Rockstar Announces Table Tennis for 360 (http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/9262/Rockstar+Announces+Table+Tennis+for+360/)
"Well, you may well have read the news elsewhere that the glorious 'can’t-do-any-wrong' Rockstar Games has just announced its first next-generation title for Xbox 360 this May. Heads have been scratched and noses scrunched in confusion the world over as news leaked out over the weekend about their forthcoming Table Tennis game for the Xbox 360.
Speaking to a Rockstar Games rep earlier today, SPOnG was told that the new title was certainly something of a departure for the company. This, dear reader, is what is commonly known as an understatement.
Table Tennis is being developed by Rockstar San Diego, the creative house behind the highly successful Red Dead Revolver and Midnight Club racing series, and is expected to ship to North American retailers on May 22, 2006 for a MSRP of $39.99 and to European shelves on May 26, 2006 for a price of €39.99/ £29.99.
Yes, that’s right. The GTA geniuses are turning their hands to a bit of ping-pong, and it's a full, proper game and not a mini-game or anything along those lines, as a number of websites have inferred. Plus, they're not doing it by halves either. Check these screens and you have to admit that they do actually look pretty intriguing. With so many sports games-by-numbers on the shelves, perhaps it’s about time for someone to break the mould with a truly fun game about a fun, if somewhat ‘minority’ sport."
