Car games need a good soundtrack to cruise to, so Midnight Club LA needs some quality tunes. Rockstar has today announced the highlights package and being an LA game it’s very much focused on the west coast scene. A few highlights from the highlights (that probably show up my personal musical biases) include Tricky, Modeselektor, The Chemical Brothers, Bloc Party, Beck, NIN, and Ice Cube. Full list is over the hump. More »
This trailer for Midnight Club Los Angeles shows off the return of special abilities: Zone, Agro, and Roar are back in the game, and the ‘all-new EMP’ to send out a disabling shockwave. Nice. Have to say, when I play arcade racers I very much like it when I get to weaponize! More »
What is it with games promos and junk food at the moment? McDonald’s are all over LEGO: Batman, KFC have their greasy fingers on Guitar Hero – now Pizza Hut are making Rockstar one with everything. It’s like they think we are all lardy fatsos or something.
To ‘celebrate’ (i.e. promote) the launch of Midnight Club LA, Rockstar are working with Pizza Hut (one of the companies product-placed extensively in the game) to offer a custom Saleen Mustang worth $100,000 to gamers who enter via the ‘Hut website from September 22nd. A Saleen Mustang is apparently some kind of car. I honestly have no idea.
“Video game enthusiasts love pizza and are some of our most loyal customers.” said a ‘Hut spokesman.
Alright – we get it. I’ll be renewing my gym membership on payday. Jeez.
Want to give the latest game in the Midnight Club series a whirl? Rockstar has let us know that it’s taking an exclusive pre-release demo around Australia (well, Sydney and Melbourne so far) to give fans and curious gamers a look-see. It’ll feature the Saleen 302E, which I believe is a car.
Here are the dates:
30th August: Shadow Wars – Manning Bar Sydney University 13th-14th September: Auto Salon – Newcastle entertainment centre 25th-28th September: Royal Melbourne Show – Royal Melbourne Showgrounds Epsom Road, Ascot Vale 4th-5th October: Auto Salon – Melbourne Exhibition Centre Southbank
