I’m working on a special article for Aberrantech, but I am still waiting to hear back from a couple sources for some info I need before I can say anything official. In the meantime, I went to Best Buy on Saturday to pick up the Deluxe Edition of the Across the Universe Soundtrack and to my wonder they had Rock Band and Guitar Hero III setup right next to each other. I think Rock Band is far superior for anyone that wants to play with friends and I am really excited to see where they take that franchise, but Guitar Hero III is where its at for me, especially with the news that it will be released for PC. It will be a great thrill to sit back in my desk chair wailing on my little plastic guitar B.B. King style.

Also, if you’re as immature as I am and watched the Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror and Family Guy tonight then you saw the impressive commercials that Sony put out for the Playstation 3. Given the small number of games compared to its competition I haven’t been convinced yet, but damn were those commercials cool. Microsoft did sneak one commercial in promoting the social aspect of the XBox 360, but it wasn’t even close to Sony’s ads. I don’t think Microsoft has anything to worry about though as I hear that the new Metal Gear Solid got pushed back into 2008 meaning that the PS3 has very little in way of “killer apps”.

Anyways, just before typing this I caught this ad on the tube and only made me want to play Guitar Hero III more.

By the way, they did an interview with Slash at the place I work at. He seemed like one very interesting dude. I’m guessing that featuring him in GH3 isn’t going to hurt his reputation any.
