Tuesday 13th January/… Bruce Springsteen will make his videogame debut on January 27, 2009, with two downloadable songs available exclusively in Activision Publishing, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: ATVI) Guitar Hero® World Tour.
Coinciding with the release of his new album, Working on a Dream (Columbia Records), the two-song Track Pack will be available for download simultaneously with the album’s release on January 27, 2009.

“Bruce Springsteen has been a defining force in Rock ‘n Roll and we are incredibly excited to have him make his video game debut with Guitar Hero World Tour,” said Robert Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard.

San Francisco, Calif., Jan. 13, 2008 – Mastiff, a worldwide publisher of videogames and Renegade Kid, developer of innovative interactive software, today announced that the highly anticipated first-person shooter (FPS) Moon for Nintendo DS™ has shipped to stores nationwide.
Developed by Renegade Kid, Moon is a story-driven sci-fi, action-adventure title for Nintendo DS™. Moon places gamers on the cold lunar surface in the year 2058 where researchers are shocked to find a sealed, alien hatch during construction of a new lunar base. However, it is a shock that soon pales in comparison to what they find beyond the hatch.
“Moon has come a long way since its initial unveiling as ‘Project M’ and we couldn’t be happier with the end result,” said Bill Swartz, Head Woof of Mastiff. “It was a labor of love and we hope that players enjoy its gripping story and fast-paced gameplay as much as we do.”
CHICAGO, IL – January 13, 2009 – BringIt LLC, an online destination where video gamers can put up money to challenge other players to matches, play their favorite games, and earn prize money by winning, today unveiled a host of new features and programs that have recently been implemented into the site. Newly added features include multiplayer tournaments, an auto score reporting system, and a referral program that benefits members who drive friends to register. BringIt is live and in open beta at www.BringIt.com, with all functionality fully operational.
“BringIt has really come into its own since we opened the doors last fall,” says Woodrow “Woody” Levin, founder of BringIt. “We’ve had great initial response from gamers signing up, taking an active role with the service and providing invaluable community feedback so we’re confident the new features will be well received.”
The highly anticipated addition of multiplayer tournaments to BringIt lets skilled players increase their level of competitiveness and play for even higher prize money than a typical “head to head” match up, while still putting up the same entry fee. Currently, NCAA Bracket Style Tournaments are open and underway for Madden NFL 09, FIFA 09, NHL 09, Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat, and Call of Duty: World at War console games with more titles being added in the near future. Additionally, BringIt recently incorporated a new auto score reporting (ASR) system. The ASR automatically syncs up your end of game stats with BringIt’s challenge system and eliminates the need to self report the outcome. Members will now automatically get credit for the challenge they played, and this proprietary system will help to ensure fair game play in a fun, safe, secure environment.

This is our first head-to-head review here at pure nintendo. Basically, I’m going to break down the features of each game and compare each aspect head-to-head at the end of the review.
Guitar Hero World Tour
World Tour is the 4th major version in the Guitar Hero franchise and the first to offer a complete band mode to keep up with Rock Band. One of the first things you’ll notice about World Tour is the all new interface and added tweaks for multiple instrument ‘lanes’ on screen at the same time. If you’ve played any of the previous GH games, you’ll feel right at home in World Tour.
This was actually hidden in the press release below about No More Hero’s. I thought I would isolate it and put it here.
Tempering this good news slightly, Mr. Defries …

REDMOND, Wash., Jan. 13, 2009 – Nintendo’s new Wii Music™ game is spreading from the family room to the classroom, thanks to newly formed collaborations with select schools and educators. To help inspire students and promote an active appreciation for music, Nintendo is working with teachers to incorporate Wii™ consoles and Wii Music software into their lesson plans to offer teachers a unique tool for creativity and improvisation.
Nintendo’s collaborators in this effort include MENC: The National Association for Music Education, which is recognized as the world’s largest arts education organization and as a teaching resource for all levels from preschool to graduate school. MENC will help teachers in 51 cities across the nation integrate Wii Music into their curricula, making use of the game’s 60-plus instruments and fun array of tutorial exercises in rhythm, tempo and song structure.
Moon
– Bozon liked it – Gave the game an 8.5
– Runs 60 FPS, looks beautiful, technically awesome
– A lot of exploration
– Remote access droid is pretty cool
– Only downside is that you shoot at a lot of floating robots – Become repetitive – Worlds look the same
– Still a really fun game – pretty rewarding
– Seems to be inspired my Metroid
– Story neat as well
– Bozon thinks best FPS on DS is still Metroid Prime Hunters
– Hope to get news on Wii game soon
I’m trying something a little different for this review. Since Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon follows the same storyline in both the Wii and DS version, I’m combining the reviews into one while also explaining the unique features of each version.
Dawn of the Dragon is the 3rd game and final game in the Legend of Spyro series. The storyline revolves around Spyro recruiting the help of an unlikely ally, Cynder (a former enemy), to face Malefor, the Dark Master. Malefor has engulfed the world with evil, and Spryo must use all his power to stop the Dark Master.
One of the key elements in both the Wii and DS versions, is the ability to switch between Spyro and Cynder at any point during the game. Each character has different powers with their own unique capabilities. Spyro uses powers based on elements such as Fire, Earth, and Ice, while Cynder uses darker powers. All enemies in the game respond differently to different attacks based on their own element. So if you’re fighting an ice monster, your best bet is going to be Spyro’s Fire attacks. These powers are completely upgradeable throughout the game by gaining experience points from fallen foes. Newer attacks will produce more damage and even armor can be upgraded for both Spyro and Cynder to increase their defense stats.
By now, everyone in the games world has heard what happened to EGM and 1UP this past week. We lost one of the world’s most important gaming magazines – one …
