saw it for the first time, then we all had to get the DVD's, and then of course we had to then have the extended directors edition.

My vulnerability for this trilogy has cost me three times in the past and it may happen again. Why would this happen? Because the trilogy will be released on Blu Ray and no one can ignore that. But this one is not the extended directors cut, so if you liked the version they showed at the movies and you don't want extra scenes go ahead and purchase this release. But if that's what you prefer you may be content just to keep your original DVD's from a few years ago.

Those of us who've bought three times may wait on this one and get the extended version on Blu Ray. They will release it and it'll probably get released during the opening date of the first Hobbit film. I'll invest in the trilogy then as the Blu Ray will be exceptional in looks and sound, plus seeing all the furry Hobbit feet will be very satisfying for us nerds who never get enough Lord of the Rings.

There was some extra content in the original releases but nothing like the extended versions. They had so much more content that fans of the books wanted to have on the movie. The fans had a picture in their heads from reading the books and they wanted to see if it translated the same as the directors version.

No one doubts that Peter Jackson in the most intense fan of the series, his care and talent showed in the wonderful adaptations he brought to the screen. I have no doubt that he will extend the same expertise to the Hobbit movies, but while we wait continue to watch the extended directors version you already have and wait on the Blu Ray version. If you must see it in HD, there's always the option of renting it from the store or borrowing it from a friend who didn't wait.

Along with the characters, all their signature moves have followed as well.

Due to the popularity of the game many sequels were made, as well as live action movies. Although the movies were not a huge success, the gaming fans enjoyed watching their favorite characters and moves come to life.

In Street Fighter 4, the graphics were updated, but kept looking like the original. Original characters look new again, and still retain their classic influence.
