I love this game and love the detail that has gone into the futuristic suits that can be unlocked in this game. Each one has different advantages and design benefits.

This is my fave video I have found showing them all - brilliantly designed game.

Just because I love Rick Ross and this song is an absolute banger!

#Boom :)

How many kids grew up in the 80's and were addicted to Mortal Kombat? I was on MK since the first one! Wasn't too keen on the departure after MK Trilogy, but it's been a brill franchise for the more grown up grewsome fighting gamer.

My favourite character has always been Noob Saibot. He's been through different guises but this level of shape shifting is sick! Think this is my new must have game next month. It's just sick and slick. Fantastic fighting gameplay is back.

The best Vampire Weekend song ever? They've only had 2 records out, but I am ADDICTED to the poppy calypso chiming piano clinking riffs these guys throw out for fun!

It's quite simple really - make music to make people smile. That's what these guys do, and it seriously delivers good vibes and feet tapping mantras all day long.

I love these guys and they kick ass when it comes to simple sounding pop music.

Indie pop for people who like their lamb chop tunes nice and lean.

Mmm... nice.

So Yeezy's album has leaked (as usual), but it's looking pretty hot in terms of content. I was always happy with the quality assurance of the G.O.O.D Friday offerings, and the album doesn't seem to disappoint at all.

There's some great stuff on there - most of it largely main stream colab's with all the usual suspects - from Pusha T, Jay-Z, Rihanna, John Legend and KiD CuDi; however there is some solid content and futuristic forward thinking hip-hop music which ensures we all kick back and do some serious reflecting on our lives as each track cuts in and out.

I love it, and it makes me believe in the warp and twisted mind of Kanye. He's still trying to get everyone to understand him; but I can't help feeling that he will never beat his true demon... himself?

This song, Blame Game, is a interesting take on relationships and the struggle we all go through to make one another happy - it's capped off with a great skit from Chris Rock.

It's not a case of a genius at work... but more like a smart guy misunderstood by the mundane word we live in.

Give him a break, and give it a listen.

I went to Alton Towers today to watch the Firework show - it was amazing and reminded me just how much of a kid I still am! :)

It was done on a BIG scale and had a laser show and great music to go with it too.

I love everything about them, and it got me thinking of some of my favourite songs.

Here's a few of them - all in the name of firework celebrations everywhere :) Enjoy

In my head and in my dreams, I am a Lady Killer! lol... But when you listen to Cee-Lo's new album, Lady Killer, that's exactly how you feel when bopping your feet with the rhythmic head nodding in sync.

This is a wonderful brightly lit record with lush pearly sounds and sweeping strings and blazing brass bands to fit. It's seriously retro and very much motowm in places too. Songs such as 'F$ck You', 'Cry Baby', 'Wildflower', 'I Want You' and 'Bright Lights Bigger City' epitomise this so well - and very freely too. You just can't have enough bass and brass on a record I reckon!

It's instantly infectious and hip struttingly chic - a very classy mix of the right shot of pop and a good large dose of quality genius-rum to go with.

I'm spinning it hard and would recommend it across all open minded music types.

Love the tune 'Wildflower' - but in all honesty, there all pretty well put together on here. That's what you come to expect from Cee-Lo, and that's exactly what you get peeps :)

Get it - Love it ;)

OK, this is my fave Weezy song - well, for now at least!?

The Carter 3 was perhaps one of the best hip hop albums to date. It's deep in it's variations of musical layers and Weezy explores a variety of issues and song genres to make this an accomplished album.

I could listen to this album all day - any song on it competes with the next, every tune lingers well after it's finished, and the imagery it creates is vividly memorable.

This song is the killer track for me. Very much a soulful suicidal song to haunt the more darker moments we all travel to... Whether more frequently than we would prefer to.

More amazing stuff from the original score of Tron Legacy by Daft Punk.

This is a great tune - very futuristic, with classic Daft Punk noise frequencies and fax machine style house music (if there is such a thing?!)

I cannot comprehend the vast array of noises and technical sound bites that feature on this tune - and it's still only one of a few tunes to be put out prior to release of the movie in the next couple of months.

I like the way Daft Punk actually feature briefly in the movie too (if you look closely towards the end of this video).

