Perhaps in the spirit of election time, Harmonix and MTV Games have announced a three-track-pack from the Presidents of the United States of America (POTUS). The line-up includes the tracks “Dune Buggy,” “Feather Pluckin”, and “Ladybug” which will join POTUS’s “Lump” already on the Rock Band 2 soundtrack. In addition, Hinder’s “Use Me” and Fallout Boy’s “I Don’t Care” will also be available for download the week of November 4, 2008.
The new tracks will be available on November 4, 2008 on the Xbox LIVE marketplace and on November 6, 2008 for the PlayStation Network. The POTUS track-pack will be priced at $5.49 (440 Microsoft Points) or $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) each. The Hinder and Fallout Boy tracks will be available for $0.99 (80 Microsoft Points) each. Continuing their anti-cover methodology, all tracks are once again master recordings.
It’s important to keep multiple saves. The final area of Fallout 3 will lock you in and after the game ends, you’ll get booted back to the title screen. No new game+, no adventuring in the wastes after the game is completed. So in addition to the games autosave, it would behoove you to keep at least 2 active saves. That way you can finish the story and keep exploring anyway.
This week’s additions to the Wii Shop Channel are packing all sorts of awesomeness with the addition of the 3rd episode of the Strong Bad episodic title, Baddest of the Bands, as well as the Genesis version of Earthworm Jim. Another original title dropping this week for WiiWare is in the form of Art Style: ROTOHEX.
Baddest of the Bands features everyone’s favorite star on a journey to win the Battle Royale of the Bands. Art Style: ROTOHEX is a new puzzle game that sounds 1 part Tetris and 1 part Hexic HD. Earthworm Jim is well… it’s just pure awesome. Hit the jump for the full descriptions of this week’s releases. READ MORE

Just got an email in my box from Stardock, publisher of Galactic Civilizations, Sins of a Solar Empire, the upcoming DemiGod, and the Gamer’s Bill of Rights (not a game), a document that is somewhat anti-DRM, a rare stance found among PC-only game companies (or any company in particular, for that matter).
They have released the 2008 customer report, a business document that’s a little dry but full of plenty of information. Much of the info is old, but interesting stuff that seems to be new is the customer survey, what they consider legitimate and illegitimate DRM concerns, and the problems and feedback they’ve received on their Steam-like distribution platform, Impulse.
It keeps crashing in my browser, so you may just wish to download it instead of just opening it. Not a customer but interested anyway? Read on.
