For those of you who haven't seen these videos yet, here's a trio of great performances from artist Guillaume Reymond and his GAME OVER Project. These are stop motion videos of popular classic games by using people in an auditorium with colour coded t-shirts. You can find more of these via Youtube, or through the groups official website at: http://www.notsonoisy.com/gameover/
I highly recommend the Space Invaders video as well, excellent choreography and a surprisingly accurate interpretation. Below is the Tetris video, enjoy!
.........because Guitar Hero III is determined to put you in a world of pain if it doesn't snap your fingers off and bleed you to death first. Better grab that copy of Chubby Lovin' you hide in between your mattresses, watch Over the Top and buy yourself a Bowflex. You'll need every muscle and joint in top form this fall.

Thanks to ScoreHero for posting that insane video. Either the game's dynamic has changed or "expert" just got a lot harder. Assuming that's the hardest song in the game of course.
Save this video, someday you may need to explain why Mommy/Daddy can't play catch anymore....or hold a fork.....or pee by themselves.
It's been a bit of a slow week in gaming news and goings on. So let's speed things up a bit with some classic Atari marketing courtesy of Youtube:
An awesome arcade port for a very underrated game system. The Atari 5200 gets attention from collectors and gamers alike more for it's reputation for poor controllers than it's awesome game library and near arcade perfect ports of classic games. I think the 5200 is often overshadowed by it's predecessor the Atari 2600 and gets forgotten quite easily.
According to it's Wikipedia article this Pole Position commercial is considered by many to be one of the greatest game commercials of all time. While I can say there's no accounting for taste I agree it is a classic.
Take a moment and imagine the possibilities. What could have been had the 5200 been compatible with Atari 2600 titles from the start, had a digital joystick instead of an analog one or didn't suffer through the game crash of 1983-84?