It's looking hot and I reckon it will be one of the biggest movies this year - and possibly one of the best selling movie soundtracks this year too.

The question is... would I be this much into a movie if it wasn't for the Daft Punk soundtrack?... who knows - either way, this tune is mind bogglingly good :)

I'm not entirely sure what Lil Wayne is up to these days musically, since the drop of I Am Not A Human Being - he's been putting out stuff on the web and I can't complain regarding the quality - it's all still there.

However, he's guest starred on the latest offering from Mack Maine who is going to blow up shortly I reckon. He's on the Young Money band wagon and he's got enough backing and people behind the scenes to ensure he is a successful product.

This tune is a nice weezy dirty hazy arrangement - with the classic YMCM big beat break and heavy pounding bass drop as regularly featured on a lot of the Young Money stuff.

Not entirely sure what their rapping about - seems to be about drugs, girls, music, and cars - your usual working week for these guys I guess. Nice to see Gudda Gudda throwing himself about these days too.

It's a hot tune and probably going to blow up real big soon too. I especially like the weird voice recorder electro stuff they do to the vocals - it makes for a better sounding and engaging listen to the growly snarling rapping.


Turned up loud - then the head nodding ensues :)

I've recently been listening to a fair bit of Kanye, but I checked these guys out and it's pretty amazing stuff. They can certainly rap and ad lib well, and their beats are pretty dope too.

Kanye and Lupe deliver some clever imaginative rhymes but all in all it's good decent hip hop music. Nothing spectacular, nothing ground breaking, just clever music really.

Check them out if you can - it's worth a spin folks :)

Here's some more Daft Punk stuff just to show how amazing these guys really are. I've haven't seen them live yet - but guess this is an amazing example of 'putting on a show'?!

This is insane - love the mixing, cutting, fading, screwing and general mish mash of all there songs and samples for the live crowd. This was truly amazing dance music at it's best.

You just have to love this - amazing :)

Like most geeks, I've been waiting for the Daft Punk Soundtrack to the Tron Legacy to hit the airwaves - but it's still pretty hush right now. There's a complete website dedicated to the soundtrack itself - as linked here

This is going to be absolutely large - not just the soundtrack itself, but the movie is looking fantastic. I've watched the trailers and listened to the scraps of Daft Punk tunes that will make it onto the soundtrack - and they are pretty sick!

There's nothing like future proof electro shock music by Daft Punk to get the blood flowing I can tell you. This tune is very infectious and pulsates with a deep growly bass line that shakes your spine if turned up even slightly loud.

I'm excited about the movie and the soundtrack to drop - not long left now; but the thought of some new Daft Punk is absolutely brilliant!

It's been ages since these guys were back on the scene, but I'm very happy that they came back in a big way.

Here's my fave trailer to the Tron Legacy for anyone who surprisingly hasn't already checked it out already :)

Is there anyone who loves hip hop music and DOESN'T LOVE the new N.E.R.D stuff off their new record Nothing?? I don't think so - this record is an absolute banger!!

I've been checking out the tunes and it's totally fresh and sizzling with flavour - lots of snarey drumming and clugging bass guitars give that feel of a moody bluesy band with a horizontal chillaxing vibe.

My current fave tunes are Party People, Hot n Fun, Nothing On You, Hypnotize U, Help Me and Life As A Fish.

These songs still have that smokey jazz feel - but there's a strong current of electro thrown in; this is best seen on the song Hypnotize U, as it features an almost airy and infectious arrangement from Daft Punk.

There's some great crazy 70' psychedelia thrown in there too; and this wide selection of what can only be described as 'world music', is more than welcome from a band who seemingly stuck to their guns with heavy dusty drums and deep frogging bass lines.

All in all, I reckon it's the best record yet - the most accessible, the most wide ranging, and the most uplifting too.

Well done boys - I'm sure many will agree with open arms too :)

P.S. Here's a live version of their big club tune on the record, Party People, which actually features T.I. I do like the way the line 'What I need what I need is that girl there' sounds very similar to the MJ classic 'Don't Stop'? Bit geeky that :)

Taylor Swift has to be my guilty pleasure - amongst my collection of hardcore hip hop, grime, rock n' roll and indie music; I've always got room for some Taylor!

