Motamedia has unveiled the vehicle advertising plan for Activision's forthcoming Nintendo DS edition of its hugely popular music game - Guitar Hero On Tour.
A fleet of 30- and 40-foot trucks will carry advertising for the game, which is out now in the UK, and hopes to reach "a wide audience in areas largely uncluttered with other forms of advertising," the company said.
"We are delighted to be part of the nationwide launch of Guitar Hero on Tour and to be assisting such a leading player in the worldwide games industry," Motamedia MD Colin Smith added.
"Our advertising is particularly suitable for a game that can be played on the move, and Activision's state of the art graphics have created a particularly striking campaign."
Tim Lloyd, planner at Starcom MediaVest commented: "Guitar Hero on Tour will appeal to a broad mix of players and as a result, we wanted to use a number of different promotional devices to reach our target audience." ...by Published on August 7th, 2008 19:37

505 Games is bringing Wii cheerleading game We Cheer to Wii in early 2009.
This Namco Bandai outing turns two Wiimotes into a pair of pom-poms, which are waved around in time to music on the screen.
That music, incidentally, features the likes of teeny-boppers Hilary Duff, KC & The Sunshine Band and Paramore.
Cheerleaders can be created from scratch and then customised with various provocative outfits, and additional dancers can be unlocked later in the game to form squads.
We Cheer has a Workout Mode with tailored exercise programs and a virtual fitness instructor, as well as a Cheer Off multiplayer mode for two or four players.
What do we want? We Cheer gallery. When do we want it? Fired? ...by Published on August 7th, 2008 19:34

A consumer survey might have given away the first details on Rockstar's DS Grand Theft Auto game, Chinatown Wars.
The survey asked a number of specific questions about an "upcoming game," with the details sounding all-too familiar.
The details were originally posted on UGO, but the site has since removed them. You can't beat the internet that easily though. Destructoid reprinted it all. Wired's got a pretty good recap of events leading to the story being taken down too.
If the information is to be believed, the game will have an open world, changing weather and traffic patterns, a mature story line, wi-fi multiplayer, 70+ missions, 20+ hours of gameplay and stylus based mini-games. Impressive.
Obviously, this is all filed under rumour and speculation for now and nothing's been confirmed on the game by Rockstar at all. You'll have to wait and see, we're afraid. ...by Published on August 6th, 2008 22:51

Telltale Games says the first episode of WiiWare and PC adventure series Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People will be available on 11th August.
Homestar Ruiner is the first of five planned instalments (one each month) based on the apparently funny Homestar Runner animated internet series. Confusing, but keep up.
Strong Bad, a boxer who wears a mask, confesses he is "charming", "suave", "muscular", and "awesome". His plan, in episode one, is to win a Race to the End of the Race - a scheme which gets messed up when an unwanted visitor comes to stay.
Telltale, of Sam & Max renown, is working closely with the Homestar Runner creators to make sure everything is accurate and hilarious.
PC pre-orders for the entire Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People are open on the Telltale website now. One episode is USD 8.95 (GBP 4.50), or the entire series can be snaffled up for USD 34.95 (GBP 17.50).
On WiiWare, each episode costs 1000 Wii Points (approx GBP 7.00 / EUR 10.00). ...by Published on August 6th, 2008 22:47

Tetris Party is on its way to WiiWare, and it bizarrely supports the Wii Balance Board.
Coming in October of this year, the developer promises that the game will feature 18 game modes with ten never-before-seen single and multiplayer variations of Tetris.
Online modes include World Battle and Friend Battle, where up to six people can play simultaneously online.
Other new variants include Stage Racer, Wii Balance Board Tetris Marathon, Field Climber, and Duel Space. We really want to see how the Balance Board marathon works. ...by Published on August 6th, 2008 21:50
