Blast Factor: This is a music mixer which will take a lot of people time to fully access. The studio mode is very comprehensive but can be a little bit of a turn off because of how complex it seems. The beats and loops available are very impressive for the most part, and can be expanded upon with sounds from your computer. The tutorial doesn't go in depth, so the mixer is not as simple to use as the casual user would like. The undertaking was ambition, and the end result is effective but not terribly efficient. It feels as if a touch screen based media player/system would be better suited for the creation of music, so I'll probably end up checking out Beaterator on the iTouch.
GameDynamo - "Rockstar Games announced a special holiday sale for Grand Theft Auto III: 10 Year Anniversary Edition, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, and Beaterator in the iTunes App Store. For Android smartphone / tablet users, only GTA III can be picked up, and only on select devices (click HERE for the complete list)."
Chris Buffa (Modojo): According to multiple sources, some highly anticipated Rockstar game comes out tomorrow. L.A. something or other, with lots of guns, dead bodies and dames (ask grandpa what those are).
No surprise that it's on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Rockstar usually needs powerful tech to achieve its massive goals, but the publisher also has a rich portable history across a variety of platforms. In fact, some of the company's biggest franchises have appeared on Game Boy Advance and the iPhone.
RockstarNetwork.net has posted a holiday guide that helps you find savings on many of Rockstar Games' titles. They have even posted Pre-Order links for L.A. Noire.
Rockstar fans rejoice! Now your family has no excuse for why they didn't get you that Rockstar game for a gift!
