Posted by inpheaux on August 3rd, 2007 at 9:51 pmAnd it'll be a Master Track, naturally.
Unfortunately, this is another one of those news items where everything you need to know is going to be in the post slug. Activision just sorta tossed it in as part of a corporate conference call. There just isn't much else to say.

PS3 $100 Price Drop Confirmed, Desperate

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?
