Talking to Conde Nast Portfolio magazine via IGN, Activision's CEO mentioned they will be including other instruments and vocals as well.  Sounds a lot like Rock Band eh?  They are also planning on letting gamers play along with local bands and local content. 

I am not quite sure how this whole "local" thing is going…  More

No complaining about quality.  This is the cost of seeing it 4 days early.  Per usual these bootleg youtube links don't last long.  So being the smart guy I am have a back up source just in case:

Tuesday.  April 29th.  D-Day for the gaming industry and all of Rockstar's competitors. 



I am going to go out on a wee little limb and say that Grand Theft Auto 4 is going to be the top selling game of the year.  I haven't even played the game yet but I that feeling this will be one title that will surely be the tops on many "Game of the Year" lists.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was set in the 1980s. This may have contributed to the game's unparalleled level of awesome. The cars, the clothes, and the music all begged the question: was this acceptable in the 80s? Apparently, it was. Besides being set in that most auspicious of decades GTA: VC continued down the path that GTA III set.

So sit back, relax, and let GameRiot take you back to a day when the 1980s were retro chic. And why bother with imagination? The player below contains many tracks …  More

How do you follow up one of the greatest games of all time in Vice City?  Surely that is what Rockstar asked themselves, as did the fans, knowing inevitably there had to be a sequel to Vice City.  Rockstar answered with the resoundingly larger, more over the top San Andreas.

And even though it was only originally available on the Playstation 2, its runaway success in sales assured later ports to both the PC and Xbox.

So sit back, relax, and let GameRiot take you back to a day when 3D was in and 2D was out. And while you're basking in that polygonal paradise why not flip on some good ole …  More
