During a visit to my local CVS in North Bergen, NJ, I noticed something quite interesting in one of the aisles. It seems CVS is starting to sell video games at this particular location. The game that was on sale was the Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Guitar / Game Bundle for the Wii for a damn good price of $49.99, especially when you compare GameStop is selling the same bundle for $79.99. Looks like Christmas is coming early for some lucky boys & girls!

Last night during The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, Dhani Harrison was invited to sit and discuss The Beatles: Rock Band with Conan.
During the interview, Dhani said he was the mastermind behind making The Beatles: Rock Band a reality when he accidentally met with MTV president Van Toffler right after MTV had bought Harmonix. Through their discussion, Van suggested Dhani meet with Harmonix President Alex Rigopulos, which was only the first step to bring their one in a million shot dream into what is being released today, The Beatles: Rock Band.

Last year’s Guitar Hero: World Tour was a huge success for the Guitar Hero franchise as it was turned into an obvious direction: playing in a band. Even though the title specifically mentions the guitar, music-based games such as Guitar Hero have become more than just two people wailing on their axes. It has now become a social experience that brings people together under one roof to rock the night away. Guitar Hero 5 is the latest iteration of Activision’s popular music game franchise. The question is: Is Guitar Hero 5 the latest and greatest?

Although masturbatory gestures are fun for everyone, this latest Robot Chicken short really takes the awkward movements into a completely new direction.
The game: Humping Robot. The objective: Hump, hump, HUMP! As with most Nintendo Wii games, the fun really starts when you play it’s multiplayer!
