NEWS - What do Activision, Pontiac, and Hot Topic have in common? They're partnering up for a national Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock tournament -- and the top prize is a 2008 Pontiac G5. Not the hottest ride, no, but it's more car than you're gonna get playing Rock Band. Oooh, burn. (I take it back, Activision.) Contest details inside.

Screwjumper! due out on XBLA next week

Next week's XBLA offering is entitled Screwjumper! and as you can tell from the above video, it's more like "falling" than really jumping. Not sure where that other half of that title works into the whole deal, either, but maybe that's none of my business.

Featuring four singleplayer modes as well as head-to-head multiplayer, there are 20 levels for you to fall through while chaining attacks, blowing stuff up, and doing lots of red/green/blue/purple things in general. Let's ignore the blatant XNA-ness of it and cling to the hope that it might be really fun to play, shall we? You can find out for sure on November 14th when it becomes available, and I'll be sure to let you know if it was worth the wait.
