Guitar Hero: Modern Hits

 
Sick of playing air guitar to your favorite new songs? Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits for Nintendo DS gives you the chance to rock out to the hottest new songs from all your favorite bands. The game includes tracks from Fall Out Boy, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Franz Ferdinand, Evanescence, AFI, Weezer, Yellowcard and more!

Like other Guitar Hero games, there are four difficulty levels, so you can work your way up to expert without getting too frustrated. And even without the fake guitar controller from the full-size game, it still feels pretty authentic with a pick stylus and grip attachment in your hands.
 
 
Play by yourself or with a friend, teaming together or battling it out in a duel. And while you’re up for the challenge, devoted fans can challenge you to play certain percentages of songs with the brand new “Fan Request” system. Embrace your rockstar alter ego by signing autographs, or screaming into the mic on the screen to get the crowd going, too.

There’s also a great new female character named Calista Valenz to help even out the number of guitar heroines to guitar heroes. Calista’s not your style? You can still customize your own character. The graphics and sound are great and if you can power through a few hand cramps, you can rock all the way to the top to become the ultimate superstar!

A must-have for all music lovers, the game is out in stores now.

WIN BIG! Wanna get your paws on this hot new game? We’re giving away the complete game/grip bundle to FOUR lucky ladies. CLICK HERE for your chance to win. Contest ends JULY 6.

Up: The Video Game

 
Already caught the box office hit? Well now you can go up, up and away playing the video game for Wii.

Carl Fredricksen and his wife always wanted to move to Paradise Falls. It never happened as planned, so Carl decides to take measures into his own hands by flying his house there. What he didn’t expect was a travel companion: Russell, a young wilderness explorer, that’s trying to earn his “Assisting the Elderly” Badge.


Carl and Russell set out on their journey through Paradise Falls, running into all kinds of obstacles as they must work together to take the house to Carl’s special spot at the peak of the falls. During their adventure they make friends with a talking dog (Dug) and a bird (Kevin), who help them along the way.

This game is for 1-2 players, but is much more fun with two. So go ahead and invite your BFF over and work together to beat this game! Then come back and let us know your thoughts.

Up is available anywhere games are sold.
