City of Industry, CA., (May, 2009) – For years we’ve been personalizing out favorite handheld game devices, iPod™’s and laptops with custom decals. But the fact is most decals quickly bubble, peal and fade in a very short time. Now Innex has announced the launch of Exo-Flex Skins which have been engineered with RapidAir® Technology by Orajet to eliminate air bubbles and significantly extend the life of the decal.
Exo-Flex Skins, which will debut at E3 2009, conform perfectly to any surface. Injected with three layers of resistant material, Exo-Flex Skins wont fade, tear, or stretch, require no squeegee and can be reapplied to any surface.
Wow, I am so sorry! Things have been super crazy getting ready for E3 and normal life, that I forgot to post this weeks games coming the …

Guitar Hero Metallica is the latest in a series of band-specific GH games and gives Metallica fans a really nice collection. I’ll preface this review by saying that I’m not the biggest Metallica fan, but I tried my best to be objective while playing through the game. While similar to other GH games, GH: Metallica does add some cool new features to the already fun franchise.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen features a soundtrack headlined by composer Steve Jablonsky, and he is joined by composer Bobby Tahouri and electronic music act Julien-K.
Jablonsky is best known for contributing music to the original score for 2007’s live-action Transformers movie and, more recently, the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie. Jablonsky is also highly regarded for his work in the original score to the video game Gears of War 2.

Santa Monica, CA – March 31, 2009 – Having pioneered and expanded the heavy metal genre while gaining critical and popular success over the past 25 years, Metallica invites gamers to “Ride the Lightning” with them and over 20 other rocking artists in Activision Publishing, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: ATVI) latest release – Guitar Hero® Metallica®. Enter the world of Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo and experience the intensity and skill of one of the greatest bands of all time. Shred on the guitar controller, rip on the drum kit controller and wail on the mic to over 45 explosive hits from both Metallica’s illustrious career and a variety of other legendary artists selected by the band, such as Alice In Chains, Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, Foo Fighters, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Queen.
“When Guitar Hero came to us with the idea to do a game based on Metallica, we call this a no brainer and said yes very quickly,” said Lars Ulrich, drummer for Metallica. “It seemed like the next step – a whole other platform for musicians to reach an audience. If we talk about this in five years, I think it will turn into an expected way to release music.”
“Guitar Hero is a great way for people to experience the music of a band. Not just Metallica, but many bands. It’s almost educational in that sense, where people can learn about groups that range from Santana to Lynyrd Skynyrd to Journey,” said bassist Robert Trujillo.
