Harmonix Turns to Kickstarter to Bring Back a Classic: Amplitude

People who have been fans of rhythm games long before Guitar Hero put the genre in the mainstream light were likely huge fans of a game called Amplitude. After more than 10 years, Harmonix is bringing back the game that helped start it all, and they’re looking to their long time fans and Kickstarter to help make it happen.

Today in WTF news, GameStop has announced that they will be closing 120 of their gaming stores, and replacing them with 200-300 new stores that focus entirely on mobile and tablet devices. Wait a minute, what!?

That’s right, for those of you who may live in a smaller town or rural area, chances are your local GameStop will soon be no more. In its place will be yet another store dedicated to everything “mobile.” Clearly, we don’t have enough of those just yet. Gamers who don’t have a local “ma and pa” store will likely no longer have the joy of being able to go to a place where they’re sure to be among others who actually understand and can talk about their favorite hobby. Sure, there are still the alternatives, but they’re severely lacking what GameStop has always offered – a place specifically for gamers.

Fox just released the first official trailer for this this fall’s new show, Gotham. This actually looks pretty awesome. So long as it doesn’t go like the last Batman TV show, Birds of Prey, which was good but horribly managed by the WB, this ought to be pretty exciting depending on where they put it on the schedule. Check out the full trailer after the jump.
