Late in the day for this, I know, but I worked hard today, and just found this upon arriving home. As my loyal blog readers (that's you!) know, I like to point out days when some great games celebrate big birthdays. Hell, I was the one who told you all about Zelda's 20th birthday a few months ago! So, without further ado (that's a funny word, innit?), here's the list of games celebrating their birthdays on November 7th.

Gears of War (Xbox 360) - (1 year old) - Wow, can GoW really be a year old already?! We all know GoW pwns, nothing more need be said.

Guitar Hero 2 (PS2) - (1 year old) - Super rad. Great sequel. If you haven't played yet, it's got Freebird, nothing more need be said ;).

Guitar Hero (PS2) - (2 years old) - Building onto and improving the concept started with Guitar Freaks, Guitar Hero brough guitar playing fun to those who cannot play the real thing, and many who can.

Kameo: Elements of Power (Xbox 360) - (2 years old) - I only mention Kameo because it was a wayyyy overrated piece of ****. I reallllly hated Kameo, and wish it would just burn in hellfire for all eternity. High up on my worst games of all time list. Also released on the same day was.....

The Matrix: Path of Neo (PS2) - (2 years old) - Very underappreciated. Certainly had issues, and the graphics sucked, but it's an Atari game that focuses on that concept that Atari brought to us before anybody else in the gaming industry: fun. If you haven't had the chance, I really liked this game, and would recommend you give this one a try, especially since you can get it for dirt cheap now.

Shenmue (DC) - (7 years old) - Yes, that's right. THE Shenmue! On my top 10 greatest games of all time list, Shenmue was the highlight of the year 2000 for me. However, Frank Provo disagrees. Seriously, a 7.8?! Thank God he's no longer representing the site! The average user gave the game a 9.1! That guy was such a casual. Anyway, amazing game, if you haven't played it, crawl out from under your rock and get on it!!!

Nice list, eh? Not bad, Shenmue, GoW, and 2 Guitar Heroes, definitely worth mentioning. Well, until next time....
