So you think you’re a formidable rocker? You’ve gotten the lead out, you’re among those about to rock, you didn’t sleep till you got to Brooklyn, you’re well aware that your body is a wonderland*, and now you’re looking for the next step towards rock-and-roll idolatry. Look no further. Our friends at GameTrailers are making two lucky people’s rock dreams come true with the Rock It Real Contest. Show them how you “Rock It Real” in 30 seconds or less, and the winners get a trip to LA to be on GameTrailers TV on Spike! Hit the jump for a video explanation, or just head over to their website for all the details.

*Sorry, I only know so many hard-rock references.

E3, the biggest video game conference, was last week. It’s been a while since I’ve mentioned this, but we work on the same floor as Game Trailers.com, so they put together this awesome “Lowlights” reel, of all the lowest moments of an event that they no doubt, have some deep rooted issues with. But don’t feel too bad E3 presenters, there are people who are agonizing over last weeks’ events even more than you.

Today marks the release of Beatles: Rock Band. Finally, a video game you can play with your parents! The gap between those who are getting stoned in their basements to play X-box now has been bridged with those who got stoned in their basements to listen to the Beatles then. Koo koo ca chew.

Seriously though, this game looks pretty excellent. For the passed few weeks I’ve walked by the folks at Game Trailers* who have been “testing” the game with envious eyes. Their verdict? It works.
