People have a lot of different ideas about how best to use a jetpack. Some were selfish, some were selfless and some were just plain weird. We had a lot of really clever submissions to our Rocket Knight contest, but because there is only one code to be had most will walk away saddened.

Man Facory’s Street Fight!! Round Two has been on almost constant replay since it’s release at GeneralGames.ca, but that’s no reason for us to hoard the sweet sounds to ourselves. As promised we’re giving away 2 copies of the digital CD to our fortunate readers, courtesy of the band themselves.

Congratulations to Luke B, and Steven Bilyeu you are both now owners of Man Factory’s Street Fight!! Round Two. Thanks again to all those who entered, we appreciate the entries. Keep your eyes posted to the site as we’ll have plenty more contests soon. In the meantime, feel free to check out the album at the official site.

Gaming is full of pilgrimages; from The Oregon Trail to ChuChu Rocket! there are plenty of video games that center around the theme of travel. In essence really, a large majority of games can be reduced to a commentary on the protagonist’s quest for a promise land. This week I’ll be that protagonist as I saddle up and head down to the southern province of America to join PAX East 2010 in Boston Massachusetts.

Keep an eye on the site over the next few days as I’ll be posting tons of interviews and previews from all the major publishers attending the convention. Also, keep tuned to Xbox.ca/Community as I’ll be sending some exclusive articles their way too. It’s going to be a wild ride, I’ve already got plenty of appointments booked but if you have any requests or suggestions on what to check out feel free to leave comments below. Wish me luck!

Street Fight!! Round Two is the second of (at least) three albums in Man Factory’s musical narrative set in the Street Fighter II universe. Tapping in to each character the album tackles a variety of musical stylings from classic blues to folk music making a truly diverse set. Lucky for us Man Factory has sent us two download codes for the album and we’re going to give them away to you, our beloved readers.

To enter the contest simply leave a comment below telling us either what game other than Street Fighter would make a great album and why, or write a Street Fighter inspired haiku. Winners will be selected at random and announced in a future post, so keep your eyes on the site to see if you’ve won. As always, don’t forget to include an e-mail address so we can contact you if you win. To bide your time until winners are announced you can sample both albums at the official page. Have fun, and good luck!
