The makers of Power Gig: Rise of the SixString have brought 5o Cent level disrespect to the video game world with their latest viral video. These guys actually took a huge bundle of fake guitars (the kind we all use on Rock Band and Guitar Hero) and threw them out of plane into an active volcano. Absolutely insane.
As you might have expected, Power Gig uses a real six string guitar for gameplay. The name of the game is horrible but they’ve definitely got our attention.
Power Gig will arrive in stores this fall on Xbox 360 and PS3. Hit the jump for cover art.

l admit, I had middling expectations. I figured Def Jam Rapstar wouldn’t suck if only because that label has such a great legacy of artists but would they have the right songs and would they game capture the energy needed for a game like this? I wasn’t convinced but I was excited as the elevator door to the penthouse suite at NYC’s Cooper Square Hotel opened and I saw an amped crowd going word for word to “Scenario”.

I’m not the biggest summertime person. Granted as a kid it meant no school and long nights for hanging out but as an adult its more about the complexities of trying to dress appropriate when its 97 degrees out (rolled up sleeves are extremely overrated), beefing with people who attempt to BBQ on the sidewalk of the street you live on even though the park is 2 minutes away and battling mosquitoes like you’re in the Amazon Jungle.
