Edward and I decided to do our 20% Time on playing and reviewing new (or in the past year releases) video games for Xbox 360. To start off the review of the games, we read reviews from Game Informer Magazine. After the reading of the reviews, we play the desired video game. Edward and I, like other gamers, will post our own review of the games on their websites or retail stores like Wal-Mart, Target, and Best Buy.

For out first part of 20% Time, we played Rock Band 3. We decided to pick this game because it is a great game for all ages and has new songs on it. It also has amazing graphics and features: multi-vocals, keyboard, and new drums. Edward and I started playing the World Tour; however, it starts off as Road Challenges, which is a cool way to show how you need to progress your way through setlists. With the amount of time in school, we couldn't finish the Tour. We play Rock Band all the time at Edward's house (with Josiah, Isaac, Tom, and many others), and I know we have beaten the World Tour before. I would repeat this project because it is a great game and it is really fun to play modern and older well-known songs with friends. If I did this again, I would probably do the Tour with the keyboard because I haven't really played enough songs to see how the keyboard is.
