Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine wants to kick your ass. Well, not literally, but with the original track he wrote for the upcoming Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.

The song “Sudden Death” (spoiler alert!) plays during the game’s final battle, a face-off with the demigod of rock. It’s a finger-blistering number written specifically for the game, the intention to push the Guitar Hero player’s skills to the limit. Mustaine is proud of the track, which he wrote based on a script and game illustrations provided to him by Neversoft.

How he describes the song: it starts off scary, then it stops, then it picks up pace at the end. That’s like going into a record store and saying “I’m looking for this song I heard on the radio. It goes ‘dummy dum dum dum’ on the bass, and then the drums come in and it’s all like ‘widdly-wah, widdly-wah’ on the guitar right before the singer states ‘can you feel my raging heat, come down with it girl.’ Do you’ve that one?”

Check the video above to hear the track, see the note chart in action, and marvel at the fact that Mustaine has had the same haircut for over 25 years.

I’ll be frank: I haven’t downloaded any of the paid add-ons for Mass Effect 2. Perhaps I’ll purchase the whole lot down the road if I ever decide to do another full playthrough, but for now, I’ll say that “Lair of the Shadow Broker” seems like the most ambitious — and worthwhile — add-on.

Before this trailer, I wouldn’t have been so positive; it’s nicely cut. While it wouldn’t be too shocking if most of the ideal moments are shown in this video, it’s going to be a struggle not to give $10 to BioWare come September 7, when “Shadow Broker” hits PC and Xbox 360.

ACE Team’s weirdo first-person brawler/shooter Zeno Clash Ultimate Edition is getting discounted this week on Xbox Live Arcade. The title is down to 800 MS Points from its usual 1200, which means you’ll save 400 MS Points that you can spend on Avatar crap. Right?

Even at 1200 (roughly $15), Zeno Clash is worth its price. It’s such a strange tiny game, with plenty of single-player content, and some very special gameplay to back it up. Powered by Valve’s Source Engine, the game looks damned good, too — ACE Team crafted some of the most bizarre-yet-beautiful worlds I’ve seen in quite in any game.

The deal lasts until the end of the week, so act fast or forever be left wondering how your 360 Avatar would have looked in those awesome pants you could have bought.

If you’ve got an iDevice, fire up the iTunes store and download a preview of the upcoming Fallout: New Vegas – All Roads graphic novel. It’s free!

It’s a 12-page sneak preview of the graphic novel which will ship exclusively in the Fallout: New Vegas collector’s edition. Aside from length, the difference is that this is digital, and the one that comes with the collector’s edition can give you paper cuts. All Roads was created with Dark Horse Comics, and written by the upcoming game’s senior designer, Chris Avellone. Artists Jean Diaz, Wellington Alves, and Geof Darrow all help bring the bleak wasteland of New Vegas to life. Bethesda even states the graphic novel will contain “clues to in-games missions for the sharp-eyed reader,” so sharpen those eyes.

Fallout: New Vegas is out on October 19, and it’s the only game this year (I believe) that’ll let you’ve sex with robots. Read our most current preview for more details.
