Why Robin Makes Batman Better Weird Al’s got nothing on this Minecraft-themed parody of Coldplay’s “Viva la Vida”. Actually, singer TryHardNinja sounds a little bit like he’s channelling Mr Yankovic. Either way, this is pretty cool.
March brings a slew of fixes, features, and fan favourites to the Xbox 360 karaoke game Lips, with an early March title update delivering improved scoring and international leaderboards, just in time for Coldplay.
Get ready Guitar Hero II fans, for your doom (at least according to Luke) comes on June 19th, the official release date for the Coldplay track pack on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. The three-pack of songs includes the single “Violet Hill” from their upcoming album Viva la Vida, due out June 17th, along with two of the band’s older tracks, “God Put a Smile Upon Your Face” form A Rush of Blood to the Head and “Yellow”. Seriously, “Yellow”? Did that even have guitar in it? I’d head over to Amazon and check out the excerpt from the song to check but that would mean I voluntarily listened to it, and I made a pledge never to do so again after they played it on the local “alternative” radio station for the millionth time.
Anyone overly excited by this track pack? Speak up, so we might poke you with sticks and try to figure out what makes you tick.
Coldplay are going to be in Guitar Hero. Coldplay. I’ll give you a moment to emit a deep, remorseful sigh. As part of the promotional circus surrounding their latest album, the song “Violet Hill” will be made available as DLC for Guitar Hero III, though a date for its release has yet to be specified. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin says of the song, in all seriousness, “It’s not [all]about the piano shit”. Come now, Activision. It wasn’t enough to kill Guitar Hero, you now gotta whizz on its freshly-covered grave?
