Hey everybody, Guitar Hero 80s edition is out this week! Do you know what that means? Yeah, that's right! You're about to spend $50 for thirty tracks performed by cover bands on songs that came out twenty years ago! Sorry, don't mind me, I'm a cynical bastard.
Aside from Guitar Hero, the other big games to me this week Kirby's Dream Course and Final Fantasy II. What's looking sw33t to you this week Dtoiders?
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

If you order Rocks the 80s before tomorrow from Best Buy, you get it for 40 bucks and you get a $15 gift card to go with it. So you're paying $40 for thirty tracks performed by cover bands on songs that came out twenty years ago, plus 15 bucks worth of other merchandise.
Yeah, Guitar Hero 80's really shouldn't be any more than $40. Consideering all the venues are the same as GH2 and it doesn't have ANY bonus songs, $30 is more fair.
WTF is up with that Escape from Bug Island trailer. At first i wanted to know what was going on then it started getting weird when homegirl pulled a giant centipede out of her bag when that dudes boyfriend tried to rob her at gunpoint. Wait i get it...is this Naked Lunch:Wii Edition?

Also, I think the bug game is only $30.
I'd rather watch TALLADEGA NIGHTS again.
I'm buying purely for Dio and the Scorpions.
HOLY DIVER!
That sound a bit better?
