Guitar Hero III Activision - Image 1Rock Band (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii) may have its new Fall Out Boy tracks, but Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PC) also scored its own slew of new downloadable tracks courtesy of British rock band Muse, currently featured in the game’s latest three-song pack. The tracks included this time are as follows:

  • Exo-Politics
  • Supermassive Black Hole
  • Stockholm Syndrome

The Muse song pack will be released on Might 8. As for it’s pricing, it can be safe to assume that the pack will be sold with the usual 500 MS Points price tag, as with the other song packs released for the game. It’s a pack that certainly adds a bit more Brit rock flavor to the current GHIII list of songs, so why not give it a try?

On the other hand, Rock Band will eventually have Muse track “Hysteria” added to its library of downloadable tracks, giving Rock Band players their own dose of Muse.

Buy: [ Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360), (Wii) ]
Buy: [ Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (PS3), (Computer) ]

Lara Croft - Image 1SCi Entertainment Group CEO Jane Cavanagh has rolled out the company’s 2007 annual report. The document revealed quite a bit of information about what SCi has lined up in the foreseeable future.

The report showed that new additions to the Tomb Raider and Hitman franchises as well as sequels for Just Cause and Battlestations: Midway are already in development. SCi is the parent company of Eidos Interactive, the firm in charge of the creation of these titles.

Does this mean that we’re going to see these games within the year? Perhaps. However, the report did mention that the games are “for 2008 and beyond.” Also, we’re not sure if this report was published before the massive management coup back in January, where Cavanagh was told to step down with “immediate effect.”

Still, we wouldn’t put it past the company to release one or two of these games before the year is over.

Buy: [Tomb Raider: Anniversary (Xbox 360), (PSP), (Computer), (Wii)]
Buy: [Tomb Raider: Legend (Xbox 360), (DS), (PC), (PSP)]
