Call of Duty cash cow will be milked completely dry
Posted on March 3, 2010 | No CommentsLet's go back to the year 2005. That autumn, RedOctane released a game called Guitar Hero. It was pretty successful, so it spawned a sequel, Guitar Hero II. That came out on the fall of 2006. One year later, Rock Band first popped up. Then, in the span of around two years, video game publishers lost their minds, and published approximaely 800 music rhythm games. Now you have a situation where not even The Beatles can make Rock Band big again. The lesson: don't saturate the market with same-y games too suddenly. With that in mind, laugh: Activision has created a “dedicated [Call of Duty] business unit that will bring together its various new brand initiatives with focused, dedicated resources around the world.” “Brand initiatives,” folks. Get ready for, like, 900 new Call of Duty games in the next few years!

A collection of reasonably priced Xbox 360 games
Posted on November 23, 2009 | No CommentsThis is the worst time to be a gamer. Yeah, it's great that so many good games have come out recently (take your pick from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed II, Left 4 Dead 2, etc.), but it's pretty difficult to shell out $60+ every other day in the span of two weeks.

No Doubt sues Activision over inappropriate use of their avatars in Guitar Hero
Posted on November 5, 2009 | No CommentsFamous rock band No Doubt has sued Activision over the use of its avatars in the game Guitar Hero 5. No Doubt says that the deal it signed with Activision only permitted the avatars to be used when playing No Doubt songs. The problem is that Activision has it set up that you can play any song in the game with the No Doubt avatars. That I'm even writing about this is rather depressing.

Rock music is dead, and all the Rock Band in the world won’t save it
Posted on October 27, 2009 | No CommentsIn the interest of bringing Ron and Fez’s fantastic radio show topics to a more tech-minded audience, I propose the following: games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, while fun and, generally speaking, “good,” will not save rock music.

Now the countdown begins for a possible U2 Rock Band
Posted on October 7, 2009 | No CommentsAt this rate, you and your garage band could be starring in the next Rock Band-like game! (That's actually not a bad idea. Some sort of service wherein you upload your band's songs, and a little while later out pops a file that works in Rock Band and Guitar Hero.) Famous band U2 recently told USA Today that, sure, it would love to be in a video game of its own one day. It's probably too late now, seeing as though, years from now, The Beatles: Rock Band will be viewed as the apex of these music games.
