Storm shocks videogame rockers :
During a thunderstorm Thursday, a lightning strike knocked two Thistle Lane residents to the floor while they were playing the videogame "Guitar Hero II" for PlayStation 2.
Ben and Chris Bergin, ages 19 and 14, respectively, were jamming to "Message in a Bottle" by the Police on their guitar controllers when a bolt of lighting touched down near the house, and the charge found its way into the house's wiring.
"I actually looked over at my brother because I thought he hit me in the chest with something," Chris Bergin said.
The boys were not injured in the incident, though both controllers are completely fried.
This month's feature takes a look back at the time when zero string guitars saw a boom in popularity.
Jerry from BagoGames says, "It turns out that 2007 was an amazing year for gamers, not only did many franchises begin, some started to get their footing."
It's crazy to think that Uncharted came out so long ago. I replayed the series last year as part of the Nathan Drake Collection, and the game felt brand new again, even after all these years. Such an enduring franchise.
I agree, I played all of them, included the Vita game last year just for funsies and they are amazing!
I could only pick 7 ;) They were hard to pick and MW was barely edged out by Halo 3.
Sirus Gaming's Editor-in-Chief:
"The Playstation 2 system is still considered to be the number 1 best-selling console in the market with 155 million units sold, beating the Nintendo DS to second place with only 154.01 million units sold. With Sony’s legacy console topping the charts, new comers in the gaming community will never overlook what Playstation 2 is and its success.
Now, we go through my list of my personal Top 5 PS2 Games of All-Time"
Nice choices! I would add Final Fantasy X because I am a big fan of the game and the RPG.
If had it as Top 10, FFX is there. :D As well as other good titles like Kingdom Hearts, ICO, and Star Wars Battlefront II. :)
