Three months ago, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith launched to middling reviews and solid sales, just over 1 million units as of the end of August, according to the NPD Group. Until today, it seemed that the tribute to the Boston rockers would be the only band-centric instrument-based rhythm game until Guitar Hero: Metallica ships in 2009. However, today Electronic Arts, MTV Games, and Harmonix upended that theory by revealing a new Rock Band game focused on legendary Australian group AC/DC. The AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will be available as a stand-alone product for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on November 2 in North America for $39.88 and the PlayStation 2 for $29.88. A Wii edition will arrive on November 16 for $39.88 in the US and Canada, with all four versions hitting the UK, Europe, and Australasia in December. While the game will be available at "most major retailers" internationally, domestically it will only have one source. The The New York Times reports that in the US, the AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will only be sold at Wal-Mart, its Sam's Club subsidiary, and its online store. The megaretailer has struck a deal with AC/DC's label, Sony-owned Columbia Records, to promote Black Ice through dedicated stands in its stores peddling AC/DC albums, DVDs, T-shirts, and other merchandise, including games. "If you want to be a physical band, you better make an alliance with a strong physical retailer," Columbia Records chairman Steve Barnett told the Times. "It's a great way to sell the new album, the catalog, the game, merchandise and DVDs." A Rockstar rep confirmed to GameSpot that Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, and Walmart.com will be the only places the track pack will be available, and no downloadable version is planned. Gamers who want to incorporate the songs from the new game into their regular Rock Band and Rock Band 2 repertoires are in luck. "All tracks from the AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will also be available for play in Rock Band and Rock Band 2 by entering a special export authentication code for the Xbox 360...and PlayStation 3," said MTV Games in a statement. No mention was made of the versions for Wii and PS2. One thing the AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track won't have is a virtual version of guitarist Angus Young jumping around in his trademark schoolboy uniform. "AC/DC's likeness are not used as characters or avatars in the game," a MTV Games rep said. "AC/DC LIVE Rock Band Track Pack is like Rock Band and Rock Band 2 in that it is completely focused on the music while giving people the opportunity to live out their rock star fantasies as themselves rather than playing as digitized versions of the artists." A compete list of AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack's 18 songs, all of which are live versions taken from various performances, is listed below. The total running time of the combined songs is just over 99 minutes.

"Thunderstruck"
"Shoot to Thrill"
"Back in Black"
"Hell Ain't a Band Place to Be"
"Heatseeker"
"Fire Your Guns"
"Jailbreak"
"The Jack"
"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"
"Moneytalks"
"Hell's Bells"
"High Voltage"
"Whole Lotta Rosie"
"You Shook Me All Night Long"
"T.N.T."
"Let There Be Rock"
"Highway to Hell"
"For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)"

Gameplay otworzy się po kliknięciu w obrazek z Larą

Ta gra wygląda tak pięknie, że wprost nie mogę się doczekać nowych przygód Lary. A co Wy sądzicie o nowej odsłonie Tomb Raidera ? Dzisiaj na GC 2008 nic ciekawego się nie pojawiło. Nie licząc masy nowych trailerów i screenów z oczekiwanych przez nas gier. Warty odnotowania jest jedynie fakt, że Guitar Hero: Aerosmith we wrześniu pojawi się na PC. Ale będzie gierczenie :)

So since we got that out of the way, let's get on with this review:

First of all i thought the idea of playing through Aerosmith's story of their rise to fame was a pretty cool idea for a guitar hero game, although i kind of preferred the idea of YOUR OWN band rising to fame in the other GH games.......but anyway...

Secondly, the songs that are not Aerosmith songs are kinda cool additions to the GH library, but dear god did i find the aerosmith songs annoying.

And lastly, when you play an Aerosmith song which is like 75% of the time, you ARE Aerosmith. I don't see why they bothered to tease us with the idea of character choice this time around and you just played as Aerosmith the whole time. WHATEVER.

Ok so in summation i thought the only thing that redeemed the game were the non-aerosmith songs and they could quite easily be downloadable content NOT A AUD $79.95 PS2 GAME! STAR WARS: THE FORCE UNLEASHED AT LAUNCH ISN'T EVEN GOING TO BE THAT MUCH!?!?!? WHAT THE HELL GUYS!?!?

