The Future Is NowSo I wondered on over the The Future's (link removed) myspace page to see what they were up to and noticed that they released a CD called Is Now Sweet. You can purchase a digital copy from here [link removed, search iTunes]. It's only 10 bucks and it's an awesome CD.

I remember when these guys lived here and were called Stainless. I remember rocking at their shows. I know the lead singer, Adam and his brother, the bassist, Jordan. Now they're in Tennessee, and I can't go to their shows. Anyways, their awesome CD.

All the songs belong together. I was reading on their Myspace and they said that all the songs could be played live in that order. I defintely can tell. The music is very energetic and Adam's voice is awesome for the music. I can't pick a favorite song. Usually I can with CD's. I just can't. If I had to pick a top few songs, the songs "Outmigration," "White Lies," and "Rocket Science" seem to stand out to me, but like I said, all of the songs are awesome. For awhile I thought "Someone's Girl" and "Blasted Maltese" were the same song, because the transition is so smooth. I really like how they ended the album with "Rock 'n' Roll Shakes" because it is an energetic song, and is something a band would end with if they were playing live. A lot of bands like to end albums with slower songs, but "Rock 'n' Roll Shakes" fits great at the end.

The length of the album is about right. It's about 40 minutes long with 12 tracks. It leaves you wanting more, but it is satisfying to listen to. I highly recommend you at least listen to them on their myspace.

Alright, now that I have that out of the way, let's move on to Star Wars.

The last couple of weeks I've been watching the Star Wars series, because I've never watched them all before. I watched Ep. 1, 2, Clone Wars (2003 animated series), 3, 4, 5, and 6. All to get ready for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. I loved the demo.

I'm on the Third level of the game (the junk yard planet that I don't know the name of). The first two levels were fun. The controls worked then. I hate the third level. It just sucks. I'm getting ahead of myself though.

The game has several small glitches. Just small ones, that wouldn't effect the gameplay so much. The Euphoria engine sucks though. When I knock down an enemy, I don't want them to roll if they aren't dead yet, just because their was a very small incline. It's annoying. Then you accidently grap on to wrong things with your force grip. That really sucks when you're like "Grab this enemy and throw him at another enemy" and this happens: "You grab a piece of junk and throw it at nothing." I could have swarn I was locked onto the enemy though.

Minor thing, but in a middle of a boss fight, it'd be great if the boss was the focus and not a peice of junk when I was to stun the boss with lightning.

Anyways, I'll let you know my entire opinion after I beat the game. I'm hoping that after I get done with the third level, the game will get better, because a combination of the environment, and enemies on this planet just sucks.

Fracture demo was released for the PS3. I played it after some frustrations with Star Wars, and I have to say that I'm impressed. It's also published by Lucas Arts, but different developer.

The interesting part of Fracture is tht you can change the terrain, and it adds a fresh way to strategize. "Oh a machine gun is shooting me and there's no cover! What shall I do? I know! Raise the terrain with my terrain raiser gun!" Bam and it works. The regular weapons are fun to. You have your standard machine gun, rocket launcher, and grenades, but the grenades also do stuff to the terrain. There's a grenade that makes a stalegmite come up from the ground. You can also blow up buildings, and walls. Lots of desturctable environments. To say the least, the Fracture demo helped me releive some of the frutration that The Force Unleashed created.

Alright, That's all from me.

Bye.
