New Guitar Hero game leaked by the ESRB

Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments

Activision apparently has another Guitar Hero title for the DS in development called Guitar Hero Modern Hits. The company has already released two titles for the portable in a short amount of time, so I’m assuming that this will be similar to the previous two with a different tracklist.

“This is a music and rhythm simulation game in which players can perform songs on a guitar. Players follow on-screen prompts to hit notes in-time with the music and are scored based on their accuracy. Some song lyrics contain references to violence, (e.g., “drop dead a bullet to my head”), alcohol (e.g., “turn the rich into wine” and “we stole and drank champagne”), and suggestive content (e.g., “if your body matches what your eyes can do”).” – ESRB description

Rockstar Leeds: Chinatown Wars “far bigger” than PSP GTA games

Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 14 Comments

“Chinatown Wars is much bigger than anything we have ever done before [in terms of scope]: more odd jobs, deeper missions, and more moments of over-the-top action. We have a huge interaction with the Rockstar Social Club, a massive [narcotics trafficking] game that would stand alone on its own. The list goes on and on; this thing is huge. We are very proud of all of the PSP games we have made, especially the two GTA games, but this game is far bigger.” – Rockstar Leeds president Gordon Hall

Rockstar Leeds definitely seems to be a capable of replicating the GTA experience on the DS, even though this is their first experience with the system. Still, I’m a bit shocked that Mr. Hall has stated that Chinatown Wars is bigger than the company’s work on the PSP titles.
