Hard rockers Linkin Park have released a game and it's a top down shooter set in an apocalyptic Earth where you unlock songs from their album as you play.
Linkin Park - yes the band - has released a pretty decent Borderlands inspired action game called LP Recharge - Wastelands and Grab It has been playing it and has detailed its first impressions in this preview.
Not a big fan of the band, but it is awesome to see music artists putting money into the scene!
Here's some LP trivia: Chester is now basically the lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots. Makes sense, since his voice is eerily similar to the Tiny Music-era sound.
They also did a music video to "Guilty All The Same" using Project Spark iirc.
Love these guys, they have some awesome lyrics in thier songs, unlike the other shitty people who sing all their life about fucking and describing female body parts in all ways possible.
I'm not much of a Linkin Park fan to be honest, I will stick with RATM, but this is great idea for a game and I am stoked that it is decent. will hopefully encourage more bands to do the same.
I'm loving this trend of musicians jumping on board the iOS train. Pretty awesome way to express their art. Doesn't hurt that the game is half-decent too :P
Reminds me of the cancelled Metallica game. That was going to compete with Twisted Metal.
I'm skipping this and waiting for the Limp Bizkit game.
'Hard Rockers' that's a very 'grandpa' way of describing Linkin Park. Glad the game is good though :)
