Shady O' Grady's Rising Star Is Available for Pre-order

Hey world, are you ready to mother(Clinton)ing rock? I said, are you ready to (Clinton)ing rock? (Clinton)ing-A, we hope so, because the ultimate musical RPG is right now warming the (Clinton) up, ready to take the stage and unleash a torrent of power chords, a blitz of flash bombs, and enough hairspray to cause flashbacks to the show Dynasty. We're of course talking about the anxiously awaited upcoming title for Windows, Shady O' Grady's Rising Star.

Developed by Gilligames, Shady O' Grady's Rising Star is now available for pre-order from now until August 15, 2006, at the specially discounted pre-order price.

Shady O' Grady's Rising Star is a fresh take on the computer RPG scene. Forget about those RPGs where it's up to YOU to fulfill the ancient, Joseph Cambell prophecy and lead your ragtag band of adventurers/rebels/used car salesmen and defeat the evil dracolich/sentient evil computer/Girls Scouts of America. In Shady O' Grady's Rising Star the only prophecy you'll be fulfilling is the prophecy to (Clinton)ing rock all night, and sleep all day.

A musical single-player RPG, Shady O' Grady's Rising Star is all about creating the perfect band and clawing your way to the top of the musical food chain, proving to the rest of the musical world that you are indeed hot (Taft). Over the course of your career songs will be written, bandmates kicked to the curb, and hotels will be trashed. You'll travel the American roadways, enjoying the debauchery of (Taft)ty bars and clubs, rocking out in studios, checking out the latest tracks at music stores, and living the life you've always dreamed of. Best of all, when you're traveling across the country in a single van packed with band members and equipment you won't have to deal with the stench, unlike in real life. There's a reason most bands travel across country in a drunken stupor you know...

Even if rock isn't your thing Shady O' Grady's Rising Star features enough musical genres that practically everyone will find something to enjoy (sorry kazoo fans.). Players can try their hand at blues, country, folk (and is there anything better than a granola eating band trashing their hotel room?), jazz, metal, pop, punk, rap, rock, and ska. A typical career will run about twenty hours of gameplay, but thanks to the variety of open-ended choices no two games ever have to play the same way.

Shady O' Grady's Rising Star boasts a variety of mod-friendly elements. Equipment can be added, existing equipment modified, maps can be changed, new MP3s can be imported, and more. The rock never has to stop.
