Bad Jokes, Good Games At 3rd Party Press Conferences 14

The big three hardware makers aren't the only ones to offer events with uncomfortable seating this week. Activision was probably the winner of the 'most confusingly run event' award, as their welcome demonstrations of Call of Duty 4, Guitar Hero III, and Tony Hawk's Proving Ground were interspersed with walk-ons by folks like Stan Lee, Slash, and Tony Hawk himself. Jamie Kennedy apparently MC'd, with lackluster results. THQ's event, meanwhile, offered several kinds of sweaty men and uninterested female models, while also showing off new products like Conan, Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon, and De Blob. Throughout, the company pledged heavy support for the Wii. Midway's event was much more to the point, with news of a downloadable Stranglehold demo coming in August, the title Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Prom announced, and a bit about Blacksite Area 51. There will be a demo for that game too.

    This is been known for months. The game is gonna be horrible. But I'll still buy it, obviously. Along with a lot of pot that i will be needing to make this game enjoyable.

    GNR frontman Axl Rose was also present at the event promoting the new game "Egomanical Lead Singer," which makes extensive use of the Nintendo Wii's Nunchaku dongle. Players' gestures can be translated into many in-game moves, including 17 distinct and ridiculous poses, 4 variations of flipping the bird at the crowd and 7 different attacks with a bottle of Jack Daniels.



    The game will be sold in a bundle with Duke Nukem Forever and released at the same time as the new GNR album "Chinese Democracy."
