Grand Theft Auto IV Xbox 360

How many of you are stoaked about the Grand Theft Auto IV release next month. While I’m sure that there are plenty of you that just don’t get into the GTA games, this is easily one of the most-anticipated titles of the year. In celebration, Microsoft has cooked up a special limited edition Grand Theft Auto IV Xbox 360.

On the inside these systems are Xbox 360 Elites, however, for once it isn’t what’s on the inside that counts. If you manage to get your hands on one of these awesome consoles you’ll be treated to custom GTA box art on the sides, along with a cool looking faceplate. It also comes with a slew of accessories such as a wireless controller with keyboard, headset, remote and more. My favorite part is that all of the accessories are housed in a cool briefcase.


So how do you get your hands one one of these sweet 360’s? We’re not exactly sure. It’s a limited run of 500, so you can bet it won’t be easy to acquire one. We’ll let you know if we get more info on it. [complex]

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith Announced

If you ever wondered why there are barely any Aerosmith tracks in the last few Guitar Hero games, it’s because Activision has huge plans for the band. They’ve announced that their next Guitar Hero series is going to star the hit rock band headed by the extremely large mouthed Steven Tyler, and will be called Guitar Hero: Aerosmith!

Here’s what Steven Tyler had to say:
"Any band that can go from 'Don't Want to Miss A Thing' (Aerosmith's #1 smash hit) the ass-kicking 'Sweet Emotion' to the cheekiness of 'Love in an Elevator,' to the classic ballad 'Dream On' shows why Activision chose us to headline this game based on the diversity of the Aerosmith catalog. Not only is songwriting a b*tch, but then it goes and has puppies."

“Not only is songwriting a b*tch, but then it goes and has puppies...”? WTF? I guess we can forgive Steven Tyler for that lame attempt at humor, since he's given us so many great tracks. Expect the game sometime in June 2008.

If you think about it, there have been barely any Metallica songs in the GH games too. I hope and pray this means there's a Guitar Hero: Metallica in the pipeline too; now that would seriously own!

Metal Gear Solid:Collection for the PS2

Don’t set that PS2 aside just yet. Even though the console has been out since I was in high school, people are still pumping out new titles. It would be great if the PS3 still had decent backwards compatibility, but I digress. The next big release to look forward to is actually a collection of old games. The first three Metal Gear Solid games to be precise.

The release of these games is no doubt a move to build up excitement about the impending release of Metal Gear Solid 4 on the PS3. If you haven’t played one or all of these games, you can bet that it’ll be well worth the money. After all, it’s been labeled as one of the most successful games series of all time (even if it was Konami’s VP of Marketing that labeled it such).

We’re not actually sure when the Metal Gear Solid: Essential Collection will be hitting store shelves. However, we do know that it’ll set you back $29.99, which isn’t bad for what you get. [gamepro]

Free Xbox Live Game : Undertow

That free Xbox Live Arcade game Microsoft promised in compensation for the extended service downtime? It's going to be Undertow, a game that popped last November. We feel for the poor developers who worked on this game, seeing as it's being given away as a consolation prize.[Gamerscoreblog]
