The Gamer Ah, they’re back again. That Elite army that is swarming around my house led by Master Chief. I guess they figured out that I disposed of their hired assassin. Maybe Altair will have better luck next time. These hallucinations are getting a little too real. . . Life without my Xbox 360, is not pleasant, or should I say was not pleasant. Yes, I have just received my 360 back after suffering from the Red Ring. Finally the hallucinations have stopped, the withdrawals abandoned, and my gaming life back to normal. Ever since I have received my 360 I have been playing my new game, Grand Theft Auto IV, thanks to my friend Moo Moo. Send him thanks on Xbox Live for me. I’ve already done an article on the game, so all I’m going to say is... Play it. No, really! Stop reading this and go play. Before you go out and buy Grand Theft Auto IV, slackers, check out this press release from Activision and Questions from Gamers located below. Activision Unveils Guitar Hero World Tour - the Definitive Rock & Roll Music Videogaming ExperienceWhen the house lights go down this fall, a new generation of axe shredders, drummers and fearless frontmen will come together and rock with Activision, Inc.'s Guitar Hero World Tour. The latest installment from the #1 best-selling video game franchise of 2007, Guitar Hero World Tour will transform music gaming by marrying Guitar Hero's exhilarating guitar gameplay, with a cooperative band experience that combines the most advanced wireless instruments with revolutionary new online and offline gameplay modes. The game will feature a slick newly redesigned guitar, a genuine electronic drum kit and a microphone, as well as an innovative Music Studio music creator that lets players compose, record, edit and share their own rock and roll anthems, along with online Band Career and 8-player "Battle of the Bands." Delivering the largest on-disc set list in a music-rhythm game to-date, Guitar Hero World Tour is comprised entirely of master recordings from some of the greatest classic and modern rock bands of all-time including Van Halen, Linkin Park, The Eagles, Sublime and many more. Additionally, the game will offer significantly more localized downloadable music than ever before on all of the next-generation consoles. Budding rock stars will also be given creative license to fully customize everything from their characters' appearance and instruments to their band's logo and album covers. In addition to a newly designed more responsive guitar controller and microphone, Guitar Hero World Tour will deliver the most realistic drum experience ever in a video game with an authentic electronic drum kit. Featuring three drum pads, two raised cymbals and a bass kick pedal, the drum controller combines larger and quieter, velocity-sensitive drum heads with soft rubber construction to deliver authentic bounce back and is easy to set up, move, break down and store. "Guitar Hero has set the standard for music-based gaming and with Guitar Hero World Tour and the game's groundbreaking Music Studio, we are once again delivering unprecedented innovation that has the potential to revolutionize consumer generated music, much in the same way that video sharing hubs have driven user generated video," said Dusty Welch, Head of Publishing for RedOctane. "With the introduction of our advanced high-quality new wireless instruments, in-depth customization options and advanced online functionality, the game enables music fans and gamers globally to share in the most social and expressive music experience ever." Guitar Hero World Tour delivers more ways to play than ever before. Virtual musicians can live out their rock and roll fantasies by playing either a single instrument, or any combination of instruments, in addition to the full band experience. In addition to all of the online gameplay modes from Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero World Tour introduces Battle of the Bands mode which allows eight players to join online and challenge each other band-to-band to determine who is the best of the best. In the Band modes, up to four players can jam together, online or off, as they progress through the game, and in single-player Career Mode, players can jam on any of the instruments in branching venue progression enabling them to rock out in the order of their choice. The game's innovative new Music Studio lets players express their musical creativity by giving them access to a full compliment of tools to create digital music from scratch, utilizing all of the instruments, and then play their compositions in the game. Music creators will also be able to share their recordings with their friends online through GHTunes where other gamers can download their unique compositions and play them. Guitar Hero World Tour is being developed by Neversoft Entertainment for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system. The Wii version is being developed by Vicarious Visions. The PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system version is being developed by Budcat. The game is not yet rated by the ESRB. Highlights from the game include: new state of the art wireless instruments, innovative music studio lets players compose, record, edit, and share music, a bigger selection of on-disc music with all master tracks, a robust new eight-player "Battle of the Bands mode, and the first game in the Guitar Hero Franchise to allow in-game downloadable content on the Wii. I think everyone will be holding on to their picks’ waiting for this one to hit the shelves. Questions from GamersDear Gamer, What is your life like living without your Xbox 360? What all have you been able to find to keep the withdrawal symptoms away? Is there really life without Xbox 360? How long has it taken to have your Xbox 360 repaired and shipped back to you. Do you have your's back yet? If not I hope you get it back very soon. It's funny how we come to depend so much on the technology of today. We don't really notice how much we depend on it until something happens and we don't have it any more. A PlayStation 2 Player Well, Playstation 2 Player, everyone other than me said that the repairs went quicker than they thought, however they weren’t the ones having visions of a Big Daddy selling lemonade on the side of the road. Gamer, When will the PS3 start to get some games that I can’t play on Xbox or the Wii? I’m tired of having all the games that come out are for all or both systems. When will the PS3 owners have something that will make everyone else jealous? clone_of_cloud1999 You might get your wish this month when Metal Gear Solid 4 drops on June 12th. However, whining is not allowed when you just got Grand Theft Auto IV, so play that until June 12th. Dear Gamer, I want to hear more on music type games. Rock Band, Guitar Hero, and other like that. How about it? Bucky Hobbs From your lips to God's ears... See above
