MTV Games and Harmonix have published a list of 16 songs that we’ll be covering in Rock Band for the Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. They will probably add more songs to the soundtrack list but so far it looks pretty good! (more…)

It’s already the third game of the serie, but Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock still manages to impress us! We just can’t get enough of the rockmusic and pushing those fretbuttons on the guitar controller.

This trailer confirms it all, Slash from Guns ‘N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver will be in the new Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock so we’ll see some songs from Guns ‘N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver for sure. Oh and Guitar Hero 3 is still looking as hot as it did yesterday.

All guitars bundled with Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock will be customisable with official Gibson faceplates thanks to a deal Activision made with the famous guitarconstructor. In the game there will be about 20 Gibson guitars. We already knew that the PlayStation 2 guitar is based on the Kramer model of Gibson, the Wii-, Xbox 360- and PS3-versions are based on the Gibson Les Paul.

Strauss Zelnick, the president of Take-Two, said in an interview that Manhunt 2 is still going to come out.They weren’t too happy with the Adult Only-Rating but they’re not going to give up and the game will still appear on Sony’s PSP, PS2 and the Nintendo Wii. Take Two is probably working on the game to make it seem less offending than it was before. Let’s hope that the next rating will be a success because it’s costing them tons of money, but the publicity is off course positive for them.

We’re determined to bring Manhunt 2 to the consumers for which it was intended, and to do so in a responsible fashion. We don’t see ourselves in the AO business. But if we find ourselves in the AO business, it would be because we have a title that we consider art and entertainment, that we consider is appropriately rated at AO, that we’d like to bring to market, and that I and Ben are prepared to stand behind

We just got a press release in from Oxygen Interactive with the announcement of a PDC World Championship Darts sequel for Nintendo’s Wii, Sony’s PlayStation 2 and PC. From those three platforms the Wii-version will be the coolest one because you’ll be using the WiiRemote to throw your darts. The game will also use the WiiRemote for playing the darts partygames. The game is scheduled for Christmas 2007 and is the sequel on PDC World Championship Darts. Check out the press release after the break. (more…)

Tecmo isn’t going to E3 this year but they’re not the only company that’s not happy with the rearrangements of the Electronic Entertainment Expo. Retailer GameStop will send less employees to E3 than last year and Best Buy isn’t going at all. GameCock Media Group is another publisher that’s not going to Santa Monica. GameCock even thinks that next year E3 will be no more.

Activision and Neversoft have revealed four versions of the Guitar Hero III controller. Activision managed to make a partnership with Gibson to make a Gibson guitar for the game. Today they showed of four versions of the guitars for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock including the Wii model. As you can see on the pics, you’ll be able to plug your WiiRemote in the guitar so it will be completely wireless. The PS2 guitar is black while the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 guitars are identical except for the Player Number lights on the PS3 version.
