Just an 80's kid still playing video games
The three Rock Band songs of the week are available now for your downloading pleasure on the Xbox 360 and Thursday for PS3 owners. Here are your choices.
The same as every week; three more songs coming your way for $1.99 each and the whole pack is $5.50. Here’s what you get.
Time for some new footage from game surrounded by lies, Killzone 2. This video comes straight from the SCEE Playstation Day which occurred just this week. The game looks good, but nothing like they claimed. I still pick it up though
Why should you put away the Grand Theft Auto IV disc for a few days to play the GRID demo on the PS3 and Xbox 360? Because if you get the fastest lap in Time Attack mode, you have the chance to win a real car; a Ford Mustang GT-R. The five people with the fastest times will be flown to San Francisco for the GRID launch event and once there, they have the chance to compete to win an eBay Motors-branded Ford Mustang GT-R.
You have to actually go to Codemasters’s official GRID community site and enter your times manually though, where they will be authenticated and ranked on the online leaderboard. You have until May 25th to get those times in though, so you better start racing now. I wish I had more time to devote to this because I want that Mustang.
Not a whole lot up there this week, but there are some good demos. You’ll most definitely want to try the Haze demo and The Bourne Conspiracy demo. Maybe you’ll even give the GRID demo a chance.
You can also pick up Rocketman: Axis of Evil for $9.99. For add-on content, you’ve got an expansion pack for PixelJunk Monsters and new tracks for Rock Band and Guitar Hero III. There’s a buttload of game videos too as well as some movie trailers, PS3 themes and wallpapers. For all the details, visit the Playstation Blog.
Sucky news, yes, but for good reason. Killzone 2 has been announced to be getting another delay, but this time it’s because Sony didn’t want the game to compete with another huge title coming out this year, Resistance 2. I’m actually fine with that, because I plan to purchase both games and I’d rather beat one of ’em first and then go out and buy the next one. And this will probably give the Killzone 2 team some more time to throw some shine on their game before launch. If they’ll even need it, since it’s been in the works for so damn long already.
Today at the Playstation Day keynote earlier this morning, Kaz Hirai from Sony made a disappointing announcement. Playstation Home has once again been delayed, this time to the end of the year. The reason being that he doesn’t want it to open to the public until he’s happy with it. Good idea probably. Something like that should launch completely ready so that it doesn’t just fall through the cracks and is forgotten.
Rock Band is no doubt one of the most popular games ever and everyone knows it. Even Mcdonalds. That’s why they’ve partnered with Harmonix to bring you discounted tracks starting today and ending June 2, which is almost a month. Two tracks will be released per week for a total of eight songs all together, and each one will cost 80 Microsoft Points. There is no word yet on if this includes the Playstation 3 version of the game, but we’ll find out soon enough. Here are the songs being offered.
