No GTA2 for Xbox LIVE.

There’s been some speculation circling the Internet that a count down clock found on the official [Grand Theft Auto 2] web site was counting down the time for GTA2 to be released for Xbox LIVE.

According to an [IGN article], IGN was able to confirm with Rockstar that this is not the case, and according to Rockstar it’s because the timer was used back in the 1900’s to count down to the release of GTA2 for the PS1.  The code used to create the timer is messed up and can’t take into account the 2000’s.

-=================================

Which I think is TOTAL BS.  Even back in the 1900’s people knew about the whole Y2K thing, beyond that.. a web site with just a timer on it for about 9 years? (release on the PS1 was Oct of 1999)
being THAT late in the year, one would think that the timer code should have been able to understand 2000.    Besides, the DC version was release May of 2000, and the GBC version in December of 2000.      On top of that, since this rumor was started the timer is still on the web site, and it’s counting down to a new date.  (May of 2008)  where as the PS1 was 10/99..

Sorry Rockstar, either you’re webmasters and designers are a bunch of idiots or there’s something more going on here. 

Guitar Hero: On Tour

Well as some of you might already know the Nintendo DS is to get their OWN version of the Guitar Hero game series. Actvision has confirmed 15 of the 25 songs to be included and let us know that the game WILL have a wireless co-op mode.

As you can see the fret board pops into the cartridge slot and you strum with the stylus.  I’m not sure this will be the most comfortable way to play the game, but time will tell.

as for the set list, here’s what you can look forward to:

Do What You Want – OK Go
All The Small Things – Blink 182
Spiderwebs – No Doubt
Are You Gona Be My Girl – Jet
We’re Not Gonna Take It – Twisted Sister
All Star – Smash Mouth
Breed – Nirvana
Jessie’s Girl – Rick Springfield
Hit Me With Your Best Shot – Pat Benatar
This Love” – Maroon 5
Heaven – Los Lonely Boys
Helicopter – Bloc Party
China Grove – The Doobie Brothers
Rock and Roll All Nite – KISS (cover by Line 6)
What I Want – Daughtry

 

at least it’s a better track list then the Guitar Hero: Aerosmith edition..=/

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, Trailer and mini-track list.

So what we have here is the new trailer from the game:

 

so far the confirmed track list is:

Aerosmith songs:
   Livin on the Edge
   Rag Doll
   Love in an Elevator
   Make it
   Uncle Salty
   Draw the Line
   Movin’ Out
   No Surprize
   Sweet Emotion

Non-Aerosmith songs:
   All the Young Dudes – Mott the Hoople
   Dream Police – Cheap Trick
   I Hate Myself for Loving You  – Joan Jett
   All Day and All of the Night  – The Kinks
   Complete Control – The Clash
   Personality Crisis – New York Dolls

==============================

Though judging from the trailer, it looks like we’re in for more GH3, only this time with a ‘theme’ of watching Aerosmith.  Is this something we really want?  I mean, even from the the little track list there’s only like a 2 songs I personally would play more then once.    I believe we are looking at corprates idea of a good game and the developers are like, dude.. we’ve already done this.    I’m not seeing anything ‘new’ about GH:A.   And that parts scares me.
