A PS3

After you spent $400 on a PS3 console a few weeks later it causes problems. Try not to get to upset there are some things you can do to fix it. If you're not electronically gifted, stay away from it. Send it back to Sony for $150. But if not here are a few tricks to repair ps3.

Step one

When you go to turn on your game and you get the blinking red light there is a definite issue. First before you panic, try to turn the game off for one minute or two and then turn it back on. Lots of the time if you catch it early it could be fixed by this simple step.

Secondly

Be careful as not to damage anything but try and take out the hard drive. Leave it out for at least an hour. This will let it cool down. Alright now that it's been an hour go ahead and place the hard drive back in its place.

It's not reading the discs.

When you are unable to read the disc it is most likely the laser. The laser is kind of hard to clean so again be very careful. Remove a couple of screws under the outer shell. Their may be a couple of layers to remove. The laser should be visible do not touch it. Gently wipe it clean with a Q-tip. Pour just a little alcohol on the Q-tip, try not to soak it.

There is no power to it.

Brutal Legend – Heavy Metal Bliss

Filed under Computers

Electronic Arts has upped their game over the past several years, breaking out of their proverbial professional sports franchise cage and publishing a series of high profile, underrated material that has only served to strengthen their market share. Branching out into "BIG"--their arcade sports titles--and now Black Box (where the skateboard powerhouse Skate franchise is housed), their expansion teams have identified EA as a definitive innovator in the video game medium.

Spreading this formula into their "BIG" line (like NFL and FIFA street), they showed that they could do just as much damage with arcade style action/sports combinations; and the more recent Black Box has further improved the dynamic of the "Skate" series and it's revolutionary analog control. Hears what is the upcoming game called brutal legend.

Teaming up with "Psychonauts" brilliant creator Tim Schafer--formerly of LucasArts--on his second adventure with his growing company Double Fine, EA has again shifted the thinking of the gaming public by combining action-RPG elements with the one-of-a-kind Jack Black against a heavy-metal-and-Nordic-mythology-inspired universe. This is Brutal Legend.

Known for its wailing guitars and distortion effects, heavy metal music carries a dark tone in its entire catalog. Likewise, a metal show is typically more of a collective experience than a staged performance of capable musicians.

Combining the raucous energy of a heavy metal show, a hot rod demolition derby, and a classic dungeon crawler, Double Fine has tweaked some fresh ideas and thrown them into the mix, providing a once-of-a-kind gaming experience.

Brutal Legend opens backstage before a massive live concert, where Eddie Riggs--the greatest roadie in the history of 'Rock' is ready to send his band of misfit emo-rap-metal-bangers onto the stage. He reminisces of a time where the music was better... The late 70's.

He wakes to find himself in a strange, mystical land and must quickly find a weapon to battle some skeletal bad guys. After slashing them with a huge axe, he also attacks with his stringed Axe, "Clementine"--in all her distortion pedaled glory.

If you are familiar with Double Fine's action comics or free online games, this sense of humor shouldn't surprise you. Of course, casting Jack Black to deliver your epic lines is pretty genius too. Half of the dynamic musical comedy duo, Tenacious D, Black is well known for his quirky, high-energy personae, which translates fluidly into the ogre-sized roadie who must save the land from evil. It is a deep, introspective examination of a world without 'Rock', and what one lowly roadie must do to restore it, and ultimately peace in all the land.

Brutal Legend is a great game, but it is probably not for everyone. Rent Brutal Legend to see how you like it before you buy this game. Find more game reviews and video game rental service information at GameRentalCentral.
