    Viacom Promised Big Money to Beatles' Rights Holders

    Hmm.. I don't think it'd be the last.. Harmonix isn't likely to just fold as a company, and music games are their thing. Plus the RB Pearl Jam / Green Day announcements. Though I dunno if I ever need another Rock Band / Guitar Hero game since Rock band 2 still awesome and the songlist just...

    1.5 Million Bought Dead Space, 3 Million Played It

    Dead Space was fantastic, in my opinion. The thing is that a game like Dead Space, where its a great single player experience with little to no reason to re-experience and can be finished in a weekend or two, is a perfect rental or buy-then-sell used game. It is a shame that they can't see...

    EA Announces More Cuts And Closures

    The bottom line is that watching a game company that employs as many people as EA lose 10% of their workforce is scary and upsetting. I doubt anybody in the game industry is happy that this is happening to EA -- more competition, more games in the market, more jobs. I can't imagine Activision...

    Street Fighter II HD Sales Are Downright Fierce

    "That's like saying Boxer has better kicks than Chun-Li, it just ain't true...HD Remix was a labor of love for everyone involved." Have I been out of SF2 long enough for a new character named 'Boxer', or does this rep, who's probably never played much of the game mean Balrog?

    Axl Rose Gets In The Ring With Activision

    meh.. Axl is a bit flaky himself. He seems to clearly prefer Rock Band over GH (or prefer the money that Rock Band is giving him vs. the money Guitar Hero is not;)). I'm surprised this is only coming up now... GH3 was over a year ago :|.

    Did New Adventure Game Swipe Oblivion Assets?

    Maybe it'll end up being a collector's item.. before it gets pulled from the shelves, that is :).

    Guitar Hero 4 Adds Drums, Create-a-Song

    This is amazing. I mean, I can't believe they're not going to have a copyright headache on their shoulders, but its great for the users. I've gone from a huge GH fan to a huger Rock Band fan, and was not even considering GH games anymore.. but this sounds really really good. Why they feel...

    Fifteen Guitar Hero: On Tour Tracks Revealed

    Jeez.. I would be embarrassed to be caught on the bus with my DS playing some of these songs. Really geared towards the American Idol crowd on this one. I was excited to see what songs they'd come up with here... hopefully, the rest will be better.

    Lost Crown Game Ships to Retail

    Did I miss this being a big upcoming release? Lots of games ship week over week... how come the news feed is singling out this one? Not slagging the game (adventure/horror is right up my alley)... just curious what makes it special :|. meh.. maybe the odd game release is news enough...

    Activision Announces Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

    Jeez. Seriously? Is this for real? A 4th guitar hero game (including that 80's piece of trash) in 2.5 years ??? :|. Anybody else start thinking that Activision is looking more like EA than EA is looking like EA these days? I mean, come on. Don't shove this down our throats. Think of what...
