Hot pen love
Dave Navarro, one-time talented guitarist, now better-known as a shirtless, eyeliner-soaked media-whore, will be making at an appearance at a Best Buy shop in West Lost Angeles to celebrate Guitar Hero II's release. The guitarist, whose song Stop (originally recorded by Jane's Addiction and released in 1990) is included in the game, will sign plastic guitars for people who... want plastic guitars signed by Dave Navarro. If you live in Kenosha, Wisconsin, we're sure this is very
Supreme Editor-in-Chief
Maybe it's the "world's best selling PC games magazine" thing, but our comrades-in-arms down the hall at PC Gamer scored early access (way early) to the mega-RTS Supreme Commander beta. Greg "The Vede" Vederman has a quick-and-dirty "10 things I love about the Supreme Commander Beta" up on the PCGamer.com site. It's well worth a read - especially if you don't have to deal with listening to whooping, hollering and cheering all the damn day while trying to work - like we
Oh... no
Video game fans unfortunate enough to have seen the terrible '90s Street Fighter movie, get ready for more pain. Next Generation reports that a new film based on the popular fighting game series is underway, with a story focused on popular Chinese fighter Chun-Li. We went to IMDB to check out this "Justin Marks" character and it turns out he's written the script for a Voltron film that's due out in 2008. Do you ever feel like our species is doomed - and deserves it?

Want to play Guitar Hero II cord-free? Now you've got a killer option. Today, Red Octane, maker of the game, has announced a wireless Guitar Hero guitar. It will be available next month, same as the game, and will set you back $60 (the regular, corded guitar goes for $40.) There are some other wireless (and wired) guitars coming out, and we're totally planning to shred the crap out of them with a full-on review feature... just you wait. For now, just hit Game|Life for a pic

Sony has announced what games will be available on the PS3's PlayStation Store on the system's November 11 Japan launch, and it's a little better than we expected... and a little worse. What do we mean? Well, the good stuff is downloadable, original games, including Blast Factor (pictured above), flOw and Lemmings, which we expect in the US. There are also two puzzle games: Kazuo (which looks like Sudoku to our untrained eye) and the imaginatively titled Puzzle, which
War gold
We don't usually report on this kind of thing - it's boring - but today Microsoft has announced that Gears of War has gone gold. Finished. Done development. Ready to go. And in celebration of its completion, Next Generation has put up an interview with the game's Lead Designer Cliff Bleszinski. His good word? "I dont know if its ever possible to be fully satisfied but my gut tells me, 'yes'. I sit down and I play the game and I have a blast with it, whether it be single player, versus
Six games for the price of... say... one and three-quarters
Time to clear out the warehouse? Must be. Capcom has today announced two big packs of digital entertainment - for cheap prices. Interested in Devil May Cry? You can pick up the whole PS2-bound series (that's three games) in a 5th Anniversary Pack for $29.99. Don't have a PS2 (by the way - who are you?) The Resident Evil 10th Anniversary Pack contains - for a mere $39.99 - Resident Evil, Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil 4 in one
