Not to be forgotten in the next gen console race [although I still think having an entire year up on the other two entrants is a tad bit unfair] Microsoft held their annual Xbox event X06 in Barcelona, Spain the past two days, and came out swinging to say the least.
At some point in the next few days we will get to talking about the details MS shared with the world about the HD-DVD drive, Halo 3, Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2, and Fable 2 being on deck, but the most surprising news to me so far is that RedOctane has been working on Guitar Hero II not only for the PS2 but XB360 as well. Oh, and not only that, but they have been working on a new controller for the XB360 version of the game.
Now, I got this info from this website because they included a picture of the "supposed" XB360 axe and I have to say, it's nowhere near as impressive [i.e. cool] looking as the existing GH axe. If this puppy is going to fly on the XB360, that guitar controller, if that is what it's going to look like, will need a massive overhaul before launch day. If you want my dollars, it's got to at least look a little cool... I can't have it bringing down my overall "with it" status.
What really has my brain all a twitter is the idea of online PS3 vs. XB360 GH battles. I don't know if it's possible or if it will even happen... but dude it would be freakin' sweet! I love rhythm or music based games, as Pandalicious will quickly attest to, but all the games that I really enjoy I have a hard time finding people to play with me. I don't have a lot of friends around that are gamers, and it's hard to get people over when I have time to have them over [which is the big struggle] in order to open up a can o' whoop on em.
In any case, to those of you about to rock, I salute you!
