Activision is apparently in a race with EA to see who can run their franchises into the ground first.

EA has the experience, with Madden and countless others, but clearly Activision has the will and the determination to take the title.

Personally, I think EA will take the crown. They've destroyed classic, historic gaming franchises like Ultima and Wing Commander. Even if Guitar Hero dies, we'll still have Rock Band.

I personally wont be buying the new guitar hero. They dont support it enough after it releases and frankly the game itself isnt worth 60 bucks. Its the same stuff just a few different songs.

Salvadore5910d ago

I wouldn't mind if they released a Metallica special edition or of that kind, but to just milk on the franchise and offer very little in features is very EA-ish.

TimEdwards5911d ago

they should just release a load more songs for GH3

the ones on the marketplace at the moment are pretty average bar the foo fighters and I was surprised how little there were.

GodsHand5911d ago

True that. RockBand has over shadowed Guitar Hero with DLC. Why even bother putting DLC feature in the game, if you just plan on releasing a new game ever year.

BTW, dont forget the extra bonus songs in the Aerosmith GH game, like you(Activision) did in Rock the 80's.

Amp5911d ago

yes, and EA will release another madden, news at 11:00

bigjclassic5911d ago

CASH COW!!!

they'll be making these yearly like Madden.

sorry, you beat me to the madden reference- props

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
