The giving until it hurts continues to...hurt. But what hurts me helps you. This week GamePro Arcade is raffling off one $25 iTunes gift card. Wii Point cards, MS Point cards, PSN cards, downloadable console and PC's games, and now iTunes cards?!? What have you done to deserve such gifts given that you still don't put out?!? Hopefully you've been visiting GamePro Arcade everyday, and not just on the days when we're giving something away (hint, hint).
So how do you win this time? Just answer the question below. You can post up to 10 answers but they must be on this blog post only. The winner will be drawn Sunday.
What's the first song you'd download if you won the iTunes gift card?

What's the problem? The 20-song Rock Band Track Pack released yesterday wasn't enough for you? Fine, have it your way. Harmonix's weekly release this time is hitting hard on the punk and metal scene with three 3-packs added to the Rock Band Music Store starting today. This will bring Rock Band into the 400 mark for content, blowing Guitar Hero out of the water. See all the tracks and prices below.
Polar opposites on the downloadable game front. Wii gamers can pick up arcade classic "Space Invaders" (800pts) today. Other Wii offerings this week include "Forgotten Worlds" (800pts), "Target Toss Pro: Bags" (700pts), and "Strong Bad 4: Dangeresque 3" (1,000pts, look for the review later tonight).
While Wii owners go old school with "Space Invaders", Xbox 360 gamers get to put the new Xbox Experience to the test on its launch day (this Wednesday) with "A Kingdom for Keflings". Hit the jump for all the details on all of this week's releases.
For those of you without a connection to Xbox Live, Harmonix is releasing a stand alone disc of some of its hit DLC today for Rock Band or Rock Band 2. For $30, twenty songs are included, which is $10 cheaper than downloading these tracks separately. Rock Band is not required to play this add on.
Rock out to the full setlist listed below.
Have you seen the TV show "Don't Forget the Lyrics"? Its Wayne Brady's finest work, I swear. If you're bored on a Friday night, are a karoake regular and DEMAND the mic in Guitar Hero or Rock Band - this program is for you. I haven't seen a show with this much unintentional comedy since the last season of The Real World.
What does this have to do with Guitar Hero? Or with The Killers? Absolutely nothing. Its just that my son and I just quit playing GH: World Tour (our virtual band "Death Blossom" doesn't take sides, we play both GH and Rock Band gigs), turn on the TV and what do we see? Some dude singing Steve Miller's The Joker just like we were in GH. No wait, there's more. On this show Wayne Brady danced and sang back up, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban came out and made an ass of himself, and the guy who was a contestant on the show wanted to spend some of his winnings on a stand up Pac-Man arcade cabinet. Doesn't this sound like a great way to spend a Friday night if you have a bottle a rum and nothing else to do? Of course it does.

Back in 1998 Vigilante 8 graced the PS1 with its vehicular combat mayhem and fun gameplay. Activision has revised this title for Xbox Live Arcade and is calling it Vigilante 8: Arcade.
Much like the original, in Vigilante 8 gamers pick a vehicle and use it to destroy other vehicles as quick as possible. Strewn about the map are power ups to help aid you in this destructive quest. These range from weapon upgrades to shield/health packs. Working your way through level after level you reach a boss in which need to destroy. Though similar to fighting games, beating this game isn't what's fun - it's the overall experience.
The Sopranos. The Beatles. Lindsay Lohan's hotness. Just three examples that all good things come to an end. So does GamePro Arcade's three week console point card giveaway program, Autumn of Arcade, which reaches its conclusion today.
But don't think for a second that this is the end of GPArcade's generosity. At least once a month I'll be giving away something - codes for downloadable games, console points cards or (on rare occassions) gaming schwag. In fact, starting sometime this week we'll be handing out a copy of Bejeweled Twist for you to download on your PC. Besides being a place to win prizes, GPArcade is a great place to find the latest news, reviews, interviews and articles on downloadable games and downloadable content.
Congrats to our PSN card winners listed below. In order to claim your prize, log on to GamePro.com and add my editor (and boss, so be nice to him) Tae Kim to your friends list (gamepro.com/profile/view/TKK) and look for a PM from him sometime this week. Hit the jump to see if you've won.
For duffers like myself who to go the driving range and shank more golf balls than Judge Smails yet still love golf, a game like Tiger Woods is awesome. So when EA announced that today that you can improve your console golfer's skills by using your cell phone, I was stoked.
The new feature for Tiger Woods 09, called Console Boost, is available on most feature phones but unfortunately not for the iPhone or iPod. Hit the jump for all the details on how to use your cell to make your 360 or PS3 golfer a badass while away from your beloved HDTV.
Microsoft isn't wasting any time finding gamers something to do with their new avatars when the New Xbox Experience launches later this month. Starting November 19, Xbox 360 owners can download "A Kingdom of Kefflings" for 800MS points from XBLA. In the game, a players own personal avatar acts as a Paul Bunyun sized urban planner, helping the shrimp sized Keflings build their growing city. Think Sim City but with Apache Chief from the Super Friends walking around, barking orders.
The new title sounds pretty interesting and looks very kid friendly. I just hope it offers gamers a chance to unleash their inner Godzilla too. Hit the jump for all the details.
