New Releases 6/29-7/5: Rockin’ Paws Edition


Sure, it may be the Same Old Song and Dance, but Guitar Hero and Aerosmith have jumped Back in the Saddle, creating an interesting hybrid. Jaded critics might call this game Crazy, while fans may find it Amazing, but we wonder if this title has What it Takes to become a bestseller.

Pick of the Week: We’d rather step into the shoes of prodigal surgeon Derek Styles, then the well-worn Crocs of Steven Tyler any day. So this weeks prescription is for hourly doses of Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2, while avoiding alcohol, sedatives and other rock star cliches.

  1. Man, you guys are on a roll! Cats, rockers, and game doctors. hahaha

  2. Wow, so many bad puns I had to read it twice.

  3. How long did it take you to “PUMP” out this post?

  4. What, no “Walk this Way” edition?

  5. I almost missed the dollar signs in the cat’s yellow eyes. You guys must like the cover of Playboy where you have to find the rabbit ears.

  6. I read this cause I don’t wanna miss a thing.

  7. I could never stand Aerosmith.

  8. Best thing that guy ever did is create Liv Tyler!

  9. I liked the first Trauma Center game for Wii- it’s like ‘Operation’ for adults.

  10. Great pic; keep ’em coming.

  11. Thanks for including PC releases.

  12. Hahaha, I wouldn’t have noticed that if you didn’t point it out.

  13. Nothing for me this week.

  14. Hahaha great pic.

  15. Those dudes look like ladies.

  16. TurricansBodyguard

    Wat, No black cats? thats racist!

  17. Hail to the Chimp might be worth a go.

  18. Note to Activision- Will I buy this lame game?

    Dream on!

  19. no RAGDOLL physics jokes?

  20. Purr Pals? Why do they make so many animal games?

  21. I happen to think Steven is hot, and I like Crocs!

    I’m female, BTW.

  22. I’m amazed Aerosmith is still relevant in the year 2008.

    Do most kids even know who they are?

  23. I just got it, all those phrases are Aerosmith songs. I wouldn’t feel so bad, if they were written before I was born.

  24. Kiss should have a Guitar Hero game. And it should include the Gene Simmons leather boots as a preorder bonus.

  25. Red Hot Chili Peppers would make a great guitar/bass hero game.

  26. Sublime, Guns and Roses, and the Black Crowes would makes great guitar hero titles, if anyone from Activision is listening.

  27. I hear they are working on a Beatles game.

  28. I went into Gamestop here (TX), and the employees told me they didn’t sell a single copy of this game.

    That doesn’t look good.

  29. No PSP games this week; is it me or is the PSp software market not doing so well?

  30. WTF WTF?

    This doesn’t work with the rock band guitars!!! Its telling me that an “unsupported peripheral” is inserted.

    Screw you activision, and you’re petty ways.

  31. Really can anyone confirm this?

  32. Yes, it true I just read this on Joystiq. (So it must be true, right? hahaha)

    This is bullshit!

  33. What complete crap. Activision and EA are too little whining pissy children.

    If the industry wants respect, they’ll have to stop these little rifts.

  34. I got an ailment only the Trauma Center nerves can help.

  35. Im still waiting for Guitar Hero- Dead Kennedys

  36. Billionaire Ben

    I rock the crocs all the time, comfortable shoes, people!

  37. Is Liv Tyler an unlockable character?

  38. Wow, Shipwreck seemed to borrow (read plagiarize) your ideas:

  39. The only way I’ll buy a rock guitar game is if Wyld Stallyns are included.