So this game to me is worth :

AUD $12

Probably the first thing you'll notice about BioShock is the in-engine first-person cutscenes, very reminiscent of the Half-Life games. A winning formula, which is reinforced by BioShock's powerful visuals. Graphically the game didn't stand out much beyond what we'd already seen. There was a lot of talk about the pretty looking water, however, past looking out over the ocean from the Lighthouse steps, I really didn't think the water was what was important about BioShock. What was important was Rapture; the city is beautifully realised in a blended art deco/steampunk style. Rapture is filled with banners, posters and neon lights. Empty bottles and old newspapers can be found strewn around the city. Plasmid advertisements and Atlas' political slogans can be seen almost everywhere you look. It's this attention to detail that breaths life into Rapture, and consequently what makes much of the game so eerie from the Medical Centre's bloodstained walls to the abandoned bars of Fort Frolic and the flooded apartments. Apart from looking very nice, BioShock's soundtrack features some amazing music, including orchestral pieces recorded for the game and licensed tracks from artists such as Billie Holiday and Bing Crosby.

Although BioShock was described by many as a blend of FPS and RPG, it contains very minimal roleplaying elements. The plasmid/tonic system is much more like something from an adventure game. Still, the game offers enough variation in play style, coupled with the "moral" choice of saving or harvesting the Little Sisters, to warrant multiple playthroughs.

At it's core though, BioShock offers a strong story-driven game. It is based on Ayn Rand's masterpiece Atlas Shrugged. The use of the name Atlas and Andrew Ryan (as a sort of anagram of Ayn Rand) are but cosmetic similarities. It is Ryan's dream for Rapture, and it's collapse, that are inspired by Rand's novel and they form the basis of a story that compels us to discover the truth at it's heart.

I've talked long enough already and not nearly covered enough. BioShock is worth

AUD$120

It's a genuine piece of art; thought provoking and inspired.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith on the other hand...

It's a lot better than I was expecting, given Moh0k's reaction to the game. Once again (like with Soul Calibur), I'm quite the GH fan and I wasn't expecting very much from an Aerosmith themed spin-off. Now I'm sure Aerosmith are a great band, and I'm sure that there are lots of people out there who really like them a lot, but when I first heard about it I groaned. I like a few of their songs Love in an Elevator, Walk This Way, Dude (Looks Like A Lady) but the later sadly doesn't make an appearance in the game. So it was with much trepidation that I fired up Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.

The game is actually quite good. I really quite liked most of the non-Aerosmith songs, and even found myself enjoying a few of the Aerosmith songs that I had previously been unfamiliar with. Still, other than an additional 40-odd songs, the game brings nothing new to the franchise. As if that wasn't bad enough, it's completely incompatible with my GH3 content, including all the DLC on my Hard Drive.

Normally we'd shy away from talking about a game's RRP, but Aerosmith retails for AUD$89.95 for Xbox 360. (it's probably similarly costed for PS3 and about $10 cheaper on Wii and PS2) Frankly, that's outrageous - moreso given that the GH3 disc sells for $79.95 for Xbox 360. Aerosmith is worth $10 more than the core GH3 experience? Hardly. It's worth

1818 MSP (AUD$30)

It's DLC dressed up as an expansion pack. If you're an Aerosmith fan then you'll enjoy it, but for everyone else there's plenty of great DLC out there and GH4 on the horizon.

In this episode I talk about FireFox3 (again), Guitar Hero Aerosmith , the Open PC by Psystar, and a new webcam from Dell. Let me know what you think by sending me an email at Stephen@MyTekieLife.info

So I've been playing Guitar Hero: Aerosmith the last couple of days. My thoughts? It is pretty much the same exact thing as Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Except it's a different band and different songs. It's still a fun game to play though.

The truth about Guitar Hero and Rock Band, there is no such thing as "beating" those games, which is called a "sandbox" games which you can never beat them. They are games that you can stop playing whenever you feel like stopping.

For Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, I'm just practising in the "expert" level mode. I ain't playing the "career" just yet. I probably gonna be playin' this game all week.

GameStop Patron I to GameStop Patron II:

My cousin invented [Guitar Hero: Aerosmith] -- too bad I can't get any money out of it.

