Those of us who pre-ordered Guitar Hero World Tour were given a little sheet of paper instructing us to go to a website and enter our receipt number in order to receive a special super-secret code that would allow us to unlock all 84 songs included with the game at once. While I play Guitar Hero solo more often than not and prefer unlocking the songs manually, which gives the whole experience a game sort of vibe, I know some of you are impatient and don't want to be stuck playing the songs you don't like when you could be playing the songs you do, so I've gone ahead and printed out a screenshot of the code so the more impatient among us can get their World Tour on. Hit the jump for a screen cap of the code, safely locked away from eyes that would rather just not know. Now I go back to staring at Activision reps with a wild look in my eyes until they announce Stan Bush's "The Touch." More »

I've had a pretty busy weekend, so I didn't have much time to delve into Rock Band 2, and looking over my schedule for the next week or two, chances are slim I'll be up to unlocking anything in the game anytime soon. For those of us with little time or little patience for unlocking new tracks, Harmonix have included a handy little code in game that unlocks everything, all at once. Mind you this will completely strip the joy of discovery out of the game, so use at your own risk. Simply go into the game modifier screen and enter in the original Rock Band unlock code - Red, Yellow, Blue, Red, Red, Blue, Blue, Red, Yellow, Blue - and poof, you're a joy killer. I tested the code out on my game and it works like gangbusters. Then I stared wistfully at the track listing before putting down the guitar and trudging back to my desk, completely broken.

I'd like to think I am not the only one who bought Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP last week for the sole purpose of having a portable copy of Symphony of the Night on hand at all times, only to find myself jumping through hoops to unlock my main reason for picking up the title in the first place. Well rather than have you go through the agonizing hours filled with senseless deaths that I went through, I figured I would just give you the skinny on unlocking the game up front. First off, you need to get to stage 2 in the main game. At one point a giant bull creature starts chasing Richter, and rather than jumping over the holes in the floor, you'll want to fall into the first one. Finish the level and you'll find yourself in an alternate stage 3. More »
