Two guitars, a drummer, and a singer… we were kinda wondering how this would all work on one screen, and now we have a video of some of the Harmonix crew getting into Guns N Roses first hit. Rock Band will have its own guitars, but this video confirms that your 360 X-plorer will still work.

Earlier this week, Ubisoft dropped some new maps on to Xbox Live community for Rainbox Six: Vegas in the form of the Player’s Pack: Black Edition , costing 800 points, not unlike the Red Edition they released back in April. Only one problem: This was supposed to be free.

Rainbow Six Vegas just came out on PS3 with all of the Red & Black content included, so fans obviously cried foul, and rightly so. Ubisoft pulled the download shortly after went up and apologized for the mistake. Its now available for all Xbox Live users completely for free, and the Red Pack will be converted to a free download on July 6. Those who made the ten dollar plunge into Black Edition will be refunded their points… in 8-10 weeks. Oh well, I guess it can’t all be perfect.

I personally just picked up this game a few weeks ago, and if you’re itching for more Gears Of War, R6V is a worthy successor. Intense difficulty, great use of cover for fire fights, and enough sneaky stuff to have fun with, but not so much as to ruin the experience for a run & gun player like myself. I guess I’ll have a lot to dig into with the game this week when I go online.

You’ve got the Varia Suit Samus, Corrupted Samus, and Dark Samus. Enjoy all of them on August 20th.

As a sort of Powet Exclusive, here are all the television ads for the GM “Transform Your Ride” ad campaign paired with the Transformers movie opening next week. Note there are many variations on the final ad, which are all placed here for the sake of being complete. They look very similar, but you’ll note different vehicles in the promotions and the actor has slightly different reactions.

I’ve already told everyone I love this thing, made a few prank calls with it, and even annoyed viewers of my video blog. But since those I haven’t been able to torment with it don’t know what I’m talking about, I had to elaborate.

Now there is a variation I didn’t mention: some of these do NOT have Peter Cullen’s voice. Make sure you buy one that says “real movie sounds” and hit the button on the side of the helmet to make sure you get the real deal.

Shock and awe has gripped the Nintendo DS and Transformers fans alike as they new licensed game based on the 2007 Transformers movie is blowing away expectations. Our friend Tigerpaw elaborates:

My initial impressions on these games? Good with a capital G. The graphics are great. The FMV intro is amazing and the in game graphics are well-rendered and amazingly well detailed. Audio is top notch too, with all the character voice overs you could possibly want. Gameplay is solid along with solid controls. Players will have a blast stomping and racing all over the 3D environment. I’m not really far enough in to comment on the story but it’s looking pretty good so far. While it’s a really cool single player game, I think it may shine even more in multiplayer, where some great melee battles are sure to be had. Big thumbs up.

More poweteers chime in on our forums! This is great news for those of us awaiting the console releases this week.

An intrepid fan with a camera captured this footage from the set of The Dark Knight. Late nights in Chicago are inspiring all sorts of snipers with cameras, and when he saw actor Cillian Murphy on set, he knew he had a scoop! At the end of Batman Begins, Murphy as Scarecrow/Jonathan Crane rode off into the sunset on his fire-breathing horse, and now in the sequel it appears he’s still causing trouble. See more at SuperheroHype!

The principal criticism of the older Batman movies was the death and elimination of the villains. Screenwriter David Goyer was careful not to let that happen in Begins, and now we see Scarecrow’s story will continue. Could he again be merely a front for the real threat, this time the Joker? After all, his mind control and fear experiments could be of great interest if adapted to cause manical laughter.

Ain’t It Cool News is reporting that the dream team casting for Jon Favreau’s Iron Man has just gotten sweeter. Shooting a cameo appearance is the Academy Award nominated star of Pulp Fiction, Samuel L Jackson in the role of Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD.

The hot rumor is the role will be expanded upon in future marvel movies (Incredible Hulk, Captain America) and eventually lead to the full on Avengers movie. Wow, what a great idea of getting casting now for a role years down the road.

This casting is of course as perfect as casting gets, as Ultimate Marvel Nick Fury was completely based on Samuel L Jackson, and Sam has said in the past he wanted the role.
