PopStar Guitar Possible Cover Art and More Artists

Remember PopStar Guitar, The new guitar video game that was announced 2 weeks ago to be produced by XS Games?

We’ve just stumbled upon ‘The countdown to PopStarGuitar.com‘ which we think may be releasing information about the game slowly. It looks like it is set up by someone at XS Games, or by someone close to XS Games. We don’t know… it’s the ‘contact us’ with the XS Games e-mail address, but hosted on blogspot, that’s throwing us off (more about our speculation below, including other artist’s songs that might be in the game).

‘The countdown to PopStarGuitar.com’ has this image (to the left) on their site as the ‘possible’ cover art for the game for the Wii.

Our Speculation…

Alright, so here’s what we guess.

The website ‘The countdown to PopStarGuitar.com’ is hosted on blogspot which normally wouldn’t be used for such a corporate website, but PopStarGuitar.com just says ‘coming soon’ and blogger is an easy platform to set up right away. This may just be a temporary website that is up until XS Games get’s the PopStar Guitar website up and running.

Now the press release for PopStar Guitar was sent out on July 22nd, but this website has a post dated the same day as the press release with the cover already. That tells us that they have a possible source within the company.

Also, the site has a post dated July 10th, almost 2 weeks before the game was announced. A close source? Someone in the company? Henry Van Hoose?

And then there’s a post that says “There is a rumor that PopStarGuitar is gonna set the gaming world on fire with a very cool new air guitar”. That sounds like a PR statement if you ask me.

We will be checking the site out regularly for updates.

Oh yeah…. we said ‘More Artists’ in the title, so we should probably elaborate. If you went to the website you will see links to artists who have not been announced for the game, but who are decidedly ‘pop’ (which is the genre for the game).

Those artists are Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, and Maroon 5.

Will songs from those artists be in the game? Time will tell.
