PopStar Guitar Adds More Early Teen Favorites

As much as I like to make fun of XS Games' PopStar Guitar for even existing, I can't shake the feeling that if I were 20 years younger or so I would really get a kick out of their track listing. They've just revealed five new original master recordings for the game, two from Fall Out Boy, one from Paramore, and two from the All-American Rejects, joining a lineup packed with tunes from The Jonas Brothers, Hannah "Stop Calling Me That" Montana, Maroon 5, and Three Doors Down. The track list reads like an iTunes shopping list for creepy internet men who want to pretend they're 14-year-old girls on MySpace. Oh well, I suppose they'll look a little less ridiculous playing PopStar Guitar than they do playing We Cheer.XS GAMES CRANKS UP THE VOLUME, BLARING NEW TRACKS FOR POPSTAR GUITAR™ Master Songs From Fall Out Boy, Paramore and All-American Rejects to Round Out PopStar Guitar's Blockbuster Playlist NEW YORK - Oct. 16, 2008- Videogame publisher XS Games announced today five new songs for PopStar Guitar™, the all-new music rhythm game for Wii™ and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system.
