Whilst rummaging the GAF I came across this thread (via GamePolitics) about a new law just passed in Venezuela, which bans the sale of “any violent videogame”.
I couldn’t help but be struck by this quote:
Venezuela’s parliament has approved a law that lumps in toy weapons with videogames and bans the import, production or sale of both [...]

GameInformer magazine apparently has a scoop in their print edition on what’s going on with the (strangely imminent) Guitar Hero IV. Guess what? They’ve decided that a whole band of instruments is a great idea!
That means you will see drum and microphone peripherals for GH4, just like Rock Band. And considering Activision’s cockpunchingly-retarded stance on [...]

This is a public service announcement:

The box is a lie.