GameStop Patron II:

Which cousin?

GameStop Patron I:

J.  Well, J.'s husband.

GameStop Patron II:

Which one's J.?

GameStop Patron I:

You know, the one who tried to kill herself.

Well, we covered Rock Band's E3 info, and we know a lot of you LOVE Guitar Hero, so we got some info for you as well. O, Rock Band users- you may wanna check this out as well, as one of the big announcements involves you guys to. All the info is after the More link.

• Sequel to Guitar Hero On Tour for Nintendo DS- Yes, only one month after Guitar Hero On Tour came out for the DS, Activsion is planing an encore with a game called Guitar Hero On Tour Decades. You can't blame them though- they sold 350,000 (yes 350,000) copies in the first 3 weeks, so a successor was obvious. So what's new in Decades? Well as you could've guessed, the songs in the game will probably date back multiple decades. There is also a new song sharing capability (to let your friends with the original On Tour sample some of the new tunes), and a possible addition of using the DS's Mic for Karaoke. Not much else is known on the new game such as price or release, but we know Activision will announce more info when the time is right.
• Latest Metallica Album to come to Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero 3 at the same time it is released on CD- This is some pretty big news, as it shows how big the impact games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band are having on the music industry. It is also big news if your a fan of classic rock or Metallica. We don't know yet how much this will cost to download, but you can expect it when Guitar Hero World Tour is released in the fall.
• Videos of Guitar Hero World Tour in action- Joystiq got some videos of this highly anticipated game in action- with everything from how the new drums will work, to using the new Song Creator, all the way down to how the game will play with a drum, guitar, and mic all at once, as well as everything in between. Check out the videos here.

Guitar Hero World Tour Demoed

• Compatibility for Rock Band Guitar and Drums with Guitar Hero Aerosmith and World Tour!!- We saved the biggest news for last, and any one who owns Rock Band, or likes its instruments better than Guitar Hero's, has got to be thrilled by this news. This new Rock Band compatibility comes as an update to Guitar Hero Aerosmith, will be included in Guitar Hero World Tour, and will as the title of the bullet says- allow you to use your Rock Band drums or guitar in Guitar Hero Aerosmith and Guitar Hero World Tour. No news on whether the new Rock Band 2's kit is supported, or if the new Mad Catz and Ion Rock Band add-ons will work, but it still is pretty big (and nice) news regardless.

Ok, so there is the Guitar Hero E3 info. Any thoughts, questions or comments? Let us know in the comments.

Info provided by Joystiq.com

We said we'd get you some Rock Band E3 info, and here it is. There is a lot of cool stuff here, and to find out all the info, Read On!

• 500 Songs By the End of the Year- We're starting off slow :) Well, Harmonix (maker of Rock Band) said that they would have 500 songs out by the end of the year. That probably means you'll find something to "Rock Out" to ;) . Also, current Rock Band owners- don't forget you can transfer your  downloaded songs to the new game, and from the new game's downloaded songs back to the original, assuming there is no license problems- which Harmonix and MTV are currently working out.
• New Venues and Game Modes- With those 500 songs, you got to have some new places to play right? Well, Harmonix and MTV know that and have therefore added 2 new places- Tokyo and Tijuana (according to a Google search, it is a place down in Mexico). There are also 2 new game modes mentioned: a "World Tour" mode where you hire a manager (or your mother- seriously it is a choice in the game) to manage your budding virtual rock star career, and a "No Fail" mode- where there are literally no fails if you aren't playing perfectly (or if you got some friends over and you wanna be nice and make no one feel like they can't play- or you wanna keep things moving :) ).

