In appreciation of Guitar Hero and Halo fans alike, Neversoft, Bungie, Activision/RedOctane, and Microsoft have all joined forces to bring players the iconic Halo theme (MJOLNIR Mix) as a free playable song for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, exclusively for Xbox 360 from Microsoft.

This doesn't check out anywhere. I checked all over the place for confirmation. This sounds a lot like the CVG rumor in feb that stated this track would be a free download for GH II. Anyone else remember that? If not, here's the link...

You mean except for the press release Activision put out and the two (and counting) Alternative Sources for this story?

Wait, I've got it, it's all lies by Bill Gates himself to make the Xbox 360 look better than the PS3.

vgn245997d ago

Only a flat out moron would assume that by me (an Xbox site owner)questioning an unconfirmed (at the time) rumor, I'm saying it's BS to make the PS3 look bad. That's about the dumbest thing I've read on this site. If you automatically take stuff at face value, I pity you and whatever off spring you spawn in the future.

There was NO confirmation when I questioned this article. And loot-ninja and xboxlivenation both get all there news off n4g. So I'm still a little hesitant.

SwiderMan5997d ago (Edited 5997d ago )

AcFreeze, the confirmation came in the form of an Activision PR's press release this morning. You didn't see it on other sites because I just happened to be the first site to post it. Please don't "report" my news articles just because it's not on another site.

I don't post rumors without a rumor tag. I strive to make the news on Gaming Target 100% accurate, which this was. Thanks.

vgn245997d ago

Don't get your panties in a bunch. What I reported was a fair, unbiased, and non-offensive report. I didn't call you a liar. I questioned the validity is all. If it's against the F'ing law to question a report from a site I've never heard of when the story is very similar to a story that turned out to be BS earlier in the year, than too bad.

Again, I simply questioned it. Nothing personal, but I can't be expected to take some unknown site at face value. It was odd, because no one at Teamxbox, Xboxfamily, VGC, or GameZone got a press release. Activision's media section doesn't have this press release. Activision's PR site doesn't have this press release. And the 3 or four sources posting the stories have the same "half" press release written in an informal press release style.

Considering each of those sites have an Activision rep assigned to them, it's a little weird. The 4 sites I see with the story are famous for jacking n4g stories.

edit:
TeamXbox just posted the story with no press release. Cesar didn't get one either. strange. Yet I'm still not calling you a liar bro. So chill your sh!t

I don't know how possible this would be on the Wii (probably not possible at all), but Nintendo should so do this with the Mario theme. It would kick ass.

In fact, I would buy Guitar Hero: Favorite Nintendo Franchises Edition in a heartbeat.

Activision, make it so!

vgn245997d ago

1. Look at the time of my post.

2. Don't be so simple as to judge my platform preference off my avatar. I run an Xbox site genius. So before you automatically think I'm a Nintendo fanboy, (or PS3 fanboy based on your first reply), think or maybe check my profile.

When I posted my comment, there was no word of this. And the fact that this was a rumor for GH II, gives me the right to question the legitimacy. Now that OFFICIAL word has come out, it's a fair article.

But do you know how stupid you make 360 supporters look when you automatically bash other consoles or call people fanboys without looking first? I doubt a PS3 or Wii fanboy would run an Xbox fansite. Now go ahead and pull your foot out of your mouth or more likely edit your posts so people don't see how ignorant you look.

KingJFS5997d ago

What are you babbling about? All I said was that a Guitar Hero-based game using the themes of Nintendo franchises would be awesome.

What does any of that have to do with your "preferred platform" or whether Activision had posted this news on their PR site (which always takes a day or so anyway).

You sound like a raving loon.

PS360PCROCKS5997d ago

Lol AWESOME!!! I LOVE the theme song to Halo, it's so Epic!

Double-Edged5997d ago

it is.
but what is better is the theme song from street fighter stages.

imagine playing GUILE'S THEME SONG!!!

SONIC BOOM!

IamTheStorm815997d ago (Edited 5997d ago )

Great news!

I thought that song was cool, and I very much appreciate it being a free download.

I can't wait until tomorrow!

EDIT: I love that some jealous jerk-off marks "disagree" on all positive replies to this topic. What is it? Jealousy, ignorance, fanboyism...what? Grow up douche.

Animagi5997d ago

Hmm. That's pretty lame. *waits for "Disagree" response*

eclipsegryph5997d ago

Not that I'm the one who clicked "Disagree" there, as you're right, it's a pretty pathetic thing for someone to "disagree" with another person's happiness, but what's the point in getting upset about it? Is there a system on N4G which tracks each person's number of "Agree"s and "Disagree"s?

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii104d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies104d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer141d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog141d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned141d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c141d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb141d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72141d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman141d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos140d ago (Edited 140d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows140d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72152d ago

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai152d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ152d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil152d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
