System Fail News: Guitar Hero 5 Set For September Release Date

image 

So, how many Guitar Hero games have there been released so far? Everyone pull out a pen and paper; Guitar Hero 1,2 and 3:Legends Of Rock, Aerosmith,World Tour and most recently, Guitar Hero Metallica. Now by my count that makes 6 and so if they released another game it would be no. 7 right. Not so.Activision are indeed releasing a new game that will be called Guitar Hero 5, but I suppose you guessed that from the title of this post… Anyway this new game will feature a whole host of different acts including…

The Rolling Stones
The White Stripes
Kings of Leon
Tom Petty
Bob Dylan
Johnny Cash
Santana
Vampire Weekend
Beastie Boys
Coldplay
Duran Duran
Gorillaz
Jimmy Eat World
Muse
The Raconteurs

…and it will be released on September 1st, the exact same release date of Rock Band: The Beatles, the upcoming game from Activision’s rivals Harmonix. Best of luck to both developers!

Which developer do you think will come out on top? Leave a comment!

System Fail News: BioShock 2 Big Daddy Revealed!

Do you remember last month when I told you a bunch of cool info about BioShock 2 ? No? Click on this link and refresh your mind. One of the pieces of gossip on in that article was that in BioShock 2, you will play as a Big Daddy. Not just any Big Daddy either. The original one. At the time of writing that post I couldn’t offer any insight as to what that Big Daddy would look like, however the newly released issue of Game Informer shows us just that. Take a look at the new character in the image below.

System Fail Top Tips: 5 Must Have Games (PS3)

In comparison to the Xbox 360, the PS3 is a relatively new console, yet there are still plenty of great games available for it.

Below I have listed the top 5 games that you should definitely buy for your PS3.

5.Grand Theft Auto IV

The Don, the top dog,the King. All of these titles represent Grand Theft Auto's status in the world of sandbox games. Rockstar's recent addition to the series, GTA IV, was a massive hit with crazed fans of the long-running franchise and newcomers alike. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see why. In the game you get to run around like a mad man, killing innocent civilians, irritating policemen with your wave of endless crime sprees and as an all time first you get to go bowling!

4. Little Big Planet

Aah, Little Big Planet. The only game on PS3 that can turn a hardened career criminal into a super-sensitive softie. I can understand a gangster's change of heart, after all Sackboys are just sooo cute! The adorable playground world that developers Media Molecule have created is intriguing to everyone over the age of embryo (not really an age, I know) to anyone under the age of ancient (again not an age). With LBP it really is love at first sight!

3.Killzone 2

Die.Helghast.Die! These 3 words are the basic premise for Guerrilla's dark and grimy shooter. And it’s those same few words that have earned Killzone 2 the place of number 3 in this list. While the game is quite diverse and up to date in terms of graphics, gameplay and the like it’s base is relatively simple; kill the Helghast, revive your team mate, kill the Helghast, revive your team mate etc… This accessible way of playing provide an extremely fun experience and so it is a high priority must have!

*Demo available from the PlayStation Store

2. inFamous

Oh no. What on Earth have you done? inFamous’ story starts off when innocent bike messenger Cole embarks on a delivery mission which involves a mysterious package, which just happens to contain a freaky-deaky glowing orb. Anyway this orb thing goes KABOOM and devastates the whole of Empire City (where the game’s set) it also gives the main character Cole some super-cool electric powers.It’s up to you (as Cole) to run around Empire City either protecting the city from the equally powerful Reaper gang (who also have powers) or just making the Empire City residents’ problems a heck of a lot worse. It really is up to you…

*Download the demo from the PlayStation Store.

1.Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

The last on the list and the last in the MGS series (or so Hideo Kojima says). This game is famous for its uber long cut scenes, something that is only respected by fans of Metal Gear Solid. That annoying feature isn’t much to worry about as it doesn't take away from how much fun can be had with the game. It’s no generic FPS, Brother’s In Arms I’m talking to YOU, it's a solid video game that ties up the majority of the loose strings left of the Metal Gear Story and is definitely worth a place in your PS3 video game collection.

System Fail News: New Fight Night Round 4 Dev Video Shows Us A Strong Contender

It looks like recent release UFC 2009 Undisputed may have some serious competition in the form of Fight Night Round 4, with each trailer and preview of the game making it look like a good competitor for lots of other fighting games including UFC and Smackdown Vs Raw and it’s one of these sorts of videos that helps to solidify this very claim.

More Juicy Assassin’s Creed 2 Gossip!

image

Yay!!!!!! I bet you're wondering what that sudden outburst of exclamation marks was all about. Well, I’ll explain.

