Do you have a guitar? Do you like both Coldplay and Lynyrd Skynyrd? Well have we got the product for you.
BandFuse: Rock Legends announced itself yesterday, promising that you’ll be able to plug in a real! guitar and play your favorite hits, assuming those hits include both “Harder to Breathe” by Maroon 5 and “Breakin’ the Law” by Judas Priest.
The rhythm game comes with an adapter that you plug into the guitar and an Xbox 360. The game “animates real guitar tablature in a simple and intuitive format allowing you to take your music wherever you go.” It also lets players plug in a mike and “sound like a rock legend.” A career mode is included.
Would you like to play Borderlands 2? You can do it on September 18 this year, on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. (September 21 for international audiences, Gearbox tells us, meaning those of you not in North America.)
You can even play it in splitscreen. Four-player co-op, too. With more guns and skills than ever, it looks like.

I was rather close to falling down a deep, dark Counter-Strike hole just after the Counter-Strike:Global Offensive launched in November, but a broken PC released me from a frightening future of constant de_dust2 battles and crying about how unfair it is. I’d actually forgotten I had it until Valve and Hidden Path updated it this week, switching from a stress test to a big-assed closed beta, with over 80 tweaks. The big changes are the addition of three reworked classic maps, de_inferno, de_train, and de_nuke, and new guns, the Nova shotgun, the Bizon and the MP7 SMGs. But there’s more.
Any changes made to Counter-Strike brings more eyes, more opinions, than any other game I can think of, and Valve are using this as a real beta, not a marketing exercise. Aside from adding extra content, they’ve already altered the recoil twice: first according to CS pro Salvatore “Volcano” Garozzo’s tip that the recoil was too much and too difficult to control, and then shortly after when it was clear their tweak wasn’t nearly enough to help out player. CS: GO is an actual work-in-progress.
Angry Fish: Deep Sea features a 7 battle trial mode that allows players to get a taste of the game and the different types of fish that can be used to battle against the cats for free./p>
Angry Fish: Deep Sea features an all new fish, the Clown Fish, which has a wicked metal mode. Once the game is purchased all 63 unique puzzling battles are unlocked along with 6 unique fish, each with their own special attack abilities. Many puzzles have been designed so that launching an attack of multiple fish out of the cannon in semi-automatic fashion is a must!
Each battle must be completed before subsequent battles are unlocked. A 3 star battle point system has been implemented to award players for optimal destruction and technique. The player is awarded points for destroying objects, defeating cats, and for having a minimal amount of fish casualties.

Over five minutes of footage that is already being hurredly removed from YouTube. Probably because it shows that the latest iteration of Far Cry is less about firearms, more about fetch quests. You misison, should you chose to accept it, is to go and collect some fungus for a crazy old man. Oh, and while you’re doing it, you will be trippin’ balls.
BEST. FETCH QUEST. EVER.
Alan Wake’s American Nightmare launches on February 22, 2012 in North America. The official launch trailer has gone online, giving gamers a poetic and action-packed look at the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade, horror-shooter.
Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is a third-person, action-oriented horror game. It’s a pseudo-sequel to hit thriller, Alan Wake, which recently became available for PC and originally launched for the Xbox 360 back in 2009. The new launch trailer does a good job of setting up the game as a more run-and-gun title as opposed to the more story-driven original.
Have you ever played a third-person shooter and thought, “Well, this is all well and good, but why isn’t it underwater?!” before screaming and throwing your property out the window? Put down that hatstand, because there’s a demo for Deep Black: Reloaded. And it features jet packs and harpoons.
This is, I should stress, from Biart, the same people who brought us Depth Hunter. The “Reloaded” comes from its being a version of a 360/PS3 digital game, but, um, the console’s Deep Black hasn’t been released yet. My brain hurts. It’s a near-future sci-fi, that promises a story involving espionage and bio-terror, and a smattering of world supremacy.
Far Cry 3 is the upcoming sequel to the 2008 video game Far Cry 2. It is currently in development and is due to be released in 2012.
Far Cry 3 takes place on a tropical island found somewhere at the intersection of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. However, Patrick Redding, a Ubisoft story designer, mentioned that an Antarctic setting is a possibility for future games. The main goal of the game is to escape from the islands (as there will be more than one, mentioned by Dan Hay) and their crazed inhabitants.
