Power suits, and who’s wearing them
Maxim posted a list of the “13 Most Badass Video Game Power Suits” – they’re not all armored, some are literally power suits (pinstripes and all), but Master Chief’s Mjolnir armor made it to number 12. Thanks, NickLee808.(Louis Wu 13:56:41 UTC)

Assembly Gameplay – High Quality
TDG, over at NeoGAF, noticed a pretty high-quality film of Assembly on GameVideos – the gameplay’s nothing special, but the view of the map is the best I’ve seen on the web. (You can download a 720p version of it from that page.) (Louis Wu 13:55:24 UTC)

Indestructible Halo 3 TriTage
This weekend, Z sent along a link to a tritage featuring MoNsTeR, vFoFo, and Tags II (Tags II did the editing); it’s more than 10 minutes long, but it’s got a lot of fun plays, and plenty of slick editing. Just under 200 mb – an enjoyable watch. Check it out! (Louis Wu 13:53:43 UTC)

Purchase New Metallica Album and Receive 11 Free GH III DLC Tracks
Best Buy has an offer“while supplies last” that will get you 11 free DLC tracks for Guitar Hero III when you pre-order Metallica’s new album, Death Magnetic. Presumably, the DLC tracks are from Death Magnetic.
Some good news you might not have expected: The basic version of the album is only $9.99 with free shipping. My entire order was $10.55 with tax. I am essentially gambling $10 that the album will be at least mediocre and that I’d like to play a few of the tracks on GH III. I’ve made worse bets before.
