Do you belt out Culture Club’s Karma Chameleon in the shower? Do you listen to the The Cure’s Friday I’m In Love while you are driving to town for the weekend? Is Sinead O’ Connor’s Nothing Compares to You your ultimate heartbreak song?
If you answered yes to these questions then you are a bonafide 80’s music freak. Being a fan of 80’s music doesn’t mean that you had to be born in the decade. In fact, more and more 80’s tunes’ fanatics are being born by rummaging through their parents’ old records or being exposed to 80’s music through the Internet.
Unfortunately, the 80’s are long over and if you’re like most fans then you are probably thinking that today’s bands and musical artists simply can’t compare. The only times you can get to sing and listen to your favorite 80’s songs is through karaoke, 80’s nights in bars and 80’s compilation CDs. Well, if you play videogames then there is about to be one more way that you can relive the glorious musical past and that is through the game that ESRB is currently developing.
Prepare for Lips: I (Heart) the 80’s. The game is pretty much still under wraps for the most part but the word out on the street is that two major 80’s hits that will be included in the game are 80’s staples Super Freak by Rick James and Roxanne by none other than The Police. The game is also predicted to show plenty of music videos that depict scantily clad men and women doing sexily choreographed dance moves. Ah, just like the good old days.

If you have always been a die-hard God of War fan then you probably know that the popular game is about to come to the end. However, developers are saying that the franchise of the Kratos epic tale is not over. Some fans are speculating that this reported ending is just being used as a publicity stunt for the upcoming installment but Steve Caterson (senior producer of God of War III) begs to differ.

According to Caterson, cliché as it may sound, his team is “constantly pushing” themselves. Caterson also recalls spending three entire years working on God of War III, not to mention the seven more years he devoted to developing the entire series of God of War. He also says that although his team is looking forward to working on the next big project, the team is also determined to take their time. Caterson also shares with fans that Dead Space has been the only game that he has finished playing over the last several years. Caterson also wistfully states that it would be nice if he can take some time to sit down and play videogames himself, if only just to see what other developers are up to.

Caterson was also asked if the next project of Sony Santa Monica will also be another installment of God of War. Caterson responded by reiterating that God of War III was the last installment in the trilogy and the finale left no cliffhanger or any more questions to be answered. He also expressed his interest on doing something different, but still admitted that the franchise might be reincarnated in the future. Good news for Kratos fans all over the world.
