You know, you’re right. Guitar Hero is where it’s at. Rock Band suxxorz. Oh, BTW, GH4 is adding drums and vocals. It was totally their idea. You know, it might make the game more fun, but you’ll have to wait until November to find out. Can you imagine how sweet it’s going to be to play teh drums? OMG.
BTW, EA is rumbling about releasing Rock Band 2 this fall (probably no new instruments). If that MF’ing game doesn’t play my DLC I am going to write a lot of mean posts about them. And they better fix the dumb ass online bands. I need those 2 things, or no sale.
You might remember Quartermann from back when you actually bought game magazines and cared about them. Anyway, in the new issue of EGM, the infamous rumor mongerer who is known for accuracy has this to say about teh n3w Ha10:
“After shipping last fall’s blockbusting Halo 3, revered developer Bungie stunned the world by announcing plans to liberate itself from Microsoft’s ownership. Allegedly, that path to freedom requires that they develop a few more titles for Microsoft, and we’ve heard rumblings that the first one will be a Halo spin-off due in late 2009. Our spies tell us to expect a third-person action/adventure shooter hybrid that takes place before the original Halo, chronicling early skirmishes between the ODST troops and the Covenant. This may or may not be the oft-mentioned “Peter Jackson Halo Project” — though apparently Microsoft is hiring a seperate team for that — but WETA is definitely involved in some capacity. Look for a massive reveal around the time Gears of War 2 ships this fall…”
Look, sweetheart. You’ve got quite a collection of games there. You’ve got enough games to stock a suburban Game Stop in the summer. And you never play ‘em, do ya? They’ve been sitting on the shelf like teamsters at the Ice-Capades. How extravagant you are, throwing away games like that. Some day they may be scarce. So here’s yer chance to make it right. Twice a week were gonna give your COD4 disc a vacation and throw in one of those orphaned games. Give it a little look at the sun, you know? Some “quality time” with the middle sibling.
So here’s what yer gonna do. Every Wednesday and Sunday evening about 7:30 eastern, or so, we’re gonna play a game you haven’t played in a while. This week, we’re startin with Gears of War, so oil yer chainsaws and rosin up yer torque bows. There’s some multiplayer waitin.
Now, we’re opening up nominations for next week. If you don’t like Gears, then whistle what you do like. You know how to whistle, don’t ya? Put yer lips together, get on the forum and post.
Now what about the next week? Who are you really, and what were you before? What did you do and what did you think, huh? We said no questions.
The good news: UT3 for the 360 is definitely coming out this summer, with five “exclusive” maps plus all the DLC for PS3 and PC will be free! That’s great news. The bad news: the graphics are questionable, and one of the reviews they highlight in the trailer comes from Maxim. Anyway, Martin begs you to buy this. Check the trailer (their bandwith sucks) and decide for yourself.
I loved Soul Calibur on Dreamcast, but haven’t gotten into the later releases for some reason. This trailer blew me away, though. A+ to the marketing department, guys. First of all, the graphics are insane. Second, the Vader/Yoda stuff looks awesome. I don’t know if the game is a buy, but the trailer is well worth a watch.
This guy is a VP of marketing, which makes him untrustworthy, but Peter Dille has posted over at the official PS blog that they are going to have a totally bad-ass 2008, including fixxors for gamez that are brokenz. The part you should care about:
“Community-related services available via PlayStation Network have also been a big focus for enhancements here in 2008. We know you want in-game access to XMB features and we’re committed to bringing that, among other community-related services this year. They will be designed to allow more community development and collaborative gameplay, as well as recognize and reward you for your gameplay accomplishments across a broad portfolio of PS3 games. Of course, 2008 will also see the launch of PlayStation Home, and we’ll have more announcements on the expanding community functions within PLAYSTATION Network in the near future, so stay tuned.”
How’s that for a long ass title? You want GTAIV stats, don’t you? Something akin to Bungie.net? Sometime today they are opening up the Social Club where you can get just that. All you need is your Gamertag. Somebody F5 this thing all day and LMK when it opens. Thanks.
