It would be easy to pass over Rock Band 3 as just another addition to the tried and true musical party game genre.  And for many, this is all it will be.  Sadly to this reviewer it doesn’t amount to much more than a brand new collection of songs and some game-play tweaks.  However if you’ve got an additional $200 to lay down on the Rock Band 3 keyboard, you’ve got a whole new gaming experience.

My wife likes to tell me that there is a 13 year old boy inside every man.  Even more so if that man is a gamer.  She’s probably right.  It would explain why I love Need for Speed Hot Pursuit so damn much.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit is the re-boot of the Need for Speed franchise that of recent years became a little bogged down in the details.  EA gave the job of bringing life back to Need For Speed to Burnout: Paradise developer Criterion Games.

Criterion stripped it back to the basics, fast cars, smooth roads, cops and slow motion crashes.  It’s a 13 year old boy’s dream racing game. 

Set in the mystical Seacrest County – a location that has everything, from coastal roads, to snowy peaks, the miles of highway are liberally littered with a plethora of shortcuts and surprisingly devoid of too much traffic.  Add to this the fact that all the racers seem to drive exotic sports cars rather than Jap imports, and the cops likewise, and you have the beginnings of an awesome game.

But wait, there’s more.

Ah, cricket.  The gentleman’s game.  The long, drawn out game where you mostly get to stand around.  It’s not a sport that I’m particularly fond of.

I have however played Codemasters’ previous cricket game, so I have a little experience with the genre, at least in the gaming sense.  Not that I can remember too much, except it was overly complicated and I couldn’t hit the damn ball.

Fortunately, along with crisper graphics, Codies have designed a batting system that actually makes sense to a complete idiot like me (in the cricketing sense).
