Guitar Hero World Hero and COD5 party..Hollywood

Hey all, 

Well last night j and I went to the BPM Magazine & SA Studios ACTIVISION SHOWCASE for XBOX 360 featuring Call of Duty 5 and Guitar Hero World Tour.  This VIP event featured DJ sets by DEVLIN & DARKO (SPANK ROCK DJS), STRETCH ARMSTRONG and DJ HIERin Hollywood @ a club called "central" hollywood. 

J actually arrived early..and I called him to hear him tell me "NO ONE'S HERE"..I said.."dude...just stand next to the door..and when there's a line..get in it.."

When I arrive 20 min later..there's a line down the block...lol

J is @ the front..hehehe..as well as I knew the door girl...NICE..

so...we are the first in the club..walk in to see a huge xbox 360 logo on the wall in front of 4 HUGE flat screen TV's..they were setting up Call of Duty 5 World at war..

we go upstairs, and there's 3 setups of Guitar Hero world tour...

we setup on the last one...and proceed to rock out until about 12...lol, we had some Activision employees who were rocking expert on alot of the songs (which I have to say is a VERY impressive song list....

I remember Playing Guitar and singing the "joker" (some people call me the space cowboy!)

We also did, Hotel California, Dammit, Crazy train, Schism, Pretty Vacant (I sang), eye of the tiger...

and a slew more..

we have more pics on my lovely gf's camera..which we'll be uploading around 4-5pm :-)

The game was alot of fun, alot of new features included, one that stuck out for me was the ability to pause, which difficulty, and quickly restart..while available in rock band...is a bit friendlier..

there...is no "no fail mode" but there is a beginner mode which allows you to just strum @ the very least and you won't fail out..but above all, we're interested..

Mari, anothony all tried out the drums with mixed reviews... James enjoyed them, mari think's she's too used to rock band...basically it's 5 pads to hit plus a foot pedal 

It's a GREAT game...was definately something to reckon with Rockband...personally..I think I'll stick with rock band 1-2.. for the time being..but perhaps the rumored metallica GH game could sway me if I could play it with a full band...

since I know J will be buying this and I'll just rock out on his in the meantime..lol

Then there was COD5...

so..since I didn't get a hands on..I'm not gonna official pass yet...but

I didn't see all that much that intrigued me to STOP playing cod4....well I might be wrong..as I didn't get to actually play this one..but I sat behind and watched alot of people playing...

In regards to the game...DON'T get me wrong...the COD's I think are the top of the war simulation shooters..and I only shrug this one off because..I dug MODERN combat so much..so again..it's just a preference...those of you looking forward to recreatign a WW2 head to dead match..you are IN LUCK..

Think I saw some celebrities there...but I dunno who...so...it was fun..thx activision!

but...I will post up more pics soon..

Update- 

Here's a launch party @ best buy for the game-
