Looks like Joe Wilson isn’t the only one shouting “you lie!” In a response to Courtney Love’s allegations of suing the “S” out of Activision because of Kurt Cobain’s likeliness being used in Guitar Hero 5, Activision pushed out a statement, stating that Courtney Love is lying.

“Guitar Hero secured the necessary licensing rights from the Cobain estate in a written agreement signed by Courtney Love to use Kurt Cobain’s likeness as a fully playable character in Guitar Hero(r) 5,” states Activision to Joystiq. However, in the original report, it said that Activision played a “Bully['s] part”, and that she never gave her approval for Kurt Cobain to be used in Guitar Hero 5. Anyway, it looks like someone has some explaining to do.

Ever since the MechWarrior 4 expansion pack released in 2002, fans have been waiting, hoping for another MechWarrior title to cool their Mech fighting needs. Now, seven years later, their prayers, and hopes, have been answered.

First shown via a teaser trailer, we can now confirm that there is a new MechWarrior title in development at Piranha Games, who recently HELPED with the newest Transformer title.

Anyway, this new title is simply entitled MechWarrior, and will serve as a reboot for the franchise. You’ll still be piloting mechs, but the developers reckon that current console technology will for the first time let you feel like you’re really behind the sticks of a giant fighting robot.

They’re also shooting for a “dynamic battlefield”, and rather than feature a food chain of mechs, instead want to let players choose a style of mech and then upgrade that to suit their tastes as they progress through the game. MechWarrior is coming to the PC and Xbox 360, with no details yet on either a publisher or a release time frame.

Rrr… It seems that Disney and Propaganda are working on an on-world action-RPG using the tag name Pirates of the Caribbean for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 entitled Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned.

Anyway, Armada of the Damned takes place before the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and brands players will the ability to make on moral decisions, build their characters, vessels – of course – with the add zombie Pirate fighting.

“We want to make sure our game creates a sense a freedom in how you decide to live your pirate life,” said Alex Peters in an interview with IGN.

“We are trying to make experiences in the Caribbean similar to those featured in the movies so you can expect to see some supernatural elements mixed in with realism.”

When continuing, the game’s director also said that the game’s action takes place on both land and sea, while players interact with the nation powers who inhabit the Caribbean. These such encounters change your loyalties and choices over the course of the game.

Max Payne 3 is scheduled to hit the PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 this winter – which Rockstar Games announced this morning.

The game, Max Panye 3, will stars series know main character, Max Payne, in where he has now lefted New York and his job at the NYPD behind. When openning this new area in his life, he is somehow betrayed and “trapped [with]in a city full of violence” – sounds like a typical day in the life of Max Payne.

However, it now appears like if we’d be getting older Max Payne, much like what happen to Snake in Metal Gear.

“We’re starting a new chapter of Max’s life with this game. This is Max as we’ve never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever. We experience the downward spiral of his life after the events of Max Payne 2 and witness his last chance for salvation.”

Since leaving the NYPD and New York itself behind, Max has drifted from bad to worse. Double-crossed and a long way from home, Max is now trapped in a city full of violence and bloodshed, using his weapons and instincts in a desperate search for the truth and a way out.

Update: When taking a closer look at the scan, we found that there was also was the mention of the PlayStation Network. So it maybe coming to the PlayStation Network also – to download.

Original: I guest you should stop wondering what Tecmo’s special announcement is going to be, in the latest issue of  ‘a Japanese gaming magazine’, which means its Famitsu, it revealed the development of Ninja Gaiden Σ II.

According to Famitsu, the game is coming exclusively to the PlayStation 3 and it will not be a port – just like its predecessor. The game will be directed and produced by Yosuke Hayashi, director of the first Ninja Gaiden Σ, and supported by Team Ninja. However, Ninja Gaiden II was designed by Tomonobu Itagaki, who has since left Team Ninja – I think I’ll skip on the details.

Ninja Gaiden Σ II offers lots of new features and new content, which include new weapons, new bosses, and a exclusive playable character ~ Rachel. They also revealed that the game will be revealed in next weeks issue of Famitsu. Also the game will be out autumn of this year.

For a game that has so little hype, it seems that Ready 2 Rumble Revolution has the chance to be one of the greatest Wii titles of this year. I know, I know. It isn’t as good looking as MadWorld, but if they don’t mess it up it can, at least, be good. And just so that we have a solid back story here’s a list of reasons why.

The family element: Okay, we all know that people in your family don’t know alot about video games, or atleast not as much as you do, and knowing them they will buy the game for you.

Larger list of playable characters: Being the third game in the series you know there isn’t going to be a short list of characters.

Funny looking people: I don’t mean to be mean, but who doesn’t want to mess up the face’s of funny looking characters? Let’s face it, you all want to pick on these characters because they look funny, just look at the picture I used for this article, doesn’t it make you want to beat him up?

The BIG Las Vegas Showdown: Personally, I have never been to Las Vegas so I’m thinking that when this game comes out I can make a character and take him, or her, all the way to ‘the BIG Las Vegas showdown’.

Controls: Being, what is one of the key parts of the game, this game can really be very strong on the controls area mainly because it uses the Wii control system from it’s a boxing game.

I know this list isn’t going to win you over, but if it doesn’t do good in all these areas along with the family fun factor it can’t be the on of the best Wii titles this year. So please don’t suck Ready 2 Rumble Revolution.
