Something about that website screams ARG to me, but I alexa'd it and it's been up since 2000.
Hm. How did people find these files, anyway?
Someone received a survey, posted a link to the avatar picture, and then people found out how to access the other parts of the site with the other info.
I hope this stuff is real. I want that Spider-Man vs. Marvel Zombies game to be real damnit, even if the story doesn't actually fit with the comics, Its still mother fucking Spider-Man fighting mother fucking Zombies.

Lips is a music and singing game that includes 30 songs, 2 wireless interactive microphones, the ability to use and sing your own music or downloaded songs from an online service. Designed to have fun with friends, Lips scores you on your singing (pitch, rhythm, and tune) and overall performance.
Given the nature of this site doesn't it seem to anybody else like much of this stuff is probably just market research? Make a description for an awesome game, do a survey, and see how people like it?

They also have some regular advertisements. Guitar Hero 4 and Lips sound like they are coming up with advertisements for those two. Lips has also been rumoured for a while and GH4 is too late in development for them to just throw in another feature.
GH4 is supposed to cost 180 dollars and 60 without instruments. It also says there is 4vs4 online.

Lips is a music and singing game that includes 30 songs, 2 wireless interactive microphones, the ability
to use and sing your own music or download songs from an online service. Designed to have fun with friends,
Lips scores you on your singing (pitch, rhythm and tune) and your overall performance.
30 Songs:
The 30 songs include a mix of popular global songs like Madonna, and local songs specific to the United States.
2 Wireless Interactive Controllers:
Wireless Mics are interactive, with lights on the shaft of the microphone that pulse to the rhythm of your voice,
and motion sensors that allow you to dance, move or swing to score points.
Use Your Own Music:
Take songs from a CD or your Ipod, and upload them into the game. The game will reduce the vocals so you can sing
along and be heard, and score you on whether you're in tune. Lyrics can also be added directly into the song to sing along.
Download Songs:
Hundreds of music videos with lyrics are available online for a small fee, which you can sing to and be scored on.
I really don't know what to think of this. While some games and stuff sound really believable, the games on your PC is just ridiculous... But it would be pretty nice.
I wasn't paying attention until use your own music
now I am sold
The XBOX Music Creator software did the same thing. The results varied from passable to horrid. I'd wait for impressions before getting excited over this feature.
The newest issue of Game Informer has GH4 as the cover story. They said that Neversoft wouldn't reveal the "secret" guitar enhancement they came up with, but commented that they have to patent it fast because they don't want the idea being used by other companies. The speculation was that it was a slide peripheral along the neck of the guitar.
Most elaborate video game hoax ever (Phantom was a scam) or another in a long line of MS related leaks on the video game side (and this time it's not even MS's fault!)

You decide.
The website is legit, like a lot of the stuff on the website seems like it is testing the waters for certain products, shit was removed a few hours after it was discorver, there is some video game footage such as the Crucible video that can't be found elsewhere, and there is nonvideo game related footage that I don't think can be found elsewhere. I have to say that it is legit thought I'm sure a lot of it is for market research to see what games to make and how to whore out the Spider-Man franchise.
They got it all from the same site right? If one thing is right then all of it is probaly on the up and up. The source isn't exactly some small potato web blog ...
Somebody at that marketing company is in serious trouble though I suspect. As in "Pack your shit and get the fuck out" type of trouble.

If Microsoft does go to avatars, I wonder how much it will piss off the people who paid for gamerpics.

I can assure you, with 100% confidence, that it was unintentional.
I know this, because I am the guy who tipped off X360F on the Avatars.
I am not under an NDA, I am not registered to SurveySpot (which sent me the survey), and I have no idea why such vital and unprotected information was put in my inbox this morning
SurveySpot was created by Survey Sampling International, partners with the world's leading researchers since 1977. They offer interesting surveys via their research panel, and in exchange for your opinions you can earn cash and prizes. To date, they have rewarded their members over $12 million in rewards and prizes.
Some of the things are plausible (Like Fawst's mention about the magazine mentioning a similar thing) and have been rumoured before (Avatars) but some other stuff is kind of ridiculous.
Either way, I'm super hyped for E3 and I hope whatever the big news is it's not released ages away or never heard of again (Live Anywhere, I'm looking at you).

I can see how Forza 2 could be on Xbox 360 with 2 discs, I recently picked up Ghost Recon 2 - Legacy edition which came with a shit tonne of content you download off the disc, as though it came from the live marketplace and then the first disc reads the base content alnd loads the rest.
Definately not implausable, I can't see why more developers did not do this.

The Call of Duty stuff was confirmed bullshit by 420.
The PS2 port I mean. The concept stuff for COD5s box isnt even news. Heck, that stuff is publicly hosted on Activision servers now anyways. Concept art for a boxart is not something anyone cares about.

Still, one can dream. Why isn't anyone talking about this potentially awesome rumor?

Oh ffs, this is my "what to do after I graduate" idea that they're stealing despite never having written it down or mentioned it to anyone.
Bastards.
Intriguing.
Since it was a comic series, it could happen, right? Are the comic character rights similar to that for games?
You decide.
everything? or just the avatars

Ditto. Finally, a game that will allow me to indulge in my fascination with Meat Loaf.

I will destroy my voice trying to sing dethklok
Honestly, I wonder what sort of method the game will use to lower a song's vocal track. Also, how to break it.
Avatars could be cool if they play their cards right.
Guitar Hero 2, Rock the 80's (Shut up! It's got I Wanna Rock damn it!), possibly Guitar Hero 1, and possibly DLC might become available on the PC.
Please let this be true oh my fuck.
