Sounds like Activision's planning the E3 party to end all E3 parties -- with a rumoured $6million event on the cards

Held inside the Staples Centre (actually, y'know, inside it), word is Activision's enlisted the likes of Lady GaGa, Usher, Jane's Addiction, and - according to his Twitter page - Eminem for the LA based event. Madness. VG247 also speculate there will be a skate-ramp with Tony Hawk..

Oooooooh man, DJ Hero 2 is a real product, and it sounds kind of amazing

Like literally sounds amazing. Leaked mixes include a Deadmau5 reimagining of Lady GaGa's "Just Dance" and some remixed Pussycat Dolls. It also looks like Activision are going for more of a party feel with DJ Hero 2, offering karaoke lyrics at the top of the screen. But, as you know, DJ Hero is really all about the..

Activision's unveiled the official website for United Front's upcoming True Crime: Hong Kong

The website reveals a few details about the game's cast, and there's a few new in-game screenshots of the reboot. You can get the goods through here. No doubt Activision will have a thing or two to say about the game at E3.

Activision's announced that Modern Warfare 2's second map-pack will hit the PlayStation Store on July 6th (or July 7th for those of you in Europe)

The pack's been available on the XBOX 360 for a week or so now, but was obviously delayed on the PlayStation 3 due to Microsoft's timed-exclusivity dollars. Still, July 6th is only a few weeks away. The pack will set you back a whopping $15, which will..

A job listing for a senior level designer at Neversoft has revealed that the Guitar Hero studio is working on a new shooter

You want more details? You can't have them because there aren't any. Speculation hints at a long overdue sequel to GuN, but the Call Of Duty name has also been tossed around. Y'know, if Red Dead Redemption hadn't come out last month we'd still be pining for a sequel to last..

This debut trailer for DJ Hero 2 will tell you everything you need to know

The game's designed for c0ol people (not greasy metal-heads), features microphone and dual-deck support... and it also has Lady GaGa in it. That mix sounds kind of rad, yo. We've placed the trailer after the jump courtesy of IGN. We literally cannot wait. <object id="vid_57891"..

If this morning's story wasn't confirmation enough, Activision's just formally announced DJ Hero 2

First details reveal that there will be over 85 artists involved in the game, with a total of 70 mashups included. Artists name-dropped include Lady GaGa, The Chemical Brothers, Dr. Dre Metallica (?) and more. There'll be all new multiplayer modes in the sequel, including a DJ Battle Mode which will..

Sorry, excuse us a moment while we run outside and dance to the hits of Madonna - DJ Hero 2 is finally official

The over-priced (but totally awesome) mix 'em up was overshadowed by a stonking price-tag when it launched last year, but with the peripheral already in a number of homes, we're looking forward to simply picking up DJ Hero 2 on disc. We want more tracks, y'see. And we want a little less..

These are the new guitars set to launch alongside Guitar Hero: Warriors Of Rock

The new game will feature 90-songs, aswell as some new game modes, and the biggest guitar redesign since the series' inception. As Gizmodo report, the big change here is the repositioning of the guitar's electronic innards into the controller's neck. This allows for a lot of aesthetic changes to be made by the body,..

Call Of Duty: Black Ops' campaign will not be playable in co-op according to Treyarch's Mark Lamia

He explained that "single-player is the epic, cinematic, seat-of-your-pants thrill ride that you star in," while the game will offer seperate, more focused co-op modes for up to four players. It's sounding more like Black Ops' co-op mode will be like Modern Warfare 2's Spec-Ops, but Lamia..

Do you like Hans Zimmer? Do you like music scored to the images of guns, explosions and dead bodies? Then Modern Warfare 2's soundtrack - which has just hit iTunes for $9

99 - may very well be your cup of tea. To be fair, it was a pretty good soundtrack.

Last month saw the release of two hotly anticipated arcade racers

Sadly, too much of a good thing can lead to a difficult choice, but worry not, we're here to help. Marking the first of our Playstation face-offs, we take a look at the pros and cons of Bizarre Creations' Blur and Disney Interactive's Split/Second. Blur on Playstation 3 Review - 4/4 Split/Second on Playstation 3 Review - 2/4 Concept..

This Transformers: War For Cybertron commercial says a lot about the game

Firstly, Soundwave is actually a boom-box. Score one to developers High Moon. Secondly, Starscream is a whiny annoying idiot. Score two to developers High Moon. And finally - the ad features Stan Bush's "The Touch". Score three to developers High Moon. Everytime we hear that song we're transported to a dodgy VHS..

Burnout Paradise predates this website

It was released in January 2008, at a time when I didn't have to play every game that released. I picked it up sometime in September. Being a fan of arcade racers, it still bemuses me that I didn't buy it earlier, and I honestly can't for the life of me recall why. But I didn't - I picked it up late. At the time trophies were new, and Criterion had pledged a..

It's hard to deny the value of a game that can provide excellent single-player, multiplayer and co-operative campaigns

On the whole, the Call Of Duty titles typically manage that Neapolitan of experiences, without particularly shirking quality in any area. The announcement of Call Of Duty: Black Ops' four-player co-operative mode is strengthened by Treyarch's decision to have a full, separate team..

As part of an embargo-lift around the world today, Treyarch's revealed that their upcoming Call Of Duty: Black Ops title will feature four-player online co-op

VG247's posted up a heap of Call Of Duty: Black Ops screenshots, aswell as some hands-on impressions if that's your bag

The screens showcase a variety of environments, confirming that the upcoming Treyarch shooter will be a mixed bag of locales. The whole thing's looking very pretty too.

Blur and its Mario Kart-rippin' buddies have taken to the Old Street Magistrates Court in London to promote Activision's racers

The game's out today in the UK today. The painting took over 30 hours to complete and was painted by British artist Gary Nolan. If you've yet to see the advert it's immitating, click through here. It's essential.

Well we've been saying it for a while, and it sounds like Treyarch truly believe it -- emerging from the shadows of the Infinity Ward love-affair are Treyarch, a developer who has been nothing but loyal and dignified in their development duties

But perhaps tired of being shoved under the rug by their counter-parts, Treyarch's clearly ready to take the helm, and shout from the rooftops about their..
