Review: Country Dance 2

About the Game:

Country Dance 2 is the sequel to America’s favorite country dance video game that lets you dance and sing along to your favorite songs from country’s biggest artists.


Country Dance 2 is easy to jump in and play; just pick up the Wii Remote and replicate the onscreen dance moves to start earning points with hot country routines. Plus, Country Dance 2 now supports up to four players at once for a whole new level of multiplayer fun including the all new duet dancing option that features unique choreography for each player during the same song. Whether you’re cutting the rug on your own, line dancing side-by-side with your partner, or taking on friends and family in a dancing duel, Country Dance 2 will transform your living room into an energetic dance floor with mega hits from Amercia’s best-selling country artists.


Country Dance 2 features over 30 of today’s hottest country tracks from chart-topping artists like George Strait, Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Easton Corbin, Billy Currington, Eric Church, Little Big Town, Montgomery Gentry, and many, many more. Building upon the simple gameplay loved by fans of Country Dance, Country Dance 2 amplifies the fun with an all new sing-a-long feature, duet dancing, a new calorie-counting exercise mode and more!





My Thoughts:

One of my favorite ways to exercise is by dancing.  It's fun and effective.  Plus, I have found that it always puts me in a good mood.  When I was young, I would get up on the coffee table and dance to all my favorite songs.  Yes, my dance fever started very early on.  I love being able to perfect my dance skills in the privacy of my own home.  Country Dance 2 is a great way to get in shape by yourself or with friends.  There are four different game modes which allow you to change things up.  Four people can play at one time with the new duet dancing option.  This allows each player to learn their own choreography during the same song.  When you're ready for some uninterrupted fun, pop in Country Dance 2 and get ready to party!

#HGG Review & #Rafflecopter #Giveaway: Sing4: The Hits Edition with Microphone

About the game:

Sing4: The Hits Edition is a unique singing game unlike any other. This is the first game with high-precision lyrics scoring that detects humming vs. singing, and includes cool effects like pitch correction to enhance your voice with. Sing4is sure to be a fun game for the whole family, allowing up to 4 players to sing simultaneously. There are 40 popular original artist's tracks and music videos to rock out to, and even more songs available for download. You can also record and replay your performance during several Game Modes including Solo, Co-op, Duet and Battle, where you go head to head against your friends. So grab a mic, your friends, and get ready for a completely new and innovative karaoke experience with Sing4!



I love to sing and dance but prefer to do it when I am alone.  I don't want to make everyone jealous of my voice and moves (haha).  I played Sing4 solo and had a great time!  What makes this game different from other singing games is that it has pitch correction which is awesome.  I got in touch with my inner celebrity and it was a huge stress reliever.  Sing4 is user-friendly and I will warn you, addicting.  I'm already thinking about songs I want to download and sing later on.  It's rated T and is approved for teens by ESRB.  This would be the perfect way to spend some quality time with your teen.  Plus, it's perfect for adult game nights.  


Features:

  • High-precision lyrics: Scoring that detects humming vs. singing.


  • Voice effects: This fun addition allows you to alter your voice and change the way it sounds! Choose from Echo, Reverb, Helium, Ogre, and Wobble. Use the effects during a song or experiment with them in the replay.


  • Pitch Correction: Automatically "tune" your voice! This effect adjusts the players' voice to match the pitch and vocals of the song, but the timing is still left to the player. Pitch correction can be used independently, or in conjunction with any other voice effect.


  • 4 different game modes:

    Solo: Do your best to get the song right! You are scored based on your pitch and timing. Adjust the difficulty level so that anyone from novices to pros can sing like a star!

    Duet: This mode breaks up songs for 2 people to sing together! Pay attention to which part is yours. The player with the highest score wins.

    Battle: Up to 4 players can sing together in this mode! Each player sings the same parts and the player with the highest score wins.

    Cooperation: Get help from your friends in this mode. Some parts you might be better at than your friends and vice versa, so your scores are combined in this mode!


