Play That Music

by Aggro Me on July 26, 2008

Even though I’m an avid gamer, I’ve never purchased a single game for my iPod.  For gaming when traveling, I go with my DS or PSP.  And since I walk to work, I just listen to podcasts and music on my iPod because trying to game while navigating the NYC streets sounds like a really bad idea.

I’ve also never heard of anything too special in the realm of games for the iPod.  I did consider Peggle, but since I have that on the PC I just couldn’t justify it.  Well, now that everyone else has moved on to the iPhone, I am officially an iPod gamer!  I may be behind the times, but I’m enjoying it.

And it’s all thanks to Song Summoner.  Well, Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes, to be precise.  After playing this game I am absolutely amazed at the lack of buzz and even reviews surrounding it.  This is a Square Enix strategy RPG playable on an iPod.  Did I mention it has some very creative features like making your song library part of the game?  Did I mention it’s only $4.99?

Tron at Comic-Con

by Aggro Me on July 26, 2008

One of the most exciting stories I’ve seen come out of Comic-Con 2008 in San Diego has to be the surprise showing of a 3 minute teaser for a sequel to Tron.  It appears they are calling it TR2N, which I’m not crazy about.  But I am crazy about the idea of a sequel to this classic film.

Ain’t It Cool News has in-depth discussion of the footage and a short update with info on the director.

Now, I’m sure you want to see this footage as much as I do.  But unfortunately there isn’t a clean version available.  Gizmodo has a bootleg video but it’s pretty awful.  I did find a “cleaned-up” version here, but it isn’t much better.  You may want to wait for an official release of the teaser rather then spoiling it with these.

Hopefully Disney does a great job with this film.  And I really hope I can get the time to attend Comic-Con next year!
