It seems somebody has made a little mistake by saying that Rock Band 2 will not hit our shores this year instead it will come out in November only in America and will also grace the 360 first and will eventually come out on the other systems.

A spokesperson from EA said that “There was a misunderstanding and there is no confirmed date for Europe.”

With Guitar Hero 4 out this year over here it would of been silly of EA to go up against it but it is EA and I’m surprised they haven’t gone up against Activision this time.

As soon as we get a release date for Rock Band 2 i will let you know.

Guess what I’ve decided to give this another try so as of tomorrow i will be updating this a lot more than i have with a feature on EA plus i have also got an idea on how to do reviews a little different but that’s for another post.

So thanks for everybody who has been checking in on here and don’t forget to come back tomorrow to check out my feature on those nice people at EA

Oh Rock Band how you tease us with all of those new tracks and cocky Americans laughing at us because they have had the game since late last year well it’s finally time for us to get a bit of this gorgeous cherry.

The date we have to look out for is as early as May 23rd (yes that early) however we don’t have a price yet but EA might announce that today at a press event they are holding.

Just to make things a little more sweeter we get a few tracks those Americans didn’t get plus all 70 downloadable songs that are available via the US marketplace will also be available from day one with EA also stating that from May 27th all songs will be available on both American and UK marketplace.

So i guess it is now time to go and preorder yourself a copy and take out a bank loan just in-case, plus i also think it’s best if you clear a lot of room as there is enough kit to take up a full spare room.

Update - the price has just been released and cop a hold of this

Instruments (Drums, Guitar and Microphone) = £129.99
Game = £49.99 (everywhere will sell it at £39.99)
Total = £179.98 (£169.98 hopfully)

Grand Total = A shit load of money

Thanks very much EA for bleeding us dry

Update 2 - If you head over to the nice people at Play.com you will be able to get the instruments at £99.99 (saving 23%) and the game at £39.99 (saving 20%).

you will also be able to buy the drums and the guitar on there own with the drums costing you £69.99 and the guitar £59.99.

So thanks to Play.com it is’nt going to be that bad in the end.

As soon as i get pricing information from Game.com and Gamestation i will let you know.

A quick piece of news here but it seem’s that the big videogames magazine in japan Famitsu has said that Resident Evil 0 will be heading to the Wii sometime this year.

Now this is just a rumor and it’s unknown if this will just be a port of the Gamecube or if this will be a remake like they did with the original Resident Evil.

As soon as more info is released we will let you know.

Well it seems like the next generation movie format award has ended with Toshiba the pioneers of HD DVD decideing to stop make HD DVD players as of this moment and the last shipment of players will reach shops by the end of March.

The news comes after a week of rumors that Toshiba will stop production of the product and it seems that the rumors were true.
There is no news what microsoft will do now with there HD DVD add on but fingers will point at the stopping of the production of it and the rumored Blu-Ray add on getting released sooner that people thought.
It is also a sign that the other two big companies that back HD DVD (Paramount and Universal) will now switch to Blu-Ray.

When there is more news about this story i will lets you know

It finally seems that Activision and Infinity Ward have announced that there will be some new maps for Call of Duty 4 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 released sometime this spring.

On top of the announcement of the new maps they have also told us that there will be some new gameplay elements with fingers pointing to the staple capture the flag scenario that should also feature some new challengers.

Robert Bowling community manage at Infinity Ward said in a statement that “We’re excited about the new maps, and the added gameplay variety, and we can’t wait to wrap things up and get online with everyone.”

As soon as details are announced about the maps i will let you know.

Now before you get your hopes up these are just rumors for the moment but they have been flying around the internet with reports suggesting that Sony is going to be dropping the 80gb PS3 in favour of the 120gb and 160gb.

Another thing to note is the fact that this is only for the American market if it happens as Sony have gone on record today saying that if the 120gb model was to be made real there would be no chance it would come over here instead we just have to have the 40gb model (or 60gb if you can still find one).

While it might sound like a good idea on Sonys part to have such a huge giga bite model of the PS3 in my eyes it’s pointless as this would just be another version of a console that is getting outsold easily by it’s competition.

If there is any more news to erupt from this story i will let you know.

Well here is another SSBB trailer for you to drool over as i can’t wait for the game to come out over here (whenever that is).

So feast your eyes over it and tell me what you think.

A quick piece of news here that will be bad news to those that are waiting for Manhunt 2 over on our shores.

The game will not see the light of day as the High court has overturned the decision the appeals committee made late last year.

The appeals committee decided to over turn the BBFC decision and say that the game can be released however the BBFC went into a strop like a five year old kid and went to the high court, well it now seems that the babies got there own way by stopping the game from getting released over here.

If anymore news happens on Manhunt 2 we will let you know

Finally for people who have been waiting to hear when the next GTA game will be out well you have’nt that long to wait.

The game will have a worldwide release on the 29th April on the PS3 and 360.

Sam Hauser founder and executive producer at Rockstar said in a statement that “We are so excited to be releasing Grand Theft Auto IV,” he went on to say that “We’ve pushed ourselves very hard to make something incredible and hope the game sets a new benchmark for interactive entertainment.”

If the game follows in the footsteps of the other GTA games then this should be a huge hit but we will have to wait and see.
