Yes, they helped pioneer the genre in Japan, however, with games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band on the scene, Rock Revolution has an uphill battle.

Rumor – New PSP model 3000 in production
It's taken me a little while to warm up to the PSP, but thanks to the folks at Square Enix and a copy of Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, I've barely put it down lately.

Tomb Raider: Underworld trailer brings down the house
Tomb Raider is one of those games that I loved a long time ago. The first and second games were awesome, but I sort of lost interest for a while. A few months ago I decided to pick up Legend, which was a pretty decent game, and gave me hope for the series (despite some rather annoying bugs).