I loved this VMA performance, it was very mature and grown up - yet her new LP has all sorts of tweenie stuff on it. It's still getting some rotation on my iPod - but she's one of those artists I'm embarrassed to say I listen to ;)

Well, here's an insight into my crazy mind - one man's guilt is another man's pleasure?? Lol

It's still a brilliant tune - from a brilliant record me thinks xo

I'm back on the Kanye West tip peeps!.. And his new diamond teeth ain't the only thing popping!

Here's another great track from his G.O.O.D Friday's giveaways. It's pretty good (as usual with his quality control) and got that whole crazy future psychedelic sh@t all over it again! Love the fact that Mos Def has finally got in on it along with Big Sean; as usual Lupe Fiasco is there carrying the ball safely too.

I'm always gonna say this, but Kanye is the sh@t and I love his stuff. Can't wait to hear his stuff from the Jay-Z duo album soon too.

Gotta give the boy props - his everywhere and still smashing up the scene :)

Got this guys album and it's seriously dope. 'Won't Go Quietly' isn't your typical dance album with a few singles on it; it's very deep in it's roots and there's a bit of everything on there to be honest. Some grime stuff, some dance stuff, some big beat stuff and general clubbie stuff too.

I rate Example because he's stepped out of the traditional 'this is what dance music should be' persona and just put out a great sounding record for all types to like.

You don't have to love dance music to love this record, there's plenty to keep you busy. My fave tracks are probably 'Won't go Quietly', 'Last One Standing' and 'Kickstarts' - but there's loads of top stuff on here to keep your head nodding and face smiling.

The big single off this record was 'Kickstarts' - it's a nice aide memoir to people rolling in and out of relationships when you think you've found 'it'... but then realise it's not 'it', and the new thing might be 'it', but you're just not sure what 'it' is anymore? lol

I love this song and I'm sure there's loads of people who do too.

... And the love kickstarts again :) lovely...

Nelly isn't back!... the boy never left as far as I was concerned!

This tune has that great 80's beat sample and those retro synths all over it. It does remind me of old skool Whitney Houston and Chaka Khan, but with some tight rapping from Nelly and Plies, and smooth sauce drizzled all over it by Chris Brown - it's a real winner this joint.

Think the tune itself is about stealing someones girl from right under their feet, but there's nothing consciously wrong with that when being discussed in a over produced rap song is there? lol

I like the feel of this song, it's more of a RnB track than an all out hip hop offering, but it fits real well in the demands of Nelly fans awaiting his real grown up comeback to the game.

It's definitely worth a spin and I'm sure there's quite a few Nelly fans who will be pleased with this return to form I reckon :)

50 Cent is back again and is spittin' all sorts of crazy sh$t with the boy YG. Loving the remix he's done here; it's got that old dusty crackly sound with a hugging bass line and ripply piano clinking throughout.

I've always loved 50's swagger and the way he mumbles and spits through his gritted teeth when he rhymes, but this tune is all nasty and crazy in a real bad way too!

Love listening to this song very loud in my headphones, it's got that laid back southern feel to it and a load of dirty attitude to spare. It's been a while since I last heard a hip hop song that made me think...'damn, this sh%ts good?', but I guess 50 doesn't really put his name on anything that he doesn't believe in,... or support, or approve, or simply can't make some serious money off!

So I'm feelin' this tune and loving the arrangement all over it... So what does 'toot it & boot it' actually mean again?? ;) xo

I'll say this... I've always loved, and will always love Kate Nash. Her music has always created great vibes with me, and it's the sort of music I like to listen to when I'm restless and itching with randomness. It's really thought provoking and her cockney rhyme-lullabies are great fun on the mind.

In terms of her music being labelled as leaning towards the female of the species is unfair; I certainly feel that anyone willing to listen to heartfelt emotions littered across a few tracks will love Kate Nash.

My fave song off 'My Best Friend Is You' is 'Paris'. It's a no holds barred brass band piano chugging affair of tippy toe mercurialism! It's a great bicycle ride of a song that evokes feelings of warm friendship and telling people all sorts of bonkers barminess!

It's ace, it's heart warming, and for all it's worth - it makes for great music for poker dot dress wearing girls to shake to ;)