New Venue in Rock Band 2

• New Accessories- Cheap Version- Probably the biggest news on the Rock Band side (actually that comes a little later, see Guitar Hero E3 post), but before that, there is a whole lot of new accessories for Rock Band. These are mainly new instruments made by Mad Catz, for those of you who want something beyond the standard Rock Band Kit.  These new instruments include a "Premium Mic" that offers sound that is "Studio Quality" and also includes buttons for things such as setup (those of you with the original Rock Band remember that you needed a controller and the Mic for set up, here it is only the Mic). Next up is the "Portable Drum Kit"- a simple Drum Kit that is playable anywhere and supposedly on anything. This Drum Kit comes with the whole deal: foot pedal, pads, and even fold able sticks. Next up is the Cymbals, which will give your drum set a little more of a realistic look and feel (though they look to only work with the standard Drum Kit, not Mad Catz's portable version). The price of the Mic is $50, the Portable Drum Kit is $60, the Cymbal's are $30 for a pack of 3, or otherwise $15 each. All of these should be available in the Fall, probably around the time Rock Band 2 is released.

Portable Drum Kit by Mad Catz

• New Accessories- Not so Cheap Version- Well, these are for those of you with some more cash to spend, or with a huge desire to be a fake Rock Star. These accessories are from both Mad Catz and a company called Ion, and these accessories come in the form of a Guitar and a Drum Kit. Mad Catz is the one offering the guitar, and it is a "full size Fender Sterocaster", that actually looks like the real thing. It also is wireless, and offers a foot pedal for "Over Drive" play for the hardcore rocker. It definitely costs a lot for that look and features- $199, and should come in the early part of next year for both the Xbox 360 and PS3.  Ion is next with their $300 Drum Kit, which for that hefty price comes with a metal enforced kick stand, and high durability pads for quiet gameplay, that also at same time register how hard you hit the pads in order to base the sound (similar to the drums on the new Guitar Hero 4). It works with both Rock Band and Rock Band 2 and is available for pre-order right now from Ion's site, though currently it is only for the 360, but PS3 and Wii versions are in the works.

Ion Drum Kit

Okay so as you can see, some of this stuff is for just the hardcore gamer (last bullet), while some of the others are for everyone (first 3 bullets). O, and don't worry all you Guitar Hero 4 lovers, we got some info for you to from E3. Stay tuned.... all will be out soon.

Yesterday, I didn't do too much. Sat around working on powderxxx.com and ran to Frys Electronics to look at Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and Rock Band for the Wii to use at RudeTV when hosting Guitarded. The same songs over and over could make the show stale so I needed to start checking out other games.

I might go see The Dark Knight tonight but I haven't decided. I might wait to go later in the week during the day so there will be less kids and people in general in the theater.

GUITAR HERO: AEROSMITH | FEATURING STEVEN TYLER AND JOE PERRY

FIFTH VERSION OF GUITAR HERO FEATURES 19 AEROSMITH TRACKS

While recording 12 Platinum (10 of those multi-plat) albums and 21 songs on the Billboard Top 40, Aerosmith has made a name for themselves because of their hard rock mentality mixed with influences of pop and blues. And the game Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is a tribute to their success more than a serious video game.

Following up the highest-selling video game of 2007, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith follows the career of the Boston-based band. It starts at Nipmuc High School in the early 70s, where your band shreds through "Dream Police" (by Cheap Trick) and "All The Young Dudes" (made popular by Mott the Hoople, covered by WaveGroup) before Aerosmith is brought on stage and your journey begins. You play through Aerosmith's career, visiting Moscow, The Orpheum Theater, and Max's Kansas City, among others. Classics such as "Dream On", "Love in an Elevator" and "Livin' on the Edge" are available to play.

Critically, this game was very interesting for me. I had only heard 2 Aerosmith songs: "Dream On", which played during the ending credits of the movie Miracle, and "Train Kept a Rollin'", which appeared on the game Rock Band. But I found some new songs that I enjoy, and not just from Aerosmith. "Dream Police" is the first song and maybe the best out of the non-Aerosmith tracks. "Cat Scratch Fever" from Ted Nugent is also a hit in my book. Run-D.M.C.'s "King of Rock" was also fun to jam on. It is probably the first time that the Guitar Hero franchise has taken on rap/rock. Maybe we can see some Family Force 5 on Guitar Hero: World Tour...

From the Aerosmith catalog comes "Dream On." I also liked playing "Mama Kin" and "Toys in the Attic."

In summary, I did not find anything extremely exciting coming out of this game except for playing "Dream On." But if you are an Aerosmith/Guitar Hero fan, this is a must-buy.

