Game Informer Exclusive Bonanza Part 2: Rock Band
Posted by inpheaux on June 15th, 2007 at 1:39 amLips have been pretty tightly sealed over at Harmonix regarding Rock Band, the most incredibly complex music game in the history of music games, but they absolutely let loose in this interview.
First, lets get some track announcements out of the way. These are all original recordings, as it's expected most of the tracks in Rock [...]
Game Informer Exclusive Bonanza Part 1: Fallout 3
Posted by inpheaux on June 15th, 2007 at 12:12 amWe knew Game Informer's July issue would be ridiculous as soon as they flaunted the cover a week and a half ago. Fallout 3 and Rock Band exclusive first-looks? In the same issue? Seriously?
The issue is starting to show up in mailboxes around the country (and, of course, not in mine yet), so summaries of [...]
Assassin’s Creed: Worldwide Release this November
Posted by inpheaux on June 8th, 2007 at 1:40 pmWe had heard previously that after several delays, Ubisoft's latest third person epic Assassin's Creed would be finally dropping some time this fall. Today they narrowed the window significantly.
November 2007.
Not sure what day in November, but some time in there. And it'll be a "worldwide release" (which probably just means North America/Europe) and it'll be [...]

Guitar Hero III Good News and Bad News
Posted by inpheaux on May 30th, 2007 at 11:49 pmUpdate: 31 MAY 2007 @ 19:46:55
Looks like IGN just completely dropped the ball last night. They pulled the videos, and replaced the one of My Name is Jonas with a 100% run (to hide the fact that the full audio track was cutting out), and replaced the one of Slow Ride with a section that [...]
Guitar Hero III confirmed, headed to ALL PLATFORMS
Posted by inpheaux on May 23rd, 2007 at 1:22 pmAnd I mean ALL OF THEM. PS2. PS3. 360. Wii.
Today, Activision announced the forthcoming third (or fourth if you count 80's) installment of the Guitar Hero series. The formula is staying the same, but with a few key upgrades:

Platforms: Everything. PS2, PS3, [...]

The game is just being announced today, so details are rather sketchy at the moment, but here's [...]

Posted by inpheaux on February 22nd, 2007 at 2:48 pmHey! Remember Mercenaries? That game from a few years ago which no one understood why Lucasarts was publishing it?
