Our good friends over at NCompass threw the official launch party for Gutar Hero: World Tour for Activision and Best Buy. The logo lock-up we did for Best Buy / Activision was literally everywhere, but somehow out of the 3 iPhone photos that turned out, you can’t see it anywhere. oh well. crazy big party, and the new game looks sick.

Thanks to Scott from Activision for the extra passes and the NCompass crew for taking care of us.

But I gotta say.. who let the Smashing Pumpkins play 20 minutes of straight up noise in their set? Ouch. That was a bit brutal. But otherwise, good times!

Darren & Simon have a strange relationship…

The main game-play room and open bar..

Andrew, our new studio partner and head of Japs Ltd, looking very serious (and blurry – thanks iPhone).