The breakout success of Activision's "Guitar Hero" and MTV's "Rockband" video games is providing a major boost to the recording industry as well as the bank accounts of some rock 'n' rollers from the old days. Case in point: Aerosmith, which recently signed off on "Guitar Hero: Aerosmith," sold 2,041 digital copies of its 1974 song "Same Old Song and Dance" last December and Alice Cooper has sold more than 12,000 digital copies of his 1972 anthem, "School's Out." (Advertising Age 7/2)

Sony acknowledged Wednesday that it had taken back its firmware 2.40 update for PlayStation 3 after customers began complaining about bugs shortly after its release Tuesday. A company spokesman, who said a "limited number of consumers" saw problems, said Sony would "identify a solution before we put the firmware back up." (InformationWeek 7/2)

AOL has launched BigDownload.com, which will offer more than 400 free game downloads, trailers and demos in an effort to reach serious players who are searching for more niche titles beyond the top 25 or so available at AOL's GameDaily.com site. The move is consistent with AOL's strategy of attracting more ad revenue by building specialized sites to reach the increasingly fragmented online community. (MediaPost Communications 7/2)

The game is released by Maxsoft, but the bundle with the Guitar is delayed. The ship must have hollanded. For those waiting for the bundle, it should be out by mid July.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is the first GH game focusing on one band or artist.  Following their rise to fame, the game takes you back to high school for Aerosmith's early days up too their biggest hits of recent years.  On the way there are plenty of non-Aerosmith songs to aid the variation without straying too far from the vision of keeping it about one band.  Personally, I'm not an Aerosmith fan and there isn't enough in this GH3 spin off to make me buy it.  Maybe I will rent it, and see If I change my mind.

Guitar Hero: On Tour is the breakaway venture taking the GH franchise to the handheld devices.  Designed for the Nintendo DS, the revolutionary "guitar grip" attachment allows for mobile shredding.  I got my hands on one of these today in a Gaming Shop, and it isnt as gimmicky as it sounds/looks but god forbid you be left handed!

These two new games are a sign that Guitar Hero is not going to fold to Rock Band's pressure.  In fact, this is just the beginning.  The next installment will of course be Guitar Hero World Tour.  A sublime leap forward for console rhythm gaming.  I was all set to go out and purchase an XBox 360 just so i could get Rock Band (it is only available on the 360 in the UK at the moment!) but before I could relieve myself of £189 ($300+) plus the price of another game console, I read about GH:WT!  I will be saving my hard earned cash and purchasing the superior music/rhythm game. (Editor's Note: Rock Band 2 doesn't look half bad either)

These two new games are a sign that Guitar Hero is not going to fold to Rock Band's pressure.

Also, not content with trying to overtake Rock Band, GH:Aerosmith and GH:On Tour will be actually heading out on tour with the "American Idols" in the coming months.  And Rolling along for the ride will be the demo version of World Tour!  With Rock Band appearing at various festivals across the US this summer, has GH taken it one step further and actually joined a "tour" albeit not a world one?

Its a tough choice ahead for those of you who already own Rock Band.  I mean come on, be realistic - how many plastic based peripherals do I "actually" have the room for?   In fact - that sounds like a whole other discussion to me!

Ahora que hablando enserio, ya nos llego a Dominium Mundi el juego Guitar Hero Aerosmith, y pues para ver si realmente valia la pena lo probamos, repito lo que dije en una entrada previa Aerosmith es un buen grupo . . . pero no para comprarlo aparte de mi actual Guitar Hero III. Aparte pues se me hace muy manchado que por obvias razones, no puedas usar otras guitarras, les dejo la imagen de advertencia, que gachos esos de Activision.

Y nada mas para confirmar ya habia dicho que ROCKBAND 2 sale para septiembre, pero de lo que no me habia enterado hasta hace un rato es que sera lanzado para el XB360 primero que todas las consolas . . . asi que dueños de un PS3, que aun no le entran a los juegos musicales, lloren, porque si esperan comprar el juego en Navidad ya estuvo que mejor se esperen para el dia de la Candelaria, porque no creo que nadie lo encuentre. A los dueños del Nintendo Wii ni les digo nada, porque ni el ROCKBAND 1 ha salido para su consola . . . o acaso alguno ya lo vio. JEJE.
