PC Gamers Can Start Trolling In Rock of Ages

Problem, medieval peasants? The PC version of Rock of Ages is coming with a special "Trollface" boulder skin to make up for its late release.

While Xbox 360 owners can enjoy Ace Team's utterly mental boulder-rolling, smash-a-thon Rock of Ages right this very moment, PC gamers have to wait until September 7th. This just won't do, I tell you. It won't.

How does Ace Team, the developer behind the compelling, but utterly mental Zeno Clash [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/6001-Review-Zeno-Clash], intend to make up for this terrible slight? Well, owners of the PC version of Rock of ages will be able to download the game's official soundtrack along with the game when its released, and, best of all, they get an exclusive boulder skin that sports the popular "Trollface" [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/trollface-coolface-problem#.TmEgcI6wXko] of internet meme fame.

Apparently the Rock of Ages community chose the skin, and I must admit, they chose well. The Trollface, or Coolface, as it's sometimes called, is an icon that celebrates the sheer malevolent cruelty internet denizens are capable of. I can't think of a better choice for a giant boulder tasked with crushing a person's house, family and livelihood for our snickering amusement.

My favorite trollface ever
In order to get promoted on xbox live you have to agree to a limited exclusivity agreement so your not allowed to rtelease the pc version on time anyway.

Cool move, the game isn't that cool tho...

Being able to download the soundtrack is cool. It does look like a fun game, I can wait a few more days without rushing outside to attempt this down our actual hill.

That face always creeped me the fuck out....Any one else find it weird that the PC community is getting the game late and a troll face to go with it? Meh..

That's microshaft's doing. "Release this a week early on the platform that we're taking a 60% cut from or we'll revoke your license for every goddamn API you or anyone in your family ever thought about". That's how they destroyed Alan Wake too.

Games are released later on different platforms all of the time... we don't usually get a trollface. I welcome the move, if only to hope that Red Dead Redemption gets similar treatment.

Problem, cowboy? Problem, horsey? Problem, moonshine? Problem, barwench? Problem, sheriff? Problem, sunset? Problem, cactus? If they don't do it, we'll mod it so it happens.
