GDC 2010 was host to several parties, but the True Crime party quickly became one of the most infamous. The idea was to create the boss’ fictional Triad nightclub in a hotel in San Francisco, complete with mood lighting, booze, and girls. And some of those dancers…well, the Pilates is paying off, let’s put it that way. But they weren’t the only people working hard to bring Club Bam Bam to life. Here’s a quick look behind the scenes.

Here’s your weekly friendly reminder that there’s some fresh Guitar Hero tracks available for download as of nowish. Your weekend may now commence.
This week it’s one of my personal favorite bands, OK Go. I unabashedly love power pop and these guys are doing it right in all three of the songs in this pack: “Here It Goes Again,” “Get Over It,” and ”Do What You Want.” If you didn’t catch my short interview with bassist Tim Nordwind yesterday, it’s right here.
The pack is available for 440 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360, 550 Wii Points on Wii, or $5.49 US Treasury points on PS3. If you don’t want the full track pack, they’re available individually for 160 MS Points, 200 Wii Points, or $1.99 respectively. See your local console for the digital store of your choice, but if you’re an Xbox 360 owner, it’s here.
Rock, as always, on.
