Mike’s Blog: 8 Bit Rebellion-On The Way
Filed Under mike blog | Leave a Comment
A quick “8 BIT REBELLION” update. Our new game, available for the iPhone and iPod touch, will be out soon. We’ve pushed the release back a few weeks because we’re testing the game. In fact, I’m playing the game right now, making sure everything looks good. So far, there are still some minor changes to make…and I’m taking notes. We don’t want to release it until all we’ve addressed as many issues as we can!
Also, many of you have asked about the game being available for other platforms, since you don’t all have iPods (although Steve Jobs is hoping you will reconsider, ha). We’re hoping to get it out for other mobile platforms after it debuts with Apple. No word on that yet; it may take a while. For now, it will only be available on iPod and iPod touch.
Lastly, let there be no confusion: the song we released for DOWNLOAD TO DONATE is not the same song as the one on the game. The song on the game is ANOTHER brand new Linkin Park song.

LPTV- Download to Donate for Haiti

Forget all the talk of “concept records” and “grandiose insanity.” On their new album, Linkin Park are going back to their roots in order to make the most challenging record of their career.
On Tuesday, MTV News spoke to LP co-frontman Mike Shinoda about his band’s just-launched Download to Donate for Haiti project and, in the process, we managed to get some new information about the band’s much-anticipated follow-up to 2007’s Minutes to Midnight, which has been in the works for more than a year now. And while he still maintains that LP will be doing their fair share of growing on the new record, it’s important to know that they’re also not ignoring their past — quite the opposite, in fact.
“The album is going really well — we decided to go with Rick Rubin again, he’s been in the studio with us. And we’ve been working in a different studio than we did the last record in, we decided to go back to the studio we did Hybrid Theory and Meteora in,” Shinoda said. “It’s been going great, I feel like it’s an entirely different process and an entirely different style of music than anything we’ve done before. It’s hard to place. People keep asking me, ‘What does it sound like?’ and it’s hard to describe. When people hear it, they’re going to have a tough time saying that it falls into a category.” [More]
