If you need something to tide you over before the June 29 release of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, this might be the ticket.

We were right!

When we reported on the PSN Release Schedule leak story and the possible truth behind it, the dates and content listed were still only speculation. After recent revelations, it’s now clear that the schedule is in fact true. Read more…

Geoff Keighley of Gametrailers promised “something special” from Insomniac and Sony in this Friday’s GT:TV episode, along with a number of other exclusives (Star Wars: The Force Unleashed being the stand-out.)

You’ll be able to buy the new Warhawk Pack very soon – in April actually (adding more evidence to the leaked release schedule) and we can provide you with some nouveaux screenshots.  Sadly importers of the game will once again find it hard to buy the pack. At least there’s a free patch. Read more…

Or even that Rayman, that little guy with detached limbs, was jumping onto your portable machine? I think you’d be a tad surprised. Sony hasn’t announced any such marriage, but from my snooping, I’d hazard a guess that both will be on your PSP very soon. Read more…
