Totally Classic Rock

I went to Best Buy the other day, to get some sweet speakers for my computer at work, and as i was paroozing down the aisle i came across a demo video game called Guitar Hero. Cautiously i picked up the control (which was a guitar) and started my classic rock journey.
4 hours later, I bought some black spandex, a headband, got some tattoos and i was a rockstar – for real this time. I cannot express how cool this game is, by the end of it you’ll have groupies of your own, i promise. Go get it today.

Rescue the Nuke Scientist

An Iranian hard-line student group unleashed a new video game Monday that simulates an attempt to rescue two Iranian nuclear experts kidnapped by the US military and held in Iraq and Israel. The point of the game is to kill as many US soldiers as possible. This is the same student group that was behind the infamous "World Without Zionism" conference in 2005 where President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for Israel to be "wiped off the map."
"This is our defense against the enemy’s cultural onslaught," Mohammad Taqi Fakhrian, a leader of the student group, told reporters Monday.
In "Rescue the Nuke Scientist," U.S. troops capture a husband-and-wife team of nuclear engineers during a pilgrimage to the holy city of Karbala.
"We tried to promote the idea of defense, sacrifice and martyrdom in this game," Fakhrian said.
Fakhrian said his group was trying to market the video game first in Iran and other Muslim countries. But the group also has plans to bring the game, which comes on a CD for computers, to Western countries, he said.
