XS Games today announced that they are developing PopStar Guitar. This new rhythm game will focus on pop music stars, with 50 songs from artists such as 3 Doors Down, Simple Plan, Blink 182. PopStar Guitar will feature a career mode along with co-op and competitive mutliplayer features.

"The popularity of music rhythm games is at an all time high, but to date the games have primarily featured hard core metal, classic and alternative rock music," said Steve Grossman, chief executive officer of XS Games. "With popular songs from today's top pop artists, PopStar Guitar is a game the whole family can enjoy. We've also created a dynamic new air guitar game play experience with our AirG peripheral for the Wii, allowing players to have a blast as they unleash their inner pop star."

PopStar Guitar will release in October 2008 for PS2 and Wii. The PS2 version will be compatible with the system's various guitar peripherals while the Wii version will come with the AirG peripheral that combines with the Wii Remote to make a playable "air guitar."