  • Includes songs and videos from 40 chart-topping artists:
    Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Usher featuring will.i.am, Carrie Underwood, Owl City, Taio Cruz, Lionel Richie, Ke$ha, Nickelback, Queen, Sara Bareilles, Orianthi, Blondie, Rihanna featuring Jay -Z, The Doors, The B52s, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Leona Lewis, Train, Jason Derülo, Demi Lovato, The Script, Simple Minds, David Guetta & Kelly Rowland, Fergie, Gloria Gaynor, Michael Bublé, La Roux, The Human League, Alicia Keys, Rick Astley, Kelly Clarkson, Outkast, Hinder, Timbaland featuring OneRepublic, Sister Sledge, Shinedown, and Natasha Bedingfield.

Review: DJ Hero 2 Turntable Bundle



BRING THE PARTY HOME WITH TWO TURNTABLES AND A MICROPHONE
The follow up to the award-winning #1 new videogame IP of 2009, DJ Hero® 2 will transform living rooms into nightclubs all over again with an entirely new music-gaming experience. Friends & families can become mix masters and singing sensations to experience hit music like they've never heard it before. With a host of new DJ and vocal multiplayer modes, including innovative DJ Battles, and 80+ mixes featuring the biggest dance, pop and hip-hop hits, DJ Hero 2 delivers the new standard in music gaming.


My husband has been addicted to Guitar Hero since before we got together.  When he found out that there was going to be a DJ Hero, he wanted to try it right away.  We weren't able to get it when it first came out but I did receive the DJ Hero 2 Turntable Bundle for PS3 to review recently.  I believe I was called "the best wife in the world" when he came home from work and I told him to look inside of a brown box where DJ Hero was "hiding".  He started playing it and said that it was fun but it wasn't really his kind of music.  I, on the other hand, was sitting on the couch moving to the beat. The day after we got it, he called me from work and asked what I was doing and my response was "what do you think?" I am addicted!  If you like dance music and video games, you have to play DJ Hero 2.

Review: Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock Guitar Bundle



Join with friends on an epic rock journey to save rock n’ roll. Featuring an impressive 90+ track set list, a totally redesigned rock-inspired guitar controller and a host of all-new gameplay features, living room legends and their friends can strum, drum and wail in the most immersive music videogame experience to date.



I surprised my hubby with one of the new, slim PS3's for Christmas and needless to say, he was ecstatic! When I gave him the Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock Guitar Bundle, he literally jumped for joy.  He's been a Guitar Hero fan since before we started dating and I remember standing in line one year to pick up the game at midnight.  It felt great to be able to make his day like that.  I enjoy the Guitar Hero games but not nearly as much as he does.  His favorite part of Warriors of Rock is the quest.  Watching the characters transform is amazing!  The song choices in this game are perfect.  I was really excited to play these songs:


Aerosmith - "Cryin'"
Def Leppard - "Pour Some Sugar On Me"
Drowning Pool - "Bodies"
Flyleaf - "Again"
Linkin Park - "Bleed It Out"
Muse - "Uprising"
Nickelback - "How You Remind Me"
R.E.M. - "Losing My Religion"

This is my favorite Guitar Hero game so far!  I think the hubby would agree. 



  • Bundle includes both the game and the new completely redesigned rock-inspired Guitar controller
  • Includes over 90 tracks in a rock-centric set list featuring Queen, Black Sabbath, KISS and many more, the biggest on-disc selection of rock music ever in a Guitar Hero game
  • In all-new Quest Mode, embark on an epic rock journey as eight Guitar Hero characters transform into rock warriors who must join together to use their unique, game-changing powers to help the Demi-God of Rock save rock n' roll.
  • Use any two unlockable warrior powers in the new Quickplay feature to earn high scores, new unlockables and rewards in 13 totally unique gameplay challenges.
  • Play any combination of guitar, bass, drums and vocals in fan-favorite modes like jump-in/jump-out Party Play, various competitive modes and more for a complete interactive rock experience