Earlier, I was reading an article in video game magazine , Games Tm, about the new Assassin’s Creed game (aptly named Assassin’s Creed 2).

Anyway, I though that it would be a great idea if I told you guys what juicy gossip was revealed about the game. However there’s too much to type up so instead here some concise bullet points!!!!!

  • You’re goal will no longer be to just kill “that guy” and will now be to receive ‘Assassin style’ missions from a few well known characters such as;

      Leonardo Da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, Niccolo Machiavelli and Caterina Sforza (the links are to their Wikipedia pages)

  • You will carry out your assassin missions in these three Italian cities;

      Venice, Florence and Tuscany

  • Demonstrated in the picture above, not only will you be able to swim, you will be able to dive underwater too!
  • The story will revolve in some way around 3 powerful merchant families

       Medici,Pazzi and Sforza

The article also revealed that the protagonist ,Ezio Auditore Di Firenze, will have to seduce quite a few women during the game.

Easy on Ezio!

System Fail News: Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Teaser Video

A few months ago I told you to remember the date November 10th as it will be the release date for Infinity Ward’s much awaited sequel to Call of Duty : Modern Warfare, the aptly name Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Not much is known about the apart from the release date and not much else. We haven’t seen any footage of the game just yet, however this new teaser video shows us just that.

System Fail Viewpoint: UFC 2009 Undisputed (Demo)

image

Brutal.Ruthless.Unforgiving. The three words that can be used to describe a teenagers experience of high school, though they can also be used for describing the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). I recently downloaded and played the demo for the brand spanking new game and I must say I was overwhelmed by how much I had playing it! I had heard many mixed opinions of the game though when I dove into the demo I wasn’t ready to make any decisions. However, since downloading the demo a couple of days ago, I have since played approximately 13 times! Here,let me explain what makes the demo so great.

1.)The graphics

Oh boy don’t let me get started on the graphics! Demos are often regarded as shabby unfinished pieces of products taken from the main game. They are usually poorly put together and confusing. But not this one! Each time I loaded the demo I was stunned and surprised by just how visually stunning the graphics were. The bodies of the fighters glistened and shone in the bright lights that were projected into the caged arena. After Killzone 2, UFC’s graphics are the best that I have seen in a demo so far.

2.) The fun!

I have never had this much playing an unfinished game since, well ever! As I stated above I have played the game many, many times since downloading it and despite the fact that only one fight is available after downloading the demo (between Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell and Shogun Rua) it’s still fun. The fighting provides so much sheer amusement, not in a gimmicky way, I actually had a grin that went from ear-t-ear after I finished up playing the demo for the umpteenth time.

My Verdict: Either get the game or download the demo ‘cuz this game is off the CHAIN!

>In other words the game is a must have as it’s a lot of fun and it provides a lot of replay ability.

System Fail Rumour: GTA IV Lost and Damned DLC Coming To PS3

Lost and Damned

That’s right readers, you did indeed read the headline correctly, the Xbox 360 exclusive DLC, GTA IV Lost and Damned may be coming to PS3. This may come as a surprise to you as Kotaku reported a while ago that Microsoft paid the rather extravagant price of $50,000,000 (wowza!) for two episodes of this exclusive content. The rumour all started when PSW Magazine wrote released an article that stated that GTA IV Lost and Damned will be released for PS3 on August 20th 2009. The magazine also stated that when Microsoft forked out the big bucks for the DLC it was only to ensure that the DLC would be Xbox 360 exclusive for just 6 months. To be honest I think Microsoft got ripped off. Don’t you?

Ding Ding ; Round 4

It’s that time again, in what I like to call a “game’s life cycle”, where developers and publishers of a game release trailers in order to create the “hype” or rather increase a game’s publicity. And it seems that that crucial stage in which a trailer can make or break a game has come around for EA’s upcoming boxing sim, Fight Night Round 4. With this fresh trailer, released by EA, we can all have hope in our hearts for the heavily anticipated game as this trailer quite clearly helps to portray this game in an extremely bright light.

Over the past few months I’ve posted lots of info and videos about Eidos’ upcoming release Batman Arkham Asylum and at the moment we’re all feeling pretty excited (especially me) about the game’s arrival. Though despite our increasing enthusiasm for the game, Eidos and Warner Bros, the people behind the game, have told my fellow video game bloggers at Joystiq that all hopes of the game being released soon can be dashed. Well, they didn’t exactly say it in those words, though what they did say was that although Batman Arkham Asylum was slated for release on June 23rd , it has now been pushed back until the end of Summer.

Don’t worry Batman fans, you can pre-order the game from Amazon.
